2012 Movies: The Woman in Black
The Woman In Black, 2012
Directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake, which I've never heard of)
Seen in Richmond with Jess
Hmm. Well...what it lacks in substance, I suppose it makes up for in style. A very weak and undercooked plot kind of rolls through this middling horror movie. Scary, once things get rolling, to be sure, but quickly slipping into a pattern of "Suddenly quiet, creepy music, then something jumps out at us! Oh noes!" over and over again. Wrapped up with a very unsatisfactory ending and what you've got here is an intensely forgettable horror film.
I will say that I think this film says good things about Daniel Radcliffe's future. He seems to be able to handle himself quite well outside the world of Harry Potter.
Overall: Weak and forgettable. Unless you love Daniel Radcliffe or horror films, skip this one.
