So, just came back from the new ''Potter'' film, in other words 'The Woman in Black'...
And I have to say, I was expecting it to be good (after waiting a millennium to see it, mind you love), but it was BLOODY FREAKING BRILLIANT! Exaggeration?

The annoying sound effects weren't too overdone, however, it didn't lessen the irritation. For that, the rating I give the film lost a few points.
Although, the makeup for the Woman in Black was a bit overdone at times. Like, her death wasn't that gruesome. Like you said, it's not like the wild wolves came and ate a portion of her face, but bloody hell that's what it looked like! I know she was sick, but still... The musty corpse look was a little overboard. I didn't get a close look at her features until she flew across the room screaming in Arthur's face. It wasn't until then I realised how macabre she appeared. It was nothing like the original 80s TV movie, that's for sure.
Also, you'd think when they dug up her son's body, he'd be nothing but bones. His death wasn't exactly recent since he passed away in 1889, and the film is set somewhere in the late 1890s. Could wet marsh preserve a body like that? I didn't think the body would still be intact like it was, even though the face was decaying.
Oh, and a belated thank you for the v-gift you sent me a week ago. ♥
