Woman in Black: Angel of Death

[McG]

Apologies if there already is a thread but I could not see one. If one already exists, please merge, mod.

Saw this last night as a last minute offer by SFF . . . quite unusual in Glasgow to have tickets offered only on the actual day of screening. I tossed up between Dumb & Dumber To and this film and sought advise given I didn't particularly like either first film.
In the end, went to WiB and do think it was probably the better of the 2 films on offer.
No Daniel Radcliffe this time, thank goodness! Although not really horror as such, there are certainly a few 'jumps' to be had in the film helped along by very dramatic music. It's a fairly tense film at times though not particularly satisfying story.
I would never have pa*d to see this but a freebie or voucher makes it ok.
Marks 6/10

I would say that this ticks all the boxes as far as horror goes frights, jumps, shocks and suspense. Perhaps what is lacking is gore, but this is a traditional ghost story.
I have to admit that I was left a little confused by a plot development that seemed to be in the form of a letter that happened too quickly for me to take in, coupled with a few secondary back stories that were also a bit rushed. The sets were all rather comic book/cgi for my liking too. Felt this cheapened it a little.
That said. Have to say. Rather enjoyed.

An easy 8/10.

Spooked me. Try walking up to house tonight in pitch black. No house lights. No street lights where I stay. Swear I saw a black figure watching me.

Very generic and seen it all a million times before. If you liked the last film I guess you'll like this.

Thanks to elski we saw this at the BFI. For a Hammer Horror film production I was expecting lots of jumps and scares but it really wasn't that bad. The original WIB was much scarier I thought. 5/10

Shameful cash in on the original that was more laughable that scary.

5/10

Saw this again last night as it premiered on Channel 4. Why on earth was it on so late? It didn't start until 12:45am and ran until two thirty am. It really isn't that horrific.

Then standing in my dark kitchen afterwards, alone in the house, do I not hear the looooong sloooooow creak of a door swinging open! First rational thought - I imagined it. No it was real. And loud. Second rational thought - it's just the wind or a drought blowing open a door. Search as I might thought I could not even locate the culprit door! So - I just had to pretend that I had heard nothing. Spook!
