Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Woman In Black

Genre: Drama Horror Thriller ,  contain dark paranormal horror

Cert :18 cert

Story: A young lawyer travels to a remote village where he discovers the vengeful ghost of a scorned woman is terrorising the locals.

Likes : This film is old school classic hammer horror style that pulls no punches with a dark twist to the story, the acting performances in this film were spot on they were believable & you could feel the terror in their eyes about this old mansion on the island,now i watched this film it scared the for the better word the crap out of me,it was intense, dark,creepy & spooky at the same time,the way this story unfolds is awesome you come to see why the ghost was so evil & full of rage but what you think ends up being a serious evil twist to the film, ell done for Daniel Radcliffe play Arthur Kipps who was sent to sell the house but unearthed more than he bargained for, he's performance was brilliant you could see the fear in his face in some scene which set the mood for this eerie but frighting atmosphere in the house,as he tries to understand what is going on & why is the ghost terrorising the locals, the beautiful Alisa Khazanova plays Mrs. Drablow/vengeful spirit now seriously she played this role well,her performance playing this ghost was nothing short of scary as hell,she really showed this dark presents of a woman scorned by the loss of her son by not just her son her husband save him self & not her son,she hung her self soon after,to make thinks worst the body of her son was never recovered so you can see why her vengeful spirit was on the war path. As a former paranormal investigator this film shows what most paranormal investigators would recognise that her spirit has become to earth bound for to long & lacking the light & unrest cease to be human in nature & become darker in the soul becoming evil in this way as you see in this film,also using the soul of other it become stronger & more vengeful over her sons death.This is what i can see from this film.alone with all the other casting of this film it real dose set the mood for a dark sinister creepy movie that you dare not watch in the dark,to me the way they have filmed this is like the old hammer horror film with Vince price as the lead role but with Daniel Radcliffe play he's role. it really was creep in places that just set your nerves on edge with a cold chill down you spin, there are scene that serious make you jump.

Dislikes : The only thing is it was a little slow that's the only thing wrong about it.

Overall : if you loved to be sacred out of you mind,love horrors & vintage style horror films this is one to watch,creepy atmospheric dark sinister storyline that will keep you up from sleeping.

Rating: 4 out of 5 for performance acting, 10 out of 10 for dark sinister creepy feel
