The Woman In Black

In a departure from his Harry Potter days, Daniel Radcliffe is a one-man show here. It’s an old fashioned ghost story -- it could be an episode of Masterpiece Theatre. There are stuffy British actors, period costumes, and most importantly, creepy-ass toys. You can’t really make a scary movie these days without featuring creepy-ass toys. There’s also a spooky-ass castle and some scary-ass jump scares, all of which makes The Woman in Black worth the ticket price for those who like this type of thing. Despite the stuffy, old-timey setting, and a resolution that lacks kick, there’s good filmmaking here. It’s a successful endeavor by the newly resurrected Hammer Films.
