    Watched between my fingers

    This is a very atmospheric, old-fashioned ghost story. No huge twists, but very satisfying plot nevertheless. The acting was solid - nice to see Daniel Radcliffe in a more grown-up role. The setting was suitably eerie - seriously, who lives in these decaying old mansions? If you like "The Haunting", "The Others", and ghost stories like Henry James's "The Turn of the Screw", you will like this movie. Do not see it if you are one of those people who watches every horror movie and goes "Yeah, right." I grant you that any sane person would have bugged out of the haunted house in the first ten minutes. That is beside the point. Also, avoid it if monkeys and clowns freak you out.

    Not too scary for preteens and up, but probably too much for the 10 and under set.

    Fun Ride -- Pee in your Pants!

    THE WOMAN IN BLACK is a Victorian AMITYVILLE HORROR meets WINTER'S BONE meets POLTERGEIST. Exquisite costumes, sets, and cinematography shot amid Sleepy Hollowesque colors and lighting set the spooky tone for Daniel Radcliffe's eerie pursuit as a young lawyer searching for clues in an old decrepit English seaside mansion creaking with the memories of its tragically deceased family members. This artistic suspense thriller has over a dozen hearty heart stoppers due, in part, to the Director?s skillful peripheral attention to storytelling detail. Kudos to the film?s frightfully sadistic Sound Engineer who knows a good adrenaline rush when he hears one. This is a pee-in-your-pants movie. Parents, although this film has no sex, nudity, or profanity, there are images of suicide and the demise of children. Also, your kids will have nightmares if they sleep within a ghost?s reach of their favorite toy box or doll house. Guys, great date-clutching movie! (reviewed by Johnny Hollywood)

    Classic Horror is Back in Black!

    This is the kind of creepy, old school horror that you remember scaring the heck out of you as a kid. Wonderful movie that brings back the best of jump out of your seat scariness. Daniel Ratcliff is awesome, and the townspeople and back story all come together for a great old school, suspenseful horror film.

    It's nice to have classic creepy horror back in the (movie) house!
