A movie must-see this month!!!

The Woman in Black

Starring: Daniel Radcliffe

Released: 10/02/2012

Everyone is talking about new horror film The Woman in Black, the UK’s No. 1 box office hit, and we can definitely see why! In his first on-screen role since finishing Harry Potter, The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe, is a far cry from previous roles. Based on the gothic novel by Susan Hill and produced by the London based production company Hammer films, The Woman in Black is set in Edwardian times with a surprisingly grown up Radcliffe taking on the role of Arthur Kipps, a lawyer and widower left to raise his son alone.

Forced to move to the town that time forgot, Kipps sets out to sort the affairs of the recently deceased Alice Drablow, of Eel Marsh Estate. Inside the mansion lies suspense, shadows, secrets and anticipation around every corner. Hiding our eyes behind our hands throughout this terrifying film was a must and remember to take something warm to snuggle up in as the cold and creepy on-screen manor will literally chill you to the bone!

Outside the mansion there is no relief as the town’s people are no warmer. As they desperately seek to cover up their painful and twisted past from the new arrival, a local landowner lets slip about the mysterious woman in black, who vengefully haunts the town and as Kipps soon finds out, the mansion. Desperate to finish the job he was sent to do, he soon has to work even harder at finding out the truth about the mysterious goings on before it’s too late and the woman in black strikes again… will it be Kipps son who meets the same tragic end as so many other children in the town have already done?

Don’t make the same naïve assumption that we did and let the 12A certificate fool you into thinking this film will be an easy watch. This brilliant return to old-school horror will have you torn between running for the exit and at the same time not wanting to look away from looking away from the film!
