Review – The Woman in Black

One of the ways America and England differ is in the quality of our movie rustics. American rubes tend to take after city folk directly with chain saws. On the other side of the Atlantic, a more subtle sense of hostile shunning seems to be the mistreatment of choice. At least in this case the cold shoulder is somewhat justified, as the presence of outsiders in the local haunted mansion re-awakens a vengeful, child-killing spirit. Hammer re-emerges from the netherworld and Daniel Radcliffe makes a bid to start playing adult roles in this dreary, atmospheric ghost story. Mildly amusing
