The Woman In Black haunts her old home on an island that can only be reached when the tide is out. When Arthur Kipps - A young widowed lawyer - is sent to do the paperwork on the house so that his firm can sell it. Instead of doing this, he starts to chase noises around the house and children start killing themselves on the main land.

Daniel Radcliffe seems to be doing the Elijah Wood (see Sin City) way of shedding his cast typing by making films that are the complete opposite of Harry Potter. His performance is good, although he just seems too young to be a widow and have a four year old child. Ciaren Hinds is also good as Kipps's friend Sam Daily who has lost his son to The woman in black years before.

This film is scary and it made me jump a few times. The woman in black is someone I would never want to come across and I felt for the characters in the film. It has an ending that you can think of as either good or bad which is a bit different.  Hammer films have made a decent comeback. I look forward to seeing of what they do next.

****Good
