 Disappointing.... November 8, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've heard the hype about this story for years and been told many times that "nothing really happens, but its really creepy," and so I hadn't built my hopes up too much before watching it. Its essentially like one of those 'Victorian ghost' story short-films the BBC used to air around Christmas time (a tradition that seems to have passed now, unfortunately) in that there's a lot of build up, and a sagely, older male character (in tweeds) offering whiskey and dire warnings to the lead character, of fearful things to come, in order to add to the tension. But they always culminate in a obviously telegraphed, damp squib of an ending. 'Woman in Black' is much the same. There are a couple of scary sections, but nothing a 12 year old couldn't handle. Its 'feel' is very much like an 80s ITV production and is acted well, but the story is just a let down for a 21st century pallet.
 Scariest Film I have ever seen! October 21, 2008
I watched this on TV many years ago when it was on one Christmas with my sister. All the adults had gone to bed. It only took seeing her face across the moor for me to be terrified and have to go to bed. I tried to watch the rest the next day in daylight and was still scared and to this day I have never seen the whole film all the way through without fast forwarding "that scene." I can watch most horror films etc without any nightmares or feeling scared afterwards, I am now 30 and still terrified by it this though. Almost forgot to say it is a very good film too!!

I first watched the film ''The Woman in Black'' on TV several Christmases ago. The scene that really terrified my sister and I was the one when the ghostly lady was hovering over the bed. In fact, it scared us so much we were unable to sleep for weeks! Another particularily creepy scene in my opinion was the close up of her in the graveyard behind the house. The look of hatred on her face was horrifying. We recently obtained a copy of the video last year and I watched it twice before we sold it on. After the the experience of watching this film the very first time all those Christmases ago, I grabbed a cushion at the time the Solicitor was in bed when he reached under his pillow and brought out a toy soldier....I remembered what was coming next!!!!!!!! Then a few days later, I felt brave enough to watch THAT scene again after a friend and my sister found it hilarious. It was eerie without a doubt but it did make me laugh and I feel now I am able to watch it without the aid of a cushion :o)br /br /Overall it is a brilliant film and if you haven't watched it before and get the chance to, keep the lights on and make sure you have company. The shocking appearance of her floating in the bedroom will have you reaching for the covers even if you expect it!
 One word: TERRIFYING!!!!!!!! July 6, 2008

A solicitor is sent from London to take care of the will of a woman. When he attends her funeral, he sees a woman in black standing at the back of the church. He then saves the life of a young girl, unaware that this act dooms him and his family. br /br /I saw this when I was 14, and I will never watch it again, not because it's a bad film, but because it frightened me too much. br /br /At school we had read a passage from the book and our teacher decided to show the film to us. We were all TERRIFIED when the scene where the Woman in Black comes through the window and floats over Kidd's bed, although, just before that there is something that also frightened us, which was when Kidd finds the toy soldier underneath his pillow, and he hears a childs voice say "It's for you". That scene still haunts me to this day, nearly 7 YEARS after I saw the film. br /br /If you are easily scared, AVOID THIS FILM!!!!!!!!br /

I enjoy being " scared " like many of us but with the exception of some recent Japanese films far too much emphasis has been put down to grisly gore .Well I dont feel that this at all bears upon the most terrifying film that I have ever seen.At the time which was Christmas Eve it scared me greatly as I felt drawn in to the perilous remote dank misty environment which seemed to sum up the dread of impending doom and juxtaposed with the normal Christmas merriment that was actually going on in the real world from which you felt that you were being removed .The Atmosphere was heavy with forboding and built up inexorably.The scenes of the young solicitor so so (foolishly ?) alone in that great isolated dark place at the same time seemingly impervious to the situation with his proper seemly decorum and "City" innocence and worse to be further separated from safety by that dangerous flood and fret prone causeway where the fast fading light was all diffuse and indistinct and the sounds echoey and difficult to place...... surely it must have existed upon an evil site much much older then thr Victorian time frame in which it is set.Every time the camera pans from the young chap playing an Edison Cylinder phonograph to looking outside through the windows at a desolate scene covered by a fret with images evanescent that could be real or unreal made me tenser by the second.This is THE way to scare...... build up what might be there what may happen and then just when you start to think that your fears are unfounded....Phow !! you are hit with her black outline floating impossibly staring IN at you with a malevolance that Ive never seen the like of before or since.I must say that I only watched it once(and am very unlikely to do so again )and am so very relieved to read all those others who also were scared half to death.Few visceral fears cross the years quite like this one....it really did access the unconscious more primal brain certainly in my case .I am simply full of goose bumps writing this and thinking about the experience .It is quite simply THE MOST DISTURBING story you can possibly see to date....those people who are literally haunted by that experience 10 and almost 20 years on including your writer here is surely testament to that.
