The Woman in Black is a really fine contribution to the Haunted House genre. Intense atmosphere and a good cast, fine production that cares for the details (the house alone - I would move in without second thought, of course with all necessary preparations: shotgun, chainsaw, garlic and some more convenient tools would move in with me), and Daniel Radcliffe, who once again shows that he is more than Harry Potter for lifetime.As I did not know much about the movie before I watched it, I was really pleasantly surprised, as many newer movies of the genre are not very "haunting" - many of those movies lack of atmosphere, thrill, the "right feel", but this one won't disappoint you. Like The Others (Nicole Kidman) or The Awakening (Rebecca Hall) a good one.

The Woman in Black isn't a bad movie. It's just average. Extremely average. I don't take average as bad though and I enjoyed watching this movie. Radcliffe does a great job in the movie but his character isn't anything special. He just plays a simple man who really acts a fool around sketchy stuff.My main gripe with the movie is how almost all the jump scares are predictable and the ones that aren't don't add anything to the movie or establish the ghost in any way. Makes it feel more like a haunted house attraction than an actual scary movie.What is great about the movie is the acting that I've already mentioned and the amazing cinematography. Many of the scenes would make for a really nice poster or wallpaper and I really enjoyed the scenes we get to see.Overall it's an average horror film that's very predictable in both the plot and the scares. Tries to throw in a twist ending but it didn't hit home for me at all. Pretty movies though
