    The Woman In Black (film) - Hammer Films

    AICN seems to like Hammer's "The Woman In Black" with Daniel Radcliffe...

    Produced by Talisman Films in association with Hammer Films

    The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in the client’s isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true intent.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I actually am kind of intrigued by it. A period piece chiller sounds fun, and Radcliffe is actually pretty talented.

    More AICN appreciated - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/53255

    The thing that strikes you about the new Gothic ghost story THE WOMAN IN BLACK is how little talking there is. There are huge passages of this film that are completely dialogue free, and by committing to that filmmaking style, director James Watkins (maker of the little-known but well worth checking out EDEN LAKE) removes any distractions we might have from being as tense and scared as we possibly can. And believe me, you will spend a great deal of time being both while watching this one. Sure, Watkins throws in a few cheap thrills in the process (a bird flying out of a chimney springs to mind), but most of his scares are well-earned in this classic tale of vengeful spirits courtesy of the folks at the revitalized Hammer Film.

    Just got back from seeing it. Pretty big disappointment. Daniel Radcliffe was better than I thought he'd be and it had very good photography, but it was only good for a few jumps here and there. And seriously--$6 for a small popcorn? 4 or 5/10.

    Shame, indeed. But a surprise?
    I'd already told my kid that I'd be seeing The Grey that night, which I did. But TWIB was sold out, so they had to see Sherlock instead. I'm guessing they were much better off in the end.
    I haven't heard a good review at all from anyone I know that's seen it.
    Good to see the curse is intact, Ron's other dabblings have been crap, too. Maybe a few more years or so we'll get some Hermione porn. Yay for us.
