The Woman in Black (2012)

This is a very recent film but I felt I had review it as it is very misleading on the scare level! It is 'The Woman in Black'.

Genre: Horror-Thriller
My Rating: 7/10
Scare Factor: 8/10
Gore Factor: 4/10
Humour Level: Low
Suspense Level: High
Rated: 12
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe

This film is about a man, Arthur (Daniel Radcliffe), who visits a town which is haunted by a ghost known as 'The Woman in Black'. Legend has it that whenever she is spotted, something horrible happens to one of the children in the town. It is then up to Arthur to discover the cause of the curse and put an end to the haunting.

For those who dont know, this film is rated a 12! Now I dont know what has happened to ratings but maybe people dont get scared as easily anymore and so ratings have been reduced. Why am I saying this? Because after watching vast amounts of horrors and thrillers I can tell you that this film is right up there as one of the scariest. Not because its full of torture or blood or anything, but the jumps in it are horrendous and are enough to leave you shaking! My friend who loves scary movies was so shaken by this movie she asked to turn it off half way through and watch something 'cheerful'. So if you are looking for a film that makes you jump... without a doubt this is the film for you!
