The Woman in Black (1989 TV Movie)
6/10
Atmospheric and genuinely scary telefilm developing in a slow pace and tension enough
21 March 2022
Creepy and mysterious terror movie dealing with a young solicitor is assigned by his chief to go to a remote location, at Eel Marsh Island, to deal with an inheritance issue . There he discovers a vengeful ghost , known as The Woman in black. Shortly after, he becomes ensnared into bizarre happenings. Then the lawyer turns the next target for the nasty ghost , as he has to fend off the damned spirit . She never forgives . She never left.

Scary and ghastly film about a haunted mansion located at a mashland , where bizarre and weird events happen. This spine-chiller ghost story packs a dark developing that runs in slow-moving , but it doesn't results to be dull , but entertaining and mysterious. An old-fashioned quiet terror flick with interesting and twisted script by prestigious Nigel Kneale, based on the successful novel by Susan Hill. Main and support cast are pretty well, such as Adam Rawlins , Bernard Hepton, Clare Holman and special appearance by Pauline Moran as creepy and eerie Woman in Black . It had a reboot produced by Hammer Films : "Woman in Black" 2012 by James Watkins with Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds, James McTeer, Shawn Dooley. And a sequel "Woman in Black : Angel of Death" 2014 by Tom Harper with Helen McGlory, Phoebe Fox, Jeremy Irvin.

It packs a frightening and sinister musical score by Rachel Portman. As well as evocative conematohraphy by Michael Davis. This motion picture Woman in Black 1989 was professionally directed by Herbert Wise. He was a good TV director making several episodes of known series , such as : The 10th kingdom, Where the heart is , Class act , Ruth Rendell mysteries , American playhouse , Tales of unexpected, Masquerade , Man of straw , Upstairs , downstairs and I Claudius . Rating : 6/10. Acceptable and passable.
