(2012) The Woman In Black
HORROR
Based on a novel written by Susan Hill, which at the beginning has three underage girls committing suicide by jumping out of a window and then some screams are heard. Then after the credits is Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliff) a widowed father with a son to look after whose been summoned to visit an estate to settle some affairs located on some small village who has no choice but to leave him with his nanny. Once their, he ends up staying at the very attic where the three young girls jumped off from and upon visiting a colleague tries to send him back home but he refuses but instead visits the manor to look for some documents where while looking through a window he sees a 'woman in black'. This film has all the ingredients for a great haunted house film from remnants from "The Changeling", "Poltergeist", "The Haunting", "The Devil's Backbone", and "The Orphange" among others. And my rating might've been higher if it wasn't for the ending which was predictably dumb and seemed to look like it was unnecessarily tagged on, for it wasn't enough to bog down what I liked about it.
