A good scary film
12 April 2022
The Woman in Black is a supernatural horror film directed by James Watkins. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Ciarán Hinds, Janet McTeer, Sophie Stuckey, and Liz White.

A young lawyer travels to a village to examine a house and encounters a vengeful ghost of a woman.

I have read reviews of this film in which viewers were going gaga over the horror in the film and I would also like to give my vote in this favor. The film is indeed scary and justifies the hype seen on various reviewing platforms.

The plot of film is intriguing and to much extent the execution is good, the film doesn't wastes mush time in character explanation and comes straight to the point. The director is been successful in creating the atmosphere of scare be it through the darkness, the creepy dolls or the background environment. Though there are lots of jump scares but the director had avoided using eerie sound to create horror.

Acting is superb and Daniel Radcliffe carries the entire film very convincingly, in terms of support cast apart from Ciarán Hinds and Janet McTeer none of the cast gets much screen space.

Screenplay of the film is slow but the screenplay writer has been successful in scaring from the beginning although till the time the film reaches to it's end the horror starts to diminishing because in my opinion the viewers gets habitual. The climax of the film is good and is unconventional.

Overall a decent scary film and if you love horror films then this is the film for you. A must watch.
