Woman in black review


'Should not be a 12, Not scary but should not be a 12'. All the way throughout the movie, i could get daniel radcliffe as harry potter out of my head. I think if you've made a name for yourself like daniel radcliffe with harry potter, it's quite annoying because people will always reference you as that character, it's just like the actors out of friends, they'll always be refered to as ross or rachel or any of those characters.

Sure a loads of moments when things popped out at the screen are just cliche and overused conventions. I even said when daniel dropped the ever lasting matches, he picked it up and at this moment, i said to my friend that i was with, 'i bet something pops out of the screen as soon as he lights that match' and as it turns out i was correct.

It's not very scary but for the certificate it's been given, there would be a lot of people out there who are actually scared of this film. I can highly recommend this film if you're a fan of insidious or grave encounters. 

When daniel is at one end of the dark room, when the camera pans up to reveal the door with the woman in black standing there, The soul or essence of the woman in black rushed forward and the sound effect that they used for that scream was cheap, I could literally type in Youtube 'Girl screaming' and receive the same results, that's how bad it was. I don't think the director paid good enough attention to the sound either, he was concentrating what was happening on screen but the music is what builds suspense. Sure they're a few peaks in the volume that tries to build up suspense but i felt like it failed to capture the audience.

I'm going to give the woman in black a 7 out of 10. it's mainly the sound that gets it down, it just felt like during the entire film that the director didn't care about the movie and only caring about the budget and made some sacifrices

Thanks for reading
