Plot: “Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), a widowed lawyer whose grief has put his career in jeopardy, is sent to a remote village to sort out the affairs of a recently deceased eccentric. But upon his arrival, it soon becomes clear that everyone in the town is keeping a deadly secret. Although the townspeople try to keep Kipps from learning their tragic history, he soon discovers that the house belonging to his client is haunted by the ghost of a woman who is determined to find someone and something she lost… and no one, not even the children, are safe from her vengeance.” ~The Woman In Black Official Movie Website
Horror and suspense (i.e. scary but not gory) films are my favorites. This one was OK for this genre. There were definitely a few moments where I was glad I was watching this movie with the lights on. The underlying back stories were actually very sad but I’m glad they were there. A lot of scary movies don’t have much of a back story, but this one had two. I thought the ending was very appropriate as well. There’s not much I can say about this movie. It really was just OK. Maybe it’ll scare you more. 😉
Until next time, this has been a real housewife in Houston moment.
