The Woman In Black (1989)

In 7 words or less: Don't holiday in Crythn Gifford.

Best bits? A suitably spooky adaptation of Susan Hill's excellent novel. The cheapness of the production doesn't take away from the ghostly scares and it gave me a few chills whilst watching. Best bits include the appearance of a solem WIB (woman in black, I abbreviate to save time) and the recurring haunting of the house in the marshes.

Did it make you think thoughts? Thoughts are squarely on the remake starring Daniel Radcliffe which is due out immanently. I am really looking forward to the film and to Radders revealing that, after all, he's actually a really good actor and he played Harry Potter as a goon on purpose.

Would you watch it again? Yes, It's got Sunday afternoon written all over it.

Rating (out of 100%): 68% Dated but still functional scares.
