The Woman in Black (2012)

by Ryan

Harry Potter's latest stint tells the tale of a young lawyer who travels to a creepy little town in hopes of selling this abandoned house out in the middle of nowhere for some reason. Whilst looking through the previous owner's belongings he stumbles upon a dark secret that involves a dead child and a really angry ghost lady. The movie opens on three little girls merrily playing with dolls in their room. Then all of a sudden, they stop playing and jump out the window. What we later find out is that the angry ghost lady is the reason for all of the child suicides in this creepy little town. Let me say that again. A fucking ghost is making all of the town's children kill themselves. Pretty messed up stuff. One kid drinks lye and starts puking blood until she dies. Another kid lights herself on fire. Shit's crazy! Overall, Woman in Black is a terrific horror movie. The film does a great job of building the scares until the climax, which literally sent a few chills down my spine. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that Harry Potter had a son. He still sounds and looks exactly like Harry Potter. It's hard for me to buy the fact that he has a little boy that is able to speak and walk already. Even though it makes perfect sense for a 20 something year old in the late 1800s to have a child. The ghost looked scary though. And that's all that really matters, isn't it?

Rating: 4 out of 5 dead children
