WomanINBlackArtLand12512 Another Clip From The Woman In Black Keeps The Chair Rockin

Now in theaters everywhere is CBS Films’ The Woman in Black, the latest Hammer production that stars Harry Potter‘s Daniel Radcliffe.

Mr. Disgusting isn’t a huge fan of the film, “What’s most troubling is ‘Eden Lake’ director James Watkins’ inability to craft a “real” scare…there are two should-be terrifying moments that fall completely flat on its face.” Full review here. Other people seem to like this film, even though I agree that it’s a flat “horror for beginners” tale with way too many ineffectual jump scares.

CBS Films released a new clip today, and if you want an idea of what the second act of this film is all about – just imagine this scene playing over and over again for about 45 minutes. If that sounds like your thing, then by all means go see it.

[BD Review] The Woman in Black For Those Unacquainted With Horror

Now in theaters everywhere is CBS Films’ The Woman in Black, the latest Hammer production that stars Harry Potter‘s Daniel Radcliffe. While the film is beautifully shot, the unfortunate fact is it’s a horror film for those unacquainted with the genre.

“What’s most troubling is ‘Eden Lake’ director James Watkins’ inability to craft a “real” scare…there are two should-be terrifying moments that fall completely flat on its face.”

WomanINBlackArtLand12512 New UK TV Spot For The Woman In Black Continues The Global Promo Domination

On February 3 CBS Films releases Hammer’s The Woman in Black, an old fashioned ghost story starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter 1-7.2) and Ciaran Hinds (There Will Be Blood). With a screenplay by Jane Goldman (X Men: First Class, Kick Ass), based on the novel by Susan Hill, the film is directed by James Watkins who helmed Eden Lake in addition to writing The Descent: Part 2.

This film has the most wide array of marketing material I’ve seen recently, probably due to Radcliffe’s status as international superstar Harry Potter – many different territories are getting their own unique materials. Today we have a new UK TV spot.

“In this supernatural thriller, Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), a widowed lawyer whose grief has put his career as a lawyer 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.”

WomanLandscape10412 [Interview]: Director James Watkins On Daniel Radcliffes First Big Post Harry Potter Role, The Woman In Black!

On February 3 CBS Films releases Hammer’s The Woman in Black, an old fashioned ghost story starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter 1-7.2) and Ciaran Hinds (There Will Be Blood).

With a screenplay by Jane Goldman (X Men: First Class, Kick Ass), based on the novel by Susan Hill, the film is directed by James Watkins who helmed Eden Lake in addition to writing The Descent: Part 2. I recently had a chance to speak with Watkins about the film, which is a real departure for him in terms of tone and achieving what he calls “a pervasive sense of dread“.

“In this supernatural thriller, Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), a widowed lawyer whose grief has put his career as a lawyer 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.”
