The Woman in Black
Feb. 15th, 2012 08:34 pmWent and saw The Woman in Black this afternoon with Daniel Radcliff.
I'm not a big fan of scary movies. To quote Bender Bending Rodriguez: "...I don't like things that are scary and painful!"
That said, I didn't think this movie was all that great. I believe the director was trying to cultivate a moody, gothic atmosphere and, to a point, it worked. But, in all fairness, I think they could have cut about thirty minutes out of this film.
So, bearing all that in mind, I'm giving The Woman in Black a 4 on the Melworks Scale of Movie Love. It's not a date-night movie and I wouldn't pay full price to see it if I had any choice.
If you want to see a moody, spooky ghost story I'd recommend The Others before this one.
