Movie Reviews of The Woman in Black
Movie Review: Quietly and genuinely terrifying.
Summary: 5 Stars
Herbert Wise's "The Woman in Black" is not a particularly well-known horror film, yet there are nearly 140 reviews of it on this Web site. That gives you an idea of the impact this DVD has on anyone who has ever seen it. It begins and proceeds quietly, it contains no gore, it would bore the life out of people whose idea of a great horror film is "Hostel" or "Saw." Yet for those viewers who appreciate films such as "The Innocents" or the original "Haunting," "The Woman in Black" is an obvious and unforgettable classic. The film's quietly foreboding atmosphere seeps into your bones and your brain, leading to a scene about three-quarters of the way through that contains more genuine terror in its sixty-second duration than all the multiple hours of the "Saw" movies combined. And that scene, in turn, prepares you for the devastating, take-no-prisoners ending. It is a tragedy that this DVD is now virtually unavailable anywhere; according to Susan Hill, the author of the original novel, Universal has bought the rights to "The Woman in Black," and for whatever reason refuses either to re-release it on DVD or allow it to be broadcast. If you can find a copy, snap it up, and count yourself lucky.
