5.0 out of 5 stars This film ruined my childhood!, 21 Jul 2006

By	Mr. Jc King - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Im a fully grown adult male for petes sake!

It matters not! Even now at 28 years old, I only have to think back to the Christmas of 1989, then aged 11, where I sat and watched "The Woman in Black" with no adults present, to send myself into a state of fear and panick.

After that, every incident of cowering under the sheets in bed at night was due to this film, I spent every year until the arrival of the internet asking pretty much everyone I met if they had seen the film that Christmas. No one had, and I almost
started to think that I had seen it in a nightmare at one point.

When I finally got a copy, just weeks ago, it brought the fear back in seconds.
I would go as far as to say that this is THE most chilling supernatural horror every produced.
Seriously, dont watch it if you are easily scared, or have children around you.

You could ruin their childhoods too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genuinely spine chilling film., 17 Jan 2005

By	dragondrums "dragondrums" (Ingleby Barwick, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is one of the creepiest, spookiest ghost stories ever filmed. Adapted from Susan Hill's book of the same title, the tale centres around a young lawyer sent to settle the estate of a deceased old lady. At the funeral, he sees what he thinks is another mourner, a woman dressed all in black. When he mentions this to others however, he gets a strange reaction and quickly realises all is not as it seems. Whenever this woman appears, so local legend says, a child will die. From then on, things become more and more tense as he becomes haunted by this mysterious woman.
This production uses no special effects or fancy sets and to be honest, I think it would have detracted from the film if there had been. Instead, the viewer is left to concentrate purely on the story which becomes increasingly tense as it develops. There are several moments that will make you jump or send a shiver through you. Watch it alone with the lights off if you dare!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant but Dangerous, 30 Jun 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Woman In Black [VHS] [1989] (VHS Tape)

The experience of watching this film will certainly be one of the scariest you will face in life, I saw it when I was 13 and what followed was two years of sleepless nights, the terrible woman is the most sinister figure imaginable, and I still shudder when I think of her. No other film or programme has really scared me. Do not show this to children or watch it alone, believe me it is compelling but can have a dangerous psychological impact, I stopped watching after the woman in black flew through the window and I will never see the rest.
be careful
