Our Review
“The Woman in Black” stands out as a well-crafted horror film that returns to the roots of gothic storytelling. With its heavy atmosphere and period setting, it foregoes gore for psychological terror. Radcliffe delivers a solid performance, breaking away from his wizarding persona to embody the tormented Kipps. The movie’s use of sound and silence is masterful, creating a sense of dread that is both relentless and refined. It’s a film that does justice to the classic ghost story genre.
