Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
svr-2200 The Woman in Black Angel of Death: Movie Review.The Woman in Black: Angel of Death is an okay type of fair horror movie with some creepy and scary elements. The movie has dark atmospheric tone and vibe and is visually stylish and sharp, but lacks the creepiness of the first part The Woman in Black film, still the movie has some visually dark and creepy sequences. The film lacks intensity and intriguing elements in it story because there is not much story. Main lead characters are dull and boring. The film lacks character development and there is very less feel of tension and scares. The story feels empty and undeveloped. The horror aspect of the movie seems hollow at certain points and has no deep or real impact. All over, its just a below average not so good horror film.(Please Note: That This Review represent only my professional point of view and my personal honest opinion about the film, and does not represent others. Thank You).
lorraineesimpson ... if you're going to try to cash in on success at least do it well! I loved The Woman in Black - both the original and the remake - and, like most people of the same opinion, looked forward to revisiting the spookiness of Eel Marsh House. What a let down!The acting is reasonable. Phoebe Fox looks suitably scared running along dark corridors and peering fearfully through windows. They all do their best within the limitations of the script and the direction. The film is annoyingly dark and hazy, which I imagine was an attempt to create atmosphere (as precious little else in the film does) but instead is just ... well, annoying! There are a few frights but the fright formula is repeated so frequently throughout the film that it becomes tedious and predictable. The real villain of this piece is the director. As a stand alone film this would probably scrape by as an average horror but the problem is we judge it against it's predecessor and it doesn't come close. The Woman in Black was a class act, atmospheric and spooky with some genuine frights and good acting. This looks like it was thrown together in a couple of days. Watch it if there's nothing else on telly but don't pay good money to see it.
trashgang Where's the time that Hammer was a standard for creepy flicks or Gothic stories. That's a long time ago. Hammer came back years ago and all geeks were cheering about the fact that they were here to stay, unless, they gave us crap. This isn't crap but it's just on the edge of becoming one. Picking in on the success of Woman In Black (2012) and the comeback of ghost flicks like the Insidious franchise Hammer found it time to make a follow up to the 2012 entry. Can't say that it was badly shot but there wasn't any scary moment to pick up. Oh yeah, when teens would watch it those would scream it aloud. It takes almost over 1 hour and 15 minutes before things really are shown, before that it's the sound that should do it, you know, hearing voices, children singing, the old trick done years ago but here, sadly for me it didn't work at all.

metalrage666 Question- what do you get if you dress head to toe in black, only come out at night and stay in the shadows?Answer- absolutely nothing! If you can imagine yourself trying to appreciate a black painting with the lights off then that's pretty close to trying to enjoy this movie. Set in WWII London during the blitz, several children are rounded up and relocated to Eel House far out in the English countryside of Crythin Gifford. This movie is a very unremarkable and watered down ghost story that's even more derivative than its predecessor. With its many clichés, you can basically be watching any other ghost movie written in the last 20 years. Not long after they all move into the house, weird noises, strange messages and toys that move by themselves are among the first indicators that you're watching a recycled script unfold. One child has been rendered mute due to the trauma of having both his parents killed during the bombing of London, so he becomes the target of some teasing from 2 other boys. For some reason the spirit of the house gets revenge on one of the boys by making him leave the house during the middle of the night only to end up dead on the moors, wrapped in barbed wire. There's no real rhyme or reason as to why this happened other than we seem to have a vengeful spirit with a conscience on our hands. We learn at some point that other bus loads of children had been sent to the same location but have all been killed by the woman in black. There's some bizarre flashback/dream sequence where the teacher accompanying the children gave birth when she was really young and at that time, if you weren't married or well to do, babies were forcibly removed from unmarried mothers and placed in foster care. Somehow the house spirit knows this and sets about making the woman feel guilty about "abandoning" her baby despite her desperate search for him using the "vast" resources available in the 1930's. So now we have an opinionated vengeful spirit with a conscience and morals. I started losing interest at some point as I was wondering when this was supposed to start getting scary and making some kind of sense. The kids and co decide to leave after a second child dies and they end up at a dummy airfield complete with fake planes designed to confuse enemy bombers from destroying real targets. The woman in black follows them there, she decides to show her face for an attempt at some random scares and fails dismally. There's an epilogue where the young teacher has now adopted the student who had lost his parents and they are now living in an apartment back in London. The woman in black appears, (this is the ONLY time you get a half decent look at her), she destroys a photo on the mantle and the movie ends. I didn't really get this at all and the convoluted back story just gets in the way of the material. The excessive use of shadow, during the middle of the night made it almost impossible to work out what the hell was going on. The feeble attempts at building atmosphere are outweighed by the predictable jump scenes that rely on silence followed by the sudden high pitched screechy music. There's nothing new in this that hasn't been seen before and simply calling it boring is actually doing it a favour. Don't waste your time watching this, go and hang a black coat somewhere in the room, turn all the lights off, pretend it's a ghost and you've just re-created this entire movie for free.
