Woman in Black - MD Review

There’s been lots of comment about Daniel Radcliffe being too young for the role of widowed lawyer – nonsense he’s positively middle aged by Victorian standards. More problematic is his singularly unique acting style whereby he’s great at looking shocked by creaky effects and CGI but not much cop at anything involving human interaction. And with the supporting throng consisting of the usual stereotype locals unwilling to share their communal secret it was hard to feel too much for anyone involved. 

Ultimately the story is by numbers, but it looks authentic, there’s a pulpible underlying menace and the odd genuine scare.

Score: 5/10
