The Woman In Black - 2012 - 5/10

Hammer film starring Daniel Radcliffe, based on the West End shocker that has been playing since … when … the Gladstone administration?
Twisted tale set in haunted house where our young clerk must shift several lots of papers.
He gets distracted constantly. Noises overhead, creaking down the hall, movement outside. So he stops working to start chasing. I hate working with people like that.
Every five minutes, the film had a gotcha surprise punctuated with REALLY LOUD music.
Film-makers have opened up the play considerably with brooding exteriors and wonderfully appointed interiors.
Fellow members of the room audience thought the sets too perfect.
Good for some jolts, but an overall disappointment for me.
