On a dreary looking afternoon in a small town, three young girls are having an innocent tea party. Then you feel it. Something has shifted in the air. The girls turn their emotionless faces towards the window. As if beyond their control, they all stand in unison and make their way towards their second story bedroom window, mindlessly stepping on the small glass tea set and their freakishly lifelike looking dolls. Slowly opening the window, they step out into the rocky road that meets them below. That’s where this chilling tale of The Woman in Black begins. The audience is then brought into Arthur Kipps’ desperate attempt at being able to financially support his son, Joseph, after the tragic death of his wife. Being a realtor, Kipps is assigned to try and sell the ominous house in the marsh as his last chance to save his family from poverty. Since he is so desperate to make ends meet, he ignores the warnings that the locals give him about the house and the woman that lived there. Little does he know that this woman was full of vengeance and never really left. After getting trapped there for a night due to the tide coming in and temporarily wiping out the only road that leads him there and back, he discovers that there is more to this woman’s story than the locals are willing to admit. I don’t want to ruin it for you if you haven’t seen it yet so I’ll just let you linger on that and advise you to go and see this spectacular film that has graced the horror movie genre.
