There are not so many weird things in the world, and all dark events happen only because your demons are at work. "Woman in Black" is originally a simple inheritance case, but it incorporates elements of curse, making the film also suspenseful and full of dark colors. The Douban score of this film is not high, only 5.8, but it is still very worth watching.
Arthur Cops lost his wife at an early age and left his young son, who has been immersed in pain and unable to extricate himself, and his career has entered a downturn. He took over a case of inheritance and went to a relatively remote village to deal with the client's affairs, only to find that the people in the village were very strange, as if they were hiding something. And the client's house also lives a mysterious female ghost, she is bent on revenge. If the revenge of the female ghost begins, everyone will not be spared.
Director James Watkins chose a more extreme case, but there is not much room to play, and there are many scenes without dialogue. The film is full of dark and thrilling elements, which seem a bit gloomy and have a deep suspense atmosphere. James integrates the different elements of the film, whether it is the plot setting or the character development, there is a subtle design. His "Paris Crisis" is a very good action film, which is worth appreciating.
Daniel Radcliffe plays Arthur, a frustrated lawyer commissioned in an inheritance case, who encounters incredible things in the client's village. He was ostracized by the villagers here, and he also found the female ghost in the house, which was simply terrifying. Daniel's performance is very powerful and convincing to the audience, and his mature acting skills are well interpreted in Arthur's body. He has been starring in the Harry Potter series of films and is also known to audiences for playing this role.
Liz White plays a female ghost who is obsessed with the truth she wants to know, and also troubles the residents of the village and brings danger to Arthur. As far as the ghost role she starred in is also quite scary, coupled with the deeply frightening music and terrifying indoor scenes, it adds a lot to the weirdness of this film.
The horror of "The Woman in Black" can only be truly understood by the audience who has watched the film. Judging from the ending of the film, it is an open-ended ending, allowing the audience to freely use their imagination. Arthur and his son did not die, or the two died, were reunited with their wives, and the family was together in perfect harmony. The last shot of the female ghost, the tears behind the black veil, may be her gratitude to Arthur. Through her own way, she reunited the family of three and completed the redemption of Arthur's family. Revenge is only the redemption of oneself, and life cannot be repeated, it is better to cherish oneself.
