Arthur Kipps ,a lawyer ,travels to a remote village to settle papers of an isolated mansion...

Starring- Daniel Radcliffe,Liz White
Director-James Watkins

Woman In Black is a great horror movie set in the late 19th century..The type of horror it follows is the slow and generally stays pretty much in the background of the shots..

Daniel Radcliffe plays the main character ,Arthur Kipps..Coming just out of the Harry Potter movies ,it is refreshing to see Daniel play someone other than Potter...Fortunately ,he gives in a great performance and the only complain is that he looked a bit young for the role...

The film is a remake of a 1989 movie of the same name ,which was adapted from the book ,also of the same name...But still the movie is still fresh and delivers the chills and scares at the right places...The cliches are present but most of them are neatly wrapped and presented in a different way..

Direction for horror movies usually dont meet the mark ,but Chris Miller has managed to pull off a good work..

All in all Woman in Black is the first awesome horror movie of the year..
