PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"Not since young Hutter arrived at Orlok's castle in 'Nosferatu' has a journey to a dreaded house been more fearsome than the one in "The Woman in Black. (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times) ----------------------------------------
"The film, a handsome nerve-jangler co-produced under the storied Hammer horror banner, amps up the scares without turning them into something completely stupid. (Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune) ----------------------------------------
"'The Woman in Black' makes the most of its old-fashioned virtues (...) [it] isn't especially scary, but it keeps you on edge, and without the usual vivisectionist imagery" (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"James Watkins ('Eden Lake') and scripter Jane Goldman judiciously combine moves from the classic scare-'em-ups with new tricks from recent J-horror pictures to retell Susan Hill's oft-adapted Victorian gothic pastiche"
(Leslie Felperin: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"As opposed to modern horror flicks like the 'Saw' movies (...) 'The Woman in Black' is a tasteful, old-school frightener, emphasizing suspense and foreboding over blood and guts (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
