Woman in Black..
A lot of people will probably disagree with me, but at the weekend i went to see A Woman in Black and i really didn't like it. It got such good reviews for its play/novel, with everyone saying it was terrifying and many said the film was just as good and the trailer certainly didn't disappoint. And so me and my friend went to see it, expecting to be curled on the floor in fear (we're not good with scary films), but instead i found myself spending the majority of the film waiting for it to be over or sitting on my phone. I think my first problem with it is the plot, in theory its a good plot, potentially to be really interesting but the film just dragged it out and it was so dull. For at least 3/4 of the film nothing interesting happened it was just back story and character development, but i didn't even feel connected with the characters, i wasn't wanting him to live, in honestly i wanted something bad to happen to the main character just to entertain me.
Towards the end i will admit it did get interesting, especially as 1 or 2 bits were actually scary and i did find myself hiding behind my hands but i wasn't on the edge of my seats and the ending was so anticlimactic, my friend and i literally turned to each other and said 'is that it'. All in all, i really don't see the fuss with the film but clearly if a lot of people enjoy the film, its worth going to see and judging for yourself, but personally, I wouldn't waste your money on it.
