Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Whilst not being as good as the first Woman In Black film, it wasn't too bad overall. The tension was well built and the scares weren't too bad. The only thing that put me off was some of the cheesy acting. But, I've seen much worse!
This happens 40 years after the first encounter at the Eel Marsh house. A young woman and some children come back to stay in this famous house awakening the houses darkest secrets. Talking about the story it started off promising but soon went downhill. If you want to get some scares and don't care about the story line this movie is still not for you as there was nothing scary in this movie. I felt the acting was OK but they could not show their real talents if they get a story line like this. This movie was just made because they needed a sequel. I would suggest to stick to the prequel and don't watch this. The ending was predictable. A good part of this movie is that they cleared out the story of the ghost properly as it was not done in the prequel. No I would not suggest anyone to watch this movie.Notable ActingPhoebe FoxMy Rating 4/10
... if you're going to try to cash in on success at least do it well! I loved The Woman in Black - both the original and the remake - and, like most people of the same opinion, looked forward to revisiting the spookiness of Eel Marsh House. What a let down!The acting is reasonable. Phoebe Fox looks suitably scared running along dark corridors and peering fearfully through windows. They all do their best within the limitations of the script and the direction. The film is annoyingly dark and hazy, which I imagine was an attempt to create atmosphere (as precious little else in the film does) but instead is just ... well, annoying! There are a few frights but the fright formula is repeated so frequently throughout the film that it becomes tedious and predictable. The real villain of this piece is the director. As a stand alone film this would probably scrape by as an average horror but the problem is we judge it against it's predecessor and it doesn't come close. The Woman in Black was a class act, atmospheric and spooky with some genuine frights and good acting. This looks like it was thrown together in a couple of days. Watch it if there's nothing else on telly but don't pay good money to see it.
The original TV version was outstanding. This version was a sequel to the Hammer version starring Daniel Radcliffe.Too many scenes were so dark as to obscure what was happening. The general gloom reduced the atmosphere rather than adding to it.Scriptwriting lacked a clear dynamic. The original story by Susan Hill was a classic ghost story and provided a credible premise for the haunting. It should be possible to build on this, but unfortunately this sequel failed to do this. Ostensibly, all the ingredients were present, but... well, it takes more than an old neglected house and a bunch of wartime child evacuees to make a spooky film.Too episodic in plot to be effective. Overall short on tension and thrills.
