Just saw woman in black yesterday. It was very scary! Her face was terrifying! I think the creepiest part was the children commuting suicide. So sad!!
I have seen Paranormal Activity 1,2 and soon 3. I think the women in black is the best horror movie ever made. Along with Friday the 13th and nightmare elmstreet, Horror movies are different these days. Older horrors are much much scarier. And the comedy era of movies back in the 80,s and 90,s was halarious airplane for example. But i am looking foward to the new women in Black but the older one will always win.
@iceangel10221 Actually I don't agree. I found it predictable and boring, too busy and too full of horror cliche. This version was located in what is familiar and real, enough to be possible in anyone's life, whereas how many of us will ever find ourselves alone in a ruined Gothic Mansion of the kind in the current version. I think that a good ghost story has to be fairly restrained and the newer film is completely over the top.
the film was shown on ch. 4 1989 on christmas eve, i had never heard of it and watched in in black and white, it was and is, one of the scariest ghost stories of all time but i have to admit the book is much better and is a classic of its time...m r james wouldve been proud had he written it.
Seriously, what is the point in scaring ourselves shitless? Why does humanity love it so much? I don't mind doing it during the day but when it comes to the evenings and it's dark I'm like... Why the fuck did I watch that?
If you think the 1989 television version was creepy, read the book and watch the trailers (creepy enough ) for the upcoming 2012 film version starring Daniel Radcliffe.Unfortunately this is the only ghost story British author, Susan Hill has written
@Colddeed OMG, it sure was Miss Lemon! I've seen this movie many times (have the DVD) and never realized that. I guess I never was brave enough to look at her straight for long. It looks like the new one with Daniel Radcliffe is pretty creepy too but may have changed substantially from the book or this earlier version. You never saw the woman in black in the trailer, just plenty of girls which are not in the book by Susan Hill.
@2pac4e He's residing in that house at the moment; he doesn't know of the stories that surround it yet. He doesn't even know the woman is a ghost or her evil purpose, he just runs because he's scared of her.
@2pac4e Thats one of the reasons why people can be that dumb in a movie RUN THE FUCK DOWN THE ROAD DON'T Hide in the house i always yell that when watching movies like these with friends on the weekends
@jonathan45278 I would act the same way! Hahaha I loved how you phrased it. At first, it looks like she is walking towards him but u realize she is just staring. Menacingly..and then she makes her move towards you..*chills*
So I have only just heard about this because of Daniel Radcliffe's adaptation but this seriously looks terrifying! I saw comments about it as a play, and I must say, because I'm a play junkie, I have to see it! Though I noticed that I was more scared when she was far away. *chills*
Adrian Rawlins who played James Potter since the first film stars in the 1989 movie while Daniel Radcliffe who played James'son Harry stars in the remake ! Strange, isn't it ? :-)
I saw this on TV years ago. This scene really freaked me out. I reckon that I would act the same way. For a brief second I would look at the situation logically but then my fears & flight instict would take over & I would run like hell.
The most vexing film so far to have marked its trail on my subconscience since the year 1992 up until this present time. An element of haunting perhaps emanates from the nostalgia of having been introduced to it as far back as 1992, but something had to account for its clawing subsistence for all those years. Perhaps most poignantly, it is the very sorrow and wistfulness veiled behind that evil when accompanied by a bleak silence that spoke at such elevated and ethereal volumes.
Shouldn't show her face in the scene. Humanises her too much. That was what was great about the stage adaption/ They're right in front of you yet ... you can't quite see all.
@Songremixer123 I saw this version when i was about 6 and the close up of her face actually scared the crap outta me. It's not as bad watching it back now, but it haunted me (no pun intended) for years..... i'm still not over this movie. Everytime it's a bit fogy and i'm alone,it's the first thing i think of!!:(
I saw this in London some years ago, but it had a much more claustrophobic feel in the theatre. I also remember the temperature was ice cold during the performance...or perhaps that was just me.
The play is waaaaaaay scarier than the film, maybe the new version with Daniel Radcliffe will be more effective but i dont think itll be as impressively scary as the stage production; I was shaking throughout the whole thing but it was so worth it!!
This film is crap (no offence), but seriously if you're going to see it, see it in theatre. Believe me, the reaction of everyone around you and you can hear/feel the fear in the actors voices it's better than anything you can imagine. I went to see it with my school, we were all terrified, and there wasn't any special effects or loads of people, there were only two actors, a fog machine and some sound effects, and it was still better than any film I've ever seen.
@markblyn I meant the film is crap, in theatre (live on stage) it's so much better because it's more intense and has you at the edge of your seat the whole time
OMG! I remember seeing a really scary movie like this when I was very small.. I was trying to recall its name for years. Does this movie has a scene with the woman seen across a lake, and a horse driven carriage going to a mansion that was near a sea or a lake? Someone please tell me.. and what is the name of this movie, and when was it made?
@BWombat12 Yeah, totally agree. They should have kept her in a distant light, so she would appear more ghostly, inhuman. Getting her in a closeup just shows not a very well done makeup. Other than that, great Horror!
I've seen the production in London 3 times & i'm going for a 4th in a few months but yeah i've never been more scared & no film can ever compare or match it's terror. Utterly terrifying & it doesn;t help when i'm sitting in the front row & she practically stares down at me & then everyone in the audience scream LOL whoever hasn't seen it GO SEE IT as it's done so well
i saw this play yesterday, it didn't help that we did a workshop just before it started and they made me walk towards the door, knock three times and then scare the living daylights out of me when it flew open with no one behind it!
i read this recently and i think as a boy years ago to, im 27 now
borrowed it from brighon libary as the cover catched my eye.
very good book, great atmosphere but didnt know it was so popular and certainly didnt know there was a film. i wonder if i saw this as a kid too, maybe sitting in the dark with mum. i remember seeing a ghost of an old french woman in a cottage we were renting for our holiday in france as a kid, spooks me to this day
There is a short story that's just come out that is so scary, people are going crazy! Very few people can even finish it, even though it's only two pages long.
very scary!!!!! saw it on tv in 1989 and again last month. very well done and convincing and scares you every time you watch it !!! they should've released this in cinemas. scarier even than some of the hollywood horrors! The sad ending makes it even scarier. fuck the slasher horrors, it's these supernatural ones that make you tremble!!!
there was a movie sorta like this, an abusive mother loses her wealthy husband, and at the "party" after the funeral, she gets mad at her daughter, runs to the ocean killing herself. years later the daughter keeps seeing a woman in black, who she believes is her mother, does anyone know what i'm talking about
@OMGitsJustCeci You're absolutely right. the original story by Susan Hill is somewhat different. The film is still quite scary but the stage production is much better and the book is brilliant. It would be great if we could have a film remake of "The woman in black" that sticks to the storyline.
@LadyManners1 They're re-making the film version, with Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Kipps. I'm SO hoping that they stick to the plot and use a little more sublety than the origional film!
i remember watching this as a little kid. it scared the shit out of me. i had nightmares for so long. and could'nt sleep. just because of this one scene(which i cant seem to find), of her flying through the window, with that cliche horror violin song playing. with her old green greasy face, her screaming like mad.
I have seen the stage show twice, and I don't mind admitting that it is the scariest show I have ever seen, and far more scary than those stupid horror movies that so many people rave about (they never do anything for me). If you get to see the stage show you must go, trust me you will not regret it. It's on in London at the Fortune Theatre.
I saw this film as a teenager in the early 90s. I forgot most about it except.... the final scene. That creepiest scene has been with me always. My memory of that final scene was mixed with this one where her expression of hatred towards Kidd and her sickly pale dead look are so clear. This is one of my favourite ghost stories ever and I've seen and read many. To be real scared you need very little to none in the way of special effects. I HOPE they won't forget that in the theatrical version.
i agree that this isn't anywhere near the level of creepiness of the stage production - the whole hovering of the woman over the bed was actually sort of funny. sort of. :P but anywhere, not nearly bad enough to give me nightmares - i didn't sleep for months after seeing it, thank god for lava lamps. xD
As a kid we wern't allowed to swear in my house, but when I saw this in 89, I f***in swore like hell, its the scariest bastardist thing on the net especially when she's hovering above water...fuck
The reason why he ran away from her was because he explains later in the film to the older guy who invites him to dinner that she unleashed some kind of power towards him which consisted of hatred and fear which in result made him frightened and run away.
@1983alp i agree tell her he's gonna smash fuck outta of her all over the place don't care whose watching ...in front of her parents kids cctv up the path all day long ...OH PS that gay lad from harry potter will be shit ...
went to see this on tuesday with my school for our Gcse Drama, bloody hell, i shat myself , the rocking chair is horrible, it was so scary and it takes something amazing to scare me but i would definatly see it again
I just went to see the play with English last night and I thought it was bad, but OMG this is so mcuh scarier, especially the bed scene. Our whole class began screaming haha. I wish the rocking chair bit was in the film though, that bit scared me senseless
Best ghost story ITV ever put on. I was scared senseless by this scene and the more scarier one when he finds this same woman floating above his bed as he awakes !! Bear in mind this is over 20 years old now
I am NOT watching this in the theatre cos every1 says it's much scarier than this which is WAY scary enough for me! esp the Bed Horror scene - aaargh! The ending is just as bad and this scene is a little taster for the horror to come. Yes, I wonder what she wants to do to him?... Necrophilia? ! LOL!
This is no where near as creepy as the stage production, i saw the play once - couldnt sleep for 3 days. after that i LOOKED like the woman in black XD
@arrex05 i know exactly what you mean i had nightmares for a good month. i was fine during but when i got home i was so creeped out :P but that just means that it's a fantastic play
@arrex05 lol i agree compleetly if ur going to watch it watch the play ever since i saw it in Londen iv been trying to find it inproduction in holland becuse it was just so good
@arrex05 if you liked the woman in black, i tell you a show you wouyld love, its called ghost stories, i saw it last week, and let me tell you, i fucking shat my pants, its ten times as scary than the woman in black lol
@arrex05 I found the movie scarier. In the theatre i was too aware i was sat in an audience watching actors on a stage. Watching the movie. i was in a pitch black room with only myself as company.
yeah me too i bet it would have been even scarier :) jeez it was scary when she was walking closer to him in this scene anyway :( pauline moran is an amazing actress :D xx
I would love to see the play, I wonder if it's going to tour in Northern Ireland or if a trip to London is in order? I missed it a few years back at halloween because it was billed as suspense rather than horror & now I'm hearing it is the scariest play ever to be put on stage, so desperate to see it!
who's that ho in the grave yard club lookin all hot in the club yo. gettin down low in the grave yard shake that thing chace the man through the club yo yo.
I saw the West End play last night... Watching the film again wouldn't frighten me at all now... Apparently the book is even scarier than the play :S Anyone read it?
......another scene which was very simple but effectivl frightening was when the old woman was rocking violently back and forth on a rocking chair over and over again it was rather disturbing...wow ive only just discovered there is a movie version of this
...... in the above scene the stage back drop was competley and the woman with her back turned and hood up (in black of course was) cameoflaged against it so the audience could not see her, all of a sudden she turned her head to the side and you could see a creppy white profile against the bakdrop and all the audience gave a little gasp.
i saw the west end play many years ago and i still remember being scared in my bed that night. There was clever use of a torch making creepy shadows on the stage, sudden frights such as a loud blood curdling scream when the moment a character touched the doorknob he had been procrastinating over opening.
The new one is so much more scarier

I have seen the stage show twice, and I don't mind admitting that it is the scariest show I have ever seen, and far more scary than those stupid horror movies that so many people rave about (they never do anything for me). If you get to see the stage show you must go, trust me you will not regret it. It's on in London at the Fortune Theatre.

I saw this film as a teenager in the early 90s. I forgot most about it except.... the final scene. That creepiest scene has been with me always. My memory of that final scene was mixed with this one where her expression of hatred towards Kidd and her sickly pale dead look are so clear. This is one of my favourite ghost stories ever and I've seen and read many. To be real scared you need very little to none in the way of special effects. I HOPE they won't forget that in the theatrical version.

Not as scary as the book. But there's a remake due for release in 2011.

There is going to be another movie of THE WOMAN IN BLACK and Daniel Radcliffe will be in !!!! i think he will play the young lawyer!!!

i agree that this isn't anywhere near the level of creepiness of the stage production - the whole hovering of the woman over the bed was actually sort of funny. sort of. :P but anywhere, not nearly bad enough to give me nightmares - i didn't sleep for months after seeing it, thank god for lava lamps. xD

The reason why he ran away from her was because he explains later in the film to the older guy who invites him to dinner that she unleashed some kind of power towards him which consisted of hatred and fear which in result made him frightened and run away.
yethboth 1 year ago
I don't know why he runs away.
He should just walk right up to her face and tell her to get lost.

Best ghost story ITV ever put on. I was scared senseless by this scene and the more scarier one when he finds this same woman floating above his bed as he awakes !! Bear in mind this is over 20 years old now
lndac02 2 years ago 2
I am NOT watching this in the theatre cos every1 says it's much scarier than this which is WAY scary enough for me! esp the Bed Horror scene - aaargh! The ending is just as bad and this scene is a little taster for the horror to come. Yes, I wonder what she wants to do to him?... Necrophilia? ! LOL!

@arrex05 I found the movie scarier. In the theatre i was too aware i was sat in an audience watching actors on a stage. Watching the movie. i was in a pitch black room with only myself as company.

I would love to see the play, I wonder if it's going to tour in Northern Ireland or if a trip to London is in order? I missed it a few years back at halloween because it was billed as suspense rather than horror & now I'm hearing it is the scariest play ever to be put on stage, so desperate to see it!

Berriiblue 2 years ago
...... in the above scene the stage back drop was competley and the woman with her back turned and hood up (in black of course was) cameoflaged against it so the audience could not see her, all of a sudden she turned her head to the side and you could see a creppy white profile against the bakdrop and all the audience gave a little gasp.

This is pretty damn scary!!
I would love to see the play version of this!
For anyone who has seen this play live, could you let me know what you think makes a good horror play scary? What do you think it is?
Loud sound effects, creepy images etc.?
summerandsmoke 2 years ago
It's an outstanding play, i highly recommend it.
I've been to see it 3 times now and every time i've been scared silly.
Yeah, loud effects, creepy immages, great suspense and story plot.
It's very clever.
The Fortune Theatre is a great place that's been showing it for 20 years now i think. It also tours around places.
I hope that was useful :) x

shmoogle14 2 years ago
i saw the west end play many years ago and i still remember being scared in my bed that night. There was clever use of a torch making creepy shadows on the stage, sudden frights such as a loud blood curdling scream when the moment a character touched the doorknob he had been procrastinating over opening.
Berriiblue 2 years ago
The play is AMAZING
The theatre is really small so no matter where you sit you have a great view
This also makes it a lot creepier because the woman walks around the audotorium so she walks past you if you are in an aisle seat
It is SO scary, I mean people screaming out loud and popcorn flying everywhere scary!!
Go and see it, it's awesome :P
