Daniel Radcliffe takes off those perfectly round Harry Potter glasses and stars in the new "scary" movie, The Woman In Black. Up front, false advertising. We're not going to spend a great deal of time on this.
Truth is, if you are looking for a good snooze, in fact one of the best snoozes you've probably had in weeks go to this movie. Many people would be thrilled to throw down eighth bucks for a couple hours of shut-eye. This is without question one of the more boring movies I have ever seen. If you want to watch Radcliffe walk around in the dark a lot, chasing after strange noises he hears in this haunted old house. Then you will be in heaven.
This is the story of a young lawyer (Radcliffe) in the early 2oth century in England. His wife has recently died, and his job is on he line. He is sent out of town to settle the estate of a strange old woman who lived in some kind of spooky house. Once there, children in the small town start getting killed off, and this "woman in black" seems to be at the center of it all. There is a feeble attempt to tell you why, and a few other things, but it doesn't make any difference. You may be deepm in REM sleep by then.
This movie has no real story, or meaningful plot. Borderline horrible effects, underused music, and performances so underwhelming it teeters on a high school production. Plus, it's not suspenseful, or scary. And the ending may actually make you mad. This is a complete disaster all the way around.
The Woman In Black. Loser!
