I’m contemplating whether I’m brave enough to go and see The Woman in Black which opens in cinemas across the UK this weekend.
I remember reading the book with all the lights on, and when we worked next to the Fortune Theatre in Covent Garden, we regularly heard the terrified audience screams during the matinees (I kid you not).
The idea of this scary story on film is a whole different ball game, especially as it is directed by our very own James Watkins who excels at making movies guaranteed to keep you sleepless for weeks afterwards. Eden Lake and The Descent being prime examples, and not for those of you, like me, who are lily-livered weaklings when it comes to suspense and all things frightening.
From what I have heard, and looking at the trailer with the sound turned down, he has done a brilliant job with The Woman in Black. 
UA also has Shaun Dooley in the cast as Daniel Radcliffe’s landlord Mr Fisher, and Jeremy Woodhead doing the wonderful period make-up and hair design.
Have a look at the trailer HERE and go and see it if you dare!
