The Woman in Black

   So I took my Mum out for an early Birthday treat to see 'The Woman in Black".Having already seen the stage version which left me forgetting how to talk at a normal frequency after the amount of screaming and screeching I   underwent, I believed that the film would not live up to the 'scariness' of the play.
 

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh"

   "Was it scary?" "It wasn't scary it was more sort of jumpy..." Get Out! If you weren't scared by this film then you are probably an android from the planet Zog.
   But I must admit, what made me scream the most was the ticket prices at the Vue. (It's flipping extortionate.)
   And it has been speculated that Dan Rad can still not break free from the stereotype of the Harry Potter franchise. I chose the picture to the left because the woman in the window has a striking resemblance to Lord Voldermort. If they had changed the scream to a "Nyeeeeeeeeeeh" I would have been convinced.
   To be honest, it SHOULD NOT have been rated a 12A-there were young children coughing up blood! (In the film I mean, not the audience.)
   The ending was good and different to the play. Mum didn't seem to understand what happened, she didn't even seem phased by it all but she enjoyed it nonetheless.
   Go see it if you haven't already.It's really well made. I suppose this is a kind of review thing Ellen was on about in the previous blog but I'd have wrote this anyway! I'm anticipating something by her on that Hotel thing for OAPs in the near future.
