In this post I wanna try to write blog in English (actually I do this for my assignment xixixi). All this time, I use this blog to write about a movie or a drama that I just watch, now I will write about my favourite horror movie, although this movie is not still a booming movie again, but I really love and even never bored when I watch this movie.Okay, let's check this out. . .

Based from the novel 'The Woman In Black' by Susan Hill

Synopsis :
This movie tell about Arthur Kipps (
Daniel Radcliffe),
a lawyer, and the widowed father of four-year-old Joseph in London. One day he charged by
his office to obtain the paperwork with which to sell a large manor –
the isolated and desolate Eel Marsh House. Though he is hesitant to
leave his son, Arthur's boss warns him that if he fails to complete his
duty, he will lose his job. Arthur is treated coldly upon his arrival,
barely able to get a room for the night, but he meets a kind local man
named Samuel Daily (Ciarán Hinds) and his wife Elisabeth (Janet McTeer),
who allow him to stay at their home. Arthur visits his legal contact,
Mr. Jerome, who hurries him off, telling him to return to London.
Instead, Arthur travels to Eel Marsh House, where he feels he will be
able to thoroughly complete his work. While there, he is distracted by
odd noises, screams, and the appearance of a woman dressed in black.
Believing there was an accident, Arthur reports the incident to the
police. Three children come into the police station; two boys carrying
their sickly pale sister, Victoria, who had just drunk lye.
She collapses in Arthur's arms and dies. The locals angrily state
Victoria died because Arthur saw "the woman" at Eel Marsh House.
That night, Sam reveals he and his wife lost their young son in a
drowning accident, and Elisabeth, who believes her son speaks through
her, carves a figure into the table of someone being hanged, before she
is sedated. The next day, Arthur stays overnight at Eel Marsh House to
finish his work, and discovers letters from Alice Drablow, the home's
recently-deceased owner, and her apparently mentally-disturbed sister
Jennet Humfrye (
Liz White).
Jennet claims Alice stole her son, Nathaniel, away from her by deeming
her mentally unfit to raise the child, and demands to let her see him.
The letters reveal that the boy drowned in the marsh and that Jennet
blamed Alice because she only saved herself instead of Nathaniel. Jennet
then committed suicide
at the house after stating she will never forgive Alice. Toys begin
making noise in Nathaniel's room, where Arthur sees the spirit of the
Woman in Black again.
When Arther returns to town, he sees Mr. Jerome's house on fire and
rushes in to save Lucy, Mr. Jerome's daughter. Under the influence of
the Woman in Black, Lucy sets fire to herself, making it impossible for
Arthur to save her.
Arthur learns that the children's deaths are the work of Jennet, who
is the Woman in Black; since her own child was taken from her, she takes
away every child from the townspeople by causing the children to commit
suicide. Whenever Jennet is seen, a child dies. Elisabeth indicates
that Joseph, who is coming to the village with his nanny the following
day, is a target for the Woman in Black. In an attempt to lift the
curse, Arthur hopes to reunite Nathaniel and Jennet and finds the boy's
body in the marsh, still in the horse carriage. They place Nathaniel's
corpse in Eel Marsh House, where Jennet finds him; it appears to Arthur
that she is satisfied. However, she is unable to hold her son,
presumably because she can't forgive Alice. Arthur and Sam then place
Jennet's son in the grave with her.
The next night, Joseph and Arthur are reunited at the train station
and intend to return to London. Arthur sees the Woman in Black on the
other side of the platform; Joseph is walking along the train tracks
under her influence. It becomes apparent that the curse will never be
lifted, and that Jennet will never forgive the wrongs done her. Arthur
leaps onto the tracks to save Joseph from an oncoming train. As Sam
looks on, horrified, he sees the Woman in Black and the faces of all the
children she has taken in the past in the train windows. Once the train
passes, Arthur opens his eyes, but the whole station is dark. As Arthur
looks around in surprise, Joseph asks, "Who's that lady?" Arthur sees
his wife and then smiles before responding, "That's your Mummy." The
family then disappears into the fog together. Jennet watches them sadly,
then looks at us, and the screen abruptly cuts to black.
The question is 'Why I really like this movie?'. Actually, this movie have many beautiful scene. From the background, place, house, until the artist's costume and, of course, this movie is a horror movie that have logic story that I ever see. The ghost, A woman In black (read : Jennet Humfrey spirit), always be everywhere. This movie success in make me afraid, beside the other horror movie, Dead Silence.
Let's have a look on my favourite scary scene of this film . . .
How is it? Is it enough scary for you? For me, YES! :D If you never watch this movie, I have some tips to give you when you watch this movie.
1. Don't watch it alone
2. When you watch it, look around Radcliffe's when he in the middle of scary scene, you will see that woman in black everywhere.
3. Save your heart before you watch it :)
