One of my favorite horror films, The Woman in Black, was released in the US February 3, 2012. It stars Daniel Radcliffe as a lawyer in London in the early 1900s. He is sent to a large, abandoned, spooky manor in a remote village where a woman in black has been seen. Whenever she is spotted, a child dies. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Susan Hill, published in 1983.
I liked it mainly because of its lack of gore and the suspense and intrigue without the violence. I also liked seeing Radcliffe in a non-Harry Potter role. The incredibly versatile actor Ciaran Hinds appears in a supporting role.
The movie earned $20M in its opening weekend. It made almost $128M world-wide and is the biggest British horror movie in 20 years. What was the biggest one before it?
