"The Woman in Black" Review-ish

I've recently been out to see The Woman In Black with Nicole, you guys all know Nicole by now. =P

Well, the movie had a very nice story going.  It was very sweet, but extremely spooky at the same time.

At this time, Nicole would probably freak out at me and say something along the lines of, "HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?! YOU SPENT HALF OF THE MOVIE BEHIND A MAGAZINE!"

It's true...I did.  That was how scary it was...and as any good horror movie/book, I'm not going to be able to sleep for a week...I'm also flinching at everything, and I'm afraid of the dark...again.  Usually I really like the dark.  But every once in a while I get spooked and it doesn't leave me alone.  It makes sleeping a challenge, and I'm really freaked out by showers...I always get the feeling that something will pop up. 

I feel the shower thing needs a bit of explaining.  When I'm at home, the door to our shower is clear and I use the towels as a sort of curtain-ish thing.  I always get the feeling that someone is going to shift the towel aside and pop up suddenly with a really frightening look. @_@

I spook way too easily and shouldn't watch horror movies, but at the same time I like the stories...it doesn't work very well.  Anyway, back to the movie.

It isn't quite like some horror films where they just give you a mess of cheap scares and it scares you anyway.  It lines you up for many different kinds of scares.  Cheap scares, "HOLY OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT?!" scares, the "OH GOD...OH GOD WHAT IS THAT...WHAT. IS. THAT?!" scares, and last but not least the fake, where they set you up for what you think will be a cheap scare and nothing happens.  You know why nothing happens?  They're saving it all for later...

Honestly though, I did like this movie despite the fact that it scared me behind a magazine constantly.  I mean...that's what it was supposed to do right?  Plus, I won't be sleeping properly for a week, so it totally wins there.

I would totally recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror films and ghosts.

I hope you enjoyed this, although it was pretty side-tracked.

Until next time,
