I went to see this last night, having read the book and seen a theatre adaption or two I was skeptical of what they would have done to it... But I can say it was actually really well done, there was a couple of moments where it was obvious something was going to happen...

But the use of music, and the way they scared the audience was great, it was very jumpy, but the whole film was creepy, the location of the house was amazing, and very creepy indeed!

Its only a 12A, but I felt my heart rate rising during some scenes, quite nervy!

Decent I thought! And Harry Potter wasn't bad either, they mananged to hide the fact he's actually 5ft6 well!

I never even knew there was a new version out!

For those interested here is the link to the full 1989 film, which really scared me as a kid due to its haunting atmosphere as well as the face of the lady that played the woman in black.

Was the stage adaptation any good mate? I know they do a play in London - I haven't ever had the chance to go and see it though.

Thank you for the link! I remember watching this in '89 and also being scared, but forgot what it was called, and have been trying to remember the title ever since!

Have seen it twice - once in London - once on tour - both excellent viewing. Highly recommend a watch if you can. Very eerie and well put together.

Agree.

And if you want a modern version with all the benefits of modern cinema, mostly the sound qaulity and immersion it gives you, then get to see it!

Ok thanks very much for the insight on the theatre production guys.
I will plan to see the theatre show at some point this year!
