Critic Reviews

  • Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
    The bottom line on The Woman in Black is that it is a very spooky movie. Old-fashioned and old school, it makes a convincing case for life after death and, for Radcliffe, life after Harry Potter.
  • Bruce Diones, New Yorker
    The moody, beautifully composed production raises it above the norm.
  • Rex Reed, New York Observer
    It takes quite a time before the pieces of a poisonous puzzle appear, and when they do, they don't always fall into place with clarity.
  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews
    The star's job description is that he be able to react convincingly to a variety of supernatural events and to endure being covered in mud. He has difficulty with neither.
  • Adam Graham, Detroit News
    The Woman in Black is your standard-issue ghost story, gussied up in period garb to make it look like a prestige picture.
  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
    None of it's new, but it's fun particularly because - like those Hammer films of yore - it peoples its great sets with solid actors.
  • Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
    A hoot of an old-fashioned British horror film in which being under 10 years old is not a good thing.
  • Rafer Guzman, Newsday
    A disappointing post-Potter debut from Radcliffe, barely breathing in this musty, creaky chiller.
  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
    Though Radcliffe occasionally seems too stiffly callow to be completely convincing in this grown-up role, the movie is a proficient thriller with a potential appeal beyond the star's fan-girl audience.
  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post
    A creaky haunted-house story that's strong on creepy atmosphere but woefully deficient in the scare department.
