The Woman in Black, the 2012 version not the 1980′s one, was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I shouldn’t have expected anything else with the horrible commercials advertising it, though I couldn’t find the video of the one I always saw (the audience reaction one which was basically just short clips from the movie that told you nothing and long scenes of people screaming in a movie theater and interview of them saying how scary it was) though the trailers I could find actually made it seem like a really good and scary movie. The scares were tacky and cheap, mostly going for more of a startle than an actual scare. The .gif above was inspired by these cheap scares which is basically the only scare they ever tried, the woman screaming at Harry Po-… I mean Arthur who was the main character. The story was under developed or at least not very well portrayed in this rendition, I haven’t seen the original so I can’t say that the story was bad in the 80′s version.The gif was actually quite an intimidating task for me, luckily my ever so handy boyfriend blogs all the time and makes gifs so he showed me how to do it. I think it captures the essence of the movie quite well. I think this movie could be a really creepy thing if it were actually happening to me but it was not a horror movie at all.
