The Woman in Black
Harry Potter himself stars in James Watkins' (Eden Lake) remake of the classic British chiller
The Woman in Black.
The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in the client’s isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true intent.
Despite its cult status, The Woman in Black was never released on DVD in the UK. There was an R1 DVD in the U.S but it is out of print, with originals now changing hands for over $200 a copy. The Woman in Black is based on a
book by Susan hill.
Besides Daniel Radcliff, the remake also stars Ciaran Hinds, Liz White, Janet McTeer and Alisa Khazanova and has an October 28 release date set in the UK.
