New Trailer for 'The Woman in Black'

Occurs to me this is much like 'Don't be Afraid of the Dark', but that film seemed so theatrical -- everything, all the characters, were kept at a distance. Sequences played kind of sterile, kinda 'play-acty', and a little predictable. 'The Woman in Black' is coming off storybookish but real, within that scope at least. That is, Daniel Radcliffe's character seems like someone we can care about whereas, in Afraid/Dark, the characters seemed like a put-on. And yes, it's not like they've reinvented the wheel -- the bits from 'Woman/Black' are predictable as well, but they seem fresh and play edgy, but not too intense for kids. 'Woman/Black' also seems like more fun, while 'Afraid/Dark' played a little stiff. As such, people may warm to this product more than the other.

This new edit is nice, with several seconds new footage.
