NYT Anatomy of a Scene: 'The Woman in Black'

I'm liking this movie more and more. It's got exactly the right pace and tone. Not a fan of the editing, though. Seems a bit clipped, there's not a lot of throughline visually. That's especially true in this sequence. Nonetheless, I'm there. Getting good reviews, looks like fun.



Manohla Dargis' write-up just went up. Here's a bit:

Something wicked does come, of course, slowly and at times with unsettling effectiveness.

and

Schooled in the art of the quiet boo, Mr. Watkins fills the film with squeaking doors and floorboards, pools of black, long silences and an assortment of moldering toys. Less gore is more here, and what a relief.

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.

Why I Like Movies

The way this trailer plays, the way I feel watching, is the reason I like to watch movies.

If the movie delivers what the trailer promises it'll be a hit. (The first for CBS Films?)
