A much bolder, braver horror sequel than most. Except for a wispy ending, it’s a match for the first. Read full review

This inevitably doesn’t have the charge of the first story, but it is still interestingly weird and dreamlike, and quite disturbing. A commercially driven sequel, sure – but still effective. Read full review

Flawed but genuinely creepy ghost story The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is disappointing, but only because it comes close to greatness. Read full review

The Woman in Black 2 might have served as an effective tribute to movies like "Curse of the Cat People." That is, if it hadn't completely squandered all this goodwill in its last third. Read full review

Any tension created during its key moments completely evaporates once the lights come back on. The Woman may be back for another fright, but Angel of Death doesn't haunt like it should. Read full review

There will be those for whom Angel of Death provides precisely what they are after, but a couple of brief flashes of quality aren't capable of making the film anything close to creepy enough. Read full review

What’s missing from The Woman in Black 2, and what it needs most and has least of all, is suspense. Read full review

For many of the children their parents are now no longer able to take care of them due to other duties during the war, one of the child’s parents were both killed in an evening of air raids this was boy is called Edward (Oaklee Pendergast) after losing his mum and dad he hasn’t been able to speak to anyone, so he finds it easier to draw and write if he needs to communicate.

The plot of the film is very good and you warm to the main characters throughout, it has lots of jumpy scares and also a love story plus it has the scare factor, the camera work is also very good by keeping it dark and grainy which means you are trying to see and focus with whats going on screen and then something pops out at you to make you jump which is very good and its a Hammer Horror film so you know they are very good at doing that with their past work.

The film will play on your mind for hours afterwards, second guessing what you just saw in your room while your at home, so don’t turn out the lights at night as you wont be able to sleep.
The audience enjoyed the film with lots of screams and jumping off seats, it is totally a different take to the theatre version of Woman in Black but there is still elements to remember the greatness that a live performance on stage can do and make you scared, bumps in the night and rocking chairs still at the heart of the film.

Looking forward to buy the movie to watch at home in the dark, but I may go and watch it again before it goes and I suggest you do also.

It's an okay sequel that falls flat on providing us with more horror we loved in the first place. Woman In Black 2 is well acted and shot. The acting is deep, and emphazing on the half baked plot of the film. Such talent, wasted.

The acting is deep, and emphazing on the half baked plot of the film. Such talent, wasted. The camera angles are brilliant, you don't know where she is hiding, so it's a pee in your pants jumpscare. But the unique ideas are also half baked- the story elements are weak, and broken. Overall, it's an entertaning movie that could have been WAY better and a worthy sequel. But still give it a one time watch, it's not full turd.… Expand
