At the movies

Last night we went to see The Woman in Black, but since it was bookworm Wednesday I left the review for today.

Mostly I wanted to see the movie because I love Daniel Radcliffe and I love scary movies.

Radcliffe was lovely, and I only momentarily thought of him as Harry Potter, mostly when he was on a train, and a little when there were portraits up the staircase.  However scary..  this movie was not.  It was rather slow, which could be fine for the creep factor, I don't always need blood and guts.  However it didn't build on anything.  One of the first things that happens when he gets to the house, is that he sees the woman in black.  I mean really, once you see people it is hard to believe that he would stay at the house.  He is alarmingly calm in the face of all that is going on.  It was just really hard to believe.  (and I understand that I am saying a ghost story is unbelievable, but it goes beyond the belief in any supernatural phenomenon.)

I wouldn't say don't go.  The lady behind me in the theatre seemed generally scared, though I guess I would suggest not being as jaded and desensitized as I am
