this movie's been mentioned, and now that I've finally seen it I can affirm that it deserves it's own thread.
If you haven't seen it, do whatever you can to get a copy in your hands. Lie, cheat, steal, fake your death, whatever. Damn is this a scary ass movie. It's the scariest movie I've ever seen. The Blair Witch Project taught me that I can be scared by what I don't see. Well this movie taught me that I can be scared out of my mind by what I see ONCE. Man oh man, I can't even explain the vibe this movie has. It's awesome.
The direction is so tight. It makes you think The Woman in Black is everywhere even when you can't see her. You end up expecting her to show up in places where she doesn't, then she shows up in the last place you expect, only you don't see it coming because you can't even expect the unexpected while watching this. It's absurdly frightening. I felt like I was the one being haunted.
If you like The Changleing (which I feel is a bit overrated, with an overblown climax), you'll dig right into this. The atmosphere is great, the setting is brilliant, the story is tight and mysterious, the resolution inevitable, and the movie's just fucking scary. No doubt. If you're a gorehound you won't dig it... but if you want a scare-your-ass-off type of movie, rent or buy this, turn the lights out, turn the volume up, and invite your significant other to spend the night before watching. You'll want to be near somebody when it's all said and done.
Arrow, dawg, I KNOW you can find this somewhere if I can. I live in San Antonio for heaven's sake. You've gotta review this.
