Although it plays like a best-of, this might be my favorite one-sheet for Hammer Films’ THE WOMAN IN BLACK remolding. You’ll see what I mean below, this one mixes and matches imagery from posters and stills we’ve seen in the past, and weave them into one creepily fractious new look.
Upon us February 3rd:
The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in the client’s isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true intent.
Daniel Radcliffe, Shaun Dooley, Cathy Sara, Mary Stockley, Roger Allam, Liz White, Lucy May Barker, Tim McMullan, Alisa Khazanova, Daniel Cerqueira, David Burke and Victor McGuire all appear in the film.
