Watched the woman in black yesterday first time and didnt know anything about the movie. Pretty laid back haunted atmosphere through the film but then that bed scene came and damn it scared me. i screamed like a little girl. Someone said here that it was little too long and I agree. By the way when Kidd helds Tooveys dog in the pub they look like Tintin and Milo.

I watched this film the other day at night with earphones on knowing nothing about it..it was brilliant, they dont make em like this anymore.. I gotta admit that scene was pretty unnerving..
shareAs I said in another thread. This scene terrified me when I saw it as a kid. But seeing it recently, it didn't seem like such a big deal. I had remembered her face looking a lot older and ghastly looking, but it looked relatively normal. I also had remembered the woman letting out an ear splitting scream , but it was little more then a subdued shriek. I guess it's just one of those things where certain key scenes of a movie are not at all what you remembered, several years later.
shareI remember it being a lot scarier when i was a kid, heh
But, the nursery scene was the most chilling, as was the bit when she appears behind him in the graveyard at the house.
Well,....YES!
I've seen a lot of horror movies and I love the "creepy" ones - without much blood, cutting throats, torturing and stuff. It's boring and it can make you sick.
BUT, this scene made me cover my eyes for the first time in my life! When I was a child, my granny used to do that for me :))
(I must see it again though :D)...

I haven't seen the remake. Is it in there?
This scene really scared me. But it's not as scary as the one where he's watching her stare at him over the field and then advance slowly, step by step, toward the house. THAT scared me no end.

It was for me the first time I saw it as I knew nothing about it. Not so much second time around....still a great film
shareThe reason I feel this scene fails is because it is too long. If we had been given only a second or two of seeing her, then it would have been much more effective. I would have edited it differently.
