Directed by James Watkins. Written by Jane Goldman, based on the novel of the same name by Susan Hill. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer and Liz White.
Plot: a young lawyer travels to a remote village where he discovers a vengeful ghost.
Arthur’s wife dies during childbirth, but the son is saved. Four years later, Arthur has to leave his son and travel to a remote village in order to save his job as a lawyer. He needs to investigate the paperwork of a woman who just recently died, but the locals aren’t being so nice to him. Well, except for Sam (Hinds) and his wife, Elizabeth (McTeer).
As Arthur goes through the paperwork though, he finds that Alice, the woman who died, adopted her sister Jennet’s (White) son and Jennet was none too pleased about it. And of course, Arthur’s been seeing Jennet, he just doesn’t know it’s Jennet. Mostly because she’s dead.
It’s a creepy little ghost story with a sad, but sort of satisfying ending. It’s a bit slow in parts, but there were some good scares along the way. There was a creepy atmosphere, likable protagonists and a good cast. Overall a pretty decent watch from where we were sitting.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
