The Woman in Black is very rich in style, with it's muted colour palettes, misty landscapes and bluewash moonlight scenarios, it's very much a modern day through back to the style of the Hammer horror movies from the 1950's - I'm pretty sure those deer antler chandlers were a nod to the old horror films where they were compulsory in every creepy house on a hill.

As you would expect being a horror movie the film is dark, beautifully dark…

Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant’s chemistry is truly amazing! 

A great mystery as well, one to keep you on the edge.

"You sort of sack people?
*cough*
-It's not personal.
-[chewing and mumbling] It's probably personal to them...and their families."

"Is that your wanking hand?"

"It don't look like house of a major villain, does it?"

"Your arsehole's gone mate."

Why use sleeping pills when you can just use chloroform instead?
