Once a month, on Tuesday evenings, Mr Coldrick comes into our prep for a film society night. This particular Tuesday (15th November) we watched 'The Woman in Black'. This is a horror film set in 1889, about a young lawyer (Arthur Rawlins) who goes to the town of Crythin Gifford to attend the funeral of a woman Alice Drablow and to retrieve some legal documents from her house. However while there he begins to feel a sense of unease, as people are reluctant to talk about Alice - the woman in black of the title, who he later starts to see everywhere.
He slowly uncovers the true origins and intentions of the woman in black and her frightening purpose. The plot really brought together the string of events very well making for some shocking revelations and clever narrative twists as Arthur investigates the tales surrounding the woman in black, as well as Alice Drablow's house.
I think that the whole of TY really enjoyed this film as it was really scary and entertaining and was the main topic of conversation for everyone at hot drink afterwards! There has been a play version of this 1980's classic running in London and there is supposed to be an adaptation of the film coming out in 2012 starring Daniel Radcliffe who is better known as Harry Potter to many of us. So I'm sure everyone who was a fan of this film will go to watch it! So if you do sit down to watch this film (which I would recommend) then prepare to get some serious goosebumps!
