the first and only time i saw the woman in black be i think the only time to my knowledge it appear on tv back in 1989. it be christmas eve and my father and i be watch it in the living room shortly before we all go to a midnight service in the village church . i be quite young at the time but i be not sure who be more terrified walking through the church yard to the entrance of the church that night me or my father . there be many factor about this film that make it so creepy but i think 0ne of them be the fact that there not much in the way of a sound track that play in the background of nearly every hollywood movie and so every creak and thump and bang be more amplified in your head a there no distraction . another factor that make it different from other ghost story there no jump factor involve like thing bounce out the closet so it make it not necessarily what you see but what you hear and what you think be go on . this be a clever medium a nothing scar you more than your own mind run riot think whats around the corner or behind the door . a superb ghost story and i have never see anything that can match it and with all the dross thats repeat over and over on tv i cant believe the bbc have delete it after ( to my knowledge ) only one showing .
