the woman in black ( 1989 ) be a tv adaptation of susan hill modern classic ghost story and publish only a few year earlier than the film be make . sadly and this film have not be release on dvd and and as far a i be aware it have be delete on vhs . it availability be in direct contrast to it popularity amongst those in the know about horror film . the story revolve around event in a seaside community in the early 20th century where a young solicitor be send by his firm to conclude the affair of a recently decease widow and who die on her isolated marshland estate . what he think would be a routine and probably tedious task turn into a nightmare a he discover that the old woman be haunt to her death and and that the ghost of her past be not content to rest . the story be tell in a subtle but concise way and never be self indulgent and flashy or over expositional . the obviously tight budget may have contribute to the no nonsense approach and but it just what the story need and and why it work so well . it what you do not see that scare . have say that and there be one particularly terrify scene that rely on the visual and and it work to perfection . i watch this film during the day and and it still give me nightmares nearly a week later . if you love be terrify and do what you must to get hold of and watch a copy of the woman in black .
