movie review

I went to the movies over the weekend and saw the woman in black. I really wanted to see it for 2 reasons number 1 because it,s dan radciffes first movie after the end of the harry potter series and 2 because it,s the return of hammer horror. Hammer was a movie company back in the late 50s to late 70s that put out alot of classic horror movies. This is very much a old school haunted house/ghost story and this is a scary movie not a horror movie. It has alot of boo scares but has some decent real scares as well. This is the perfect movie for hammer to make a comeback with. Like i said it does feel old fashioned but it,s still a scary movie for today. At one point during the movie for 5 or 10 mins it,s scare after scare and todays movie fans expect that kind of thing to happen and thats the kind of thing hammer will have to do to make it in todays world of movies. This in my mind at least was dan radciffes make it or break it movie. He had to show everyone he could play other roles and parts besides harry potter and this role was as far from harry potter as he could get. I think this movie proves he has what it takes to be a real actor. I think he could grow up to be a good actor. If he keeps taking grown up roles that will challge him as a actor then i think he will become a good actor. Look at what happened to mark hamtil after the original star wars movies ended, his career went down hill and it seems like everyone else from those movies became big stars and he did,t. The same thing could have happened to dan radciffe, he could have gotten a few more movies because of harry potter then we likely never would have heard of him again. I want to say the movie is not as scary as it could have been. I say it,s still a good movie and give it 3 stars.
