(http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt1596365/parentalguide?ref_=tt_stry_pg), it has similar themes in the classification as ours, no nude or sexual scnes, smoking or drugs but plently of shocking and intense scenes. The film is set like ours, in a timeless place with an unclear setting, this alows the audience more control over where they invisage the narrative taking place and stops the product from narowing down the audience to a singular country, making it far more accesable world-wide. The Woman In Black shares the central theme of vunerable children and the adult charachters given a sense of duty to protect them. It was produced by many big companies which would explain that for an unmainstream genre, it was highly succesfull gross of $54,322,273. It also starred well-known actors, such as Daniel Radclife who played Harry Potter in the highly succesfull Harry Potter series. Films adapted from novels are often very succesful, because they generally have a very strong narrative which is essential to any succesful film, Susan Hill is also an already famous author and The Woman in Black has already been running as a succesful theatre production for over thirty years now.
Here is an example of an audiences review;
''I went in to seeing this movie after reading the book, and personally I thought it was great. Horror movies these days get loss in blood and gore and that's what the work thinks is "horror" these days, thankfully this movie took a turn to what horror actually is. There are plenty of scenes that make you jump and keep you on the edge of your seat and the storyline is great too. The only weird thing was there were just a couple scenes in which I just couldn't help but think of Harry potter but that didn't even come close to ruining it for me. I was nervous because I thought they Showed all the scary moments through the previews but they did not! Daniel Radcliffe did a great job and I would go see it again with out a doubt. We need to see more horror movies like this one!''
