A movie like this is all about the actor's chemistry. The film point out the worst of it two leads. Denzel is regurgitating the same old "bad dude with a moral streak" from Training Day and Ryan Reynolds is doing a hybrid of "hero man" from Green Lantern and the clumsy guy from his comedies.
Much like it two other incarnation, THe Woman In Black is a little gem.
Like all gothic horror movies it has strong emotion at its core and frights all around. i will not give away anything but it has at least four shout out scares and the ending is dazzling and very satisfying.
