Before I get into what I did not like about this movie, let me tell you what I liked about thr first one; good leas character, good villain, no generic horrror cliches. This movie did not have any of that. All the characfers were flat, the villain, while being the same villain from he original, is terrible, and it has so many stupoid cliches it is not worth watching.… Expand

Meh, not worth the price.
They could have gone a different route here, but I'm not a movie producer or director.
Mildly upsetting the way the scenes played out, but in the end, a few jump scares and not much else. Horror movies should makeMeh, not worth the price.

Horror movies should make you fear something, get scared of an idea or a possibility of something. This was more like a B-level horror movie and probably should have been VOD or straight to DVD.
In summary, see the original again or see Insidious again - those are great horror movies. This one falls flat at around the 3rd or 4th act. Nothing to see here, move along.… Expand

The setting and style is all there, but with very poor lighting, little actual scares and a bland story, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is a sequel that should have never been.

I've seen worst! the film has under developed characters (which is not a good thing for a horror flick), the film's purposes is reacting upon jump scares. The only thing good about this film Director Tom Harper's Gothic vision. I get it the actor's try but Jon Croker's script shows minimum details in the film than the other one. It's scary and unoriginal. Phoebe FOX is a good heroine for the film it's just there is nothing she can do with the script in the way. The film is unlike able and i wanted the children to die in the film! Grade D-… Expand

The fact that this movie came out in the very beginning of January and now I'm reviewing it, well I tried to escape from January but it followed me...help me.

The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death takes place 40 years after the initialThe fact that this movie came out in the very beginning of January and now I'm reviewing it, well I tried to escape from January but it followed me...help me.

The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death takes place 40 years after the initial haunting of the Eel Marsh House - when WWII threatens, a group of children finds themselves evacuated from London and placed in the house where it doesn't take long for the sinister presence to awaken once more.

To the people who don't know, I actually liked the first movie..a lot. The fact that the first film had jump scares in it, it still had some creepy and chilling scenes and I remember those more than the jump scares because it was more effective. Now we got the squeal and what a surprise it's got more jump scars and no more of that creepy atmosphere that made the first film watchable, wow horror directors these days have forgotten how to direct horror films.

Now let's start of with positive things in this movie and yes these actually some good things in the movie, would you believe that: The movie is shot really good as well and the acting in the movie isn't all that bad as I thought. Phoebe Fox did a good performance in this movie, she actually tried in this movie not like some actors or actress out there in these type of horror films that don't give a damn about they movie or they role.

Now for the bad..get ready: I am just sick and tried of jump scares, I mean they not scary it's just a loud nose that makes us jump because we didn't except it and that's not scary at all. Most of the time it's false jump scares them the freaking kids and after a while the jump scares deflate any attention to the film. F**k Jump Scares.

The lighting in the movie was hard to see at times, it was like Alien Vs. Predator Requiem were through out the film I couldn't see **** and the Women in Black 2 is the same.

Overall Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death has some positive things in it with the acting and some of the shots, but the rest completely sucked. There was no need for a squeal, it's just a cash grab squeal that will be forgotten and for good reasons.… Expand

Needless to say, I did not enjoy this enormously unnecessary and almost wasted sequel, beyond its production values, (I can not help admiring those landscapes because I love them) The Woman In Black 2: Angel of Death is all what a sequel shouldn't be, honestly just stay away.… Expand

This film is the sequel to another, which was a success and which, in turn, was the remake of a TV movie of the 80's. This time, the house of the swamp is occupied by a group of children from London , in the middle of World War II, in order to protect themselves from the German bombings. They are accompanied by a small group of adults where Eve fits, a young woman with a mysterious past who soon realizes the horror that inhabits that house. It is up to her to protect the children from the dark entity that wants them dead.

Personally, I find this film considerably weaker than the first. The script is very simple and underdeveloped. We never really feel the danger of war, and all the action separates from the context of the time, only managing to take advantage of the environment, the scenarios. The war was only a pretext to fill the haunted house of children, coming from nothing, easy prey of the murderous creature that lives there. The characters were also thought of in the worst way. Too cliché, we have an aviator traumatized and frustrated with himself, a loving young woman who is pursued by a complicated past and a skeptical elderly, who only believes in supernatural phenomena when they literally jump in front of her face. The scares are basic, the film fails to create a tense and disturbing environment.

Technically, the film clearly displays its low budget: all scenarios are basic, with the main house being emptied of all the decadent and exquisite scenery of the first film. Cinematography is overly dark and this makes the film very boring. There are some details of the film that, too, I misunderstood, such as the emptying of the neighboring village to the marsh house. Did they all die? Was it the creature that killed them? Are they gone? What happened?

This movie is bad and can not scare you. It's not a movie that I believe you can see more than once.… Expand
