Set in 1940’s London during the war, the story is told about a of group young children orphans under care are having to seek refuge along with their carer Eve Parkins (Phoebe Fox) and the Head Mistress Jean Hogg (Helen McCrory) in Eel MarshSet in 1940’s London during the war, the story is told about a of group young children orphans under care are having to seek refuge along with their carer Eve Parkins (Phoebe Fox) and the Head Mistress Jean Hogg (Helen McCrory) in Eel Marsh house which is tired and worn but holds a dark secret.
For many of the children their parents are now no longer able to take care of them due to other duties during the war, one of the child’s parents were both killed in an evening of air raids this was boy is called Edward (Oaklee Pendergast) after losing his mum and dad he hasn’t been able to speak to anyone, so he finds it easier to draw and write if he needs to communicate.

The plot of the film is very good and you warm to the main characters throughout, it has lots of jumpy scares and also a love story plus it has the scare factor, the camera work is also very good by keeping it dark and grainy which means you are trying to see and focus with whats going on screen and then something pops out at you to make you jump which is very good and its a Hammer Horror film so you know they are very good at doing that with their past work.

The film will play on your mind for hours afterwards, second guessing what you just saw in your room while your at home, so don’t turn out the lights at night as you wont be able to sleep.
The audience enjoyed the film with lots of screams and jumping off seats, it is totally a different take to the theatre version of Woman in Black but there is still elements to remember the greatness that a live performance on stage can do and make you scared, bumps in the night and rocking chairs still at the heart of the film.

Looking forward to buy the movie to watch at home in the dark, but I may go and watch it again before it goes and I suggest you do also.
