Arthur (Daniel Radcliffe) heads off to the arse-end of nowhere
to spend time amongst the crazy country folk while he sorts through a dead
woman’s documents. Despite everybody being massively weird towards him and the
fact he definitely saw a ghost and heard creepy noises, he decides to stay in
this big haunted house overnight. The woman who haunts it is grieving the death
of her child and whenever anyone sees her, she kills a child in the village.
I’m not sure how she was getting the children to kill
themselves? Whenever we saw her with them she just sort of looms in the
background. But then, she’s a ghost hellbent on revenge, she’ll no doubt have her ways.
Another thing I wasn’t sure about was, how could the boy be so well-preserved
in the marsh? But I’ve since googled it and apparently the marsh would act as a
natural embalming agent, so. That’s cleared that up for me. Another thing! Why
would the people have stayed in the village when so many children keep dying
because of the ghost woman? They all knew what the deal was, why didn’t they
just move away? Don’t get it.
Daniel Radcliffe’s acting wasn’t all that great, he seemed
pretty vacant for the majority of the film. But then, I never liked him as
Harry Potter either so maybe he’s just always this way. The story was alright
and I was pretty scared, but screaming dead people will do that to you.
