Review of The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2014) by David S — 16 Jan 2015
It deserves top marks for its production design, cinematography, and casting but everywhere else is a mess. The movie's number one fault is its decidedly low set of scares and the ones that do exist are wasted with poor timing and a blatant lack of atmospheric tension.
Primarily, the movie is boring and unfocused. We are given too many overly long scenes of exposition that we don't need and Jeremy Irvine's tragic backstory/romantic subplot is forced upon us over and over again.
His total removal would hugely benefit the film altogether. If you are expecting a scary movie on-par (or even sub-par) with the original, you will be disappointed.
