The supernatural terror returns and unspeakable evil sets its sight on new prey when a group of orphaned children are forced to move into the abandoned Eel Marsh House with their caretakers, Eve and Jean. As the children begin to mysteriously disappear, Eve makes a shocking discovery... it may not be a coincidence that she has come to reside in a place inhabited by the murderous Woman in Black. (Entertainment One)

I was expecting more scares and a heavier atmosphere to be honest. I only twitched twice, which is really very little for a commercial horror film, the only things I can praise are the dark visuals and the decent interiors of the dilapidated mansion, but still better than the commercial crap of last year. 55%.

Unfortunately, the film suffers from the problem of sequels, where the creators attempt the same thing, just with slightly different characters. But in the end, they realize that it's always something different, and something is missing from it. This is basically a Japanese horror movie in an English setting, where it's just playing on the fact that some of the scenes are "really scary", but really they're just something you see all the time in horror movies and it's all a bit boring.
