Summary: When a friendless old widow dies in the seaside town of Crythin, a young solicitor is sent by his firm to settle the estate. The lawyer finds the townspeople reluctant to talk about or go near the woman's dreary home and no one will explain or even acknowledge the menacing woman in black he keeps seeing. Ignoring the towns-people's cryptic warnings, he goes to the house where he discovers its horrible history and becomes ensnared in its even more horrible legacy. (imdb)

Two of the best, most shocking, "jump" scenes I've ever laid eyes on. So amazingly shot, framed and paced. The tension builds and builds and builds, right up until the climax. And what an ending?! I hate to imagine the saccarine little bow that an American remake would wrap it up with. Please, never remake this.

It takes its time and is all the better for it. Contemporary horror mostly force cheap scares, often using shock tactics based on sudden loud noises as a crutch. This relies on an eerie atmosphere and a creepy story and it has some very memorable scenes. The ending was disappointing. It felt slobby. Especially, I suspect, because the rest of the film is so well crafted.

Soooo creepy. Just when you think something predictable is going to happen, they really make you wait for it. I'm not a horror fan, but this movie is definitely something to watch.
