Have you seen both versions ......?
yes I enjoyed them both but preferred reading the book to either of them for 'atmosphere' .

Re: Woman in Black
I echo what Oldbugger just said i too didnt know or seen a previous version .I thought the latest version was really good , first time i watched it was on a girls night at my daughters house ,and while we watched it very late at night creepy things happened ,like her floor boards were creaking at appropriate moments , but the most odd and scary thing that happened was a old woman who lived opposite started watching us from her bedroom window ,she stood for an age at the window.We were sitting in the dark watching this film on DVD.After it had finished the 6 ladies who watched it then walked home in darkness no street lights with a woodland on oneside .

Mmmm maybe I should have watched in atmospheric conditions although the first one had my attention without that, just a matter of taste of course .....

Re: Woman in Black
I was given the "Woman in Black" DVD last Christmas and really enjoyed it. It was interesting to see Daniel Radcliffe in something other than Harry PotterI had nothing to compare it with though, didn't know there was an earlier film and I hadn't read the book.
