The Woman in Black (2012)
Classy yet predictable.
The only grievance I had with it was that there wasn't much lines for Daniel.In this film you can see the value of good lines-from an absence of them. Being a Harry Potter fan but also a fan of Daniel, I tried very hard not to see Harry when I watched the film and you can see the effort Daniel put into doing the same although casting him as a young father was a bit of a stretch. I can't see any fault with Daniel's contribution with the film and I hope he continues to make solid classy films. On the other hand,for some reason it seemed like a short film.There were no interconnected plot lines or surprise ending.Although,yes I was genuinely scared, something was missing from it. I'm sorry to put it bluntly but the effects were laughable..The one scary scene did not make me roll off my bed in fright.It was like ripping off a plaster.Short and a bit surprising but left no lasting impression It's frustrating because there was a lot of potential for some very scary scenes in this film.
Hannibal Rising (2007)
I'll give it a 50/50
Despite Gaspard Ulliel being very pretty to look at, he just doesn't strike me as Hannibal Lecter. Anthony Hopkins is the ideal Lecter but I'm damned sure there were other actors from which to choose for this role. Nevertheless,he was cast and he made damn well of it. Gong Li. I'm not familiar with her but her face remained so frozen. NO expression sometimes. The visuals are striking but nothing we haven't seen before.yes this film provides plenty of macabre for the blood-lusty viewers. at some point we forget that this is the story of Hannibal lecter. the cannibalistic psychologist who saw to Clarice starling and will graham. there's a precise something that fails to link this film with the others before it.
