O que se diz lá fora sobre THE WOMAN IN BLACK, de James Watkins:



«Not since young Hutter arrived at Orlok's castle in NOSFERATU has a journey to a dreaded house been more fearsome than the one in THE WOMAN IN BLACK.»
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.

«Helmer James Watkins (EDEN LAKE) and scripter Jane Goldman judiciously combine moves from the classic scare-'em-ups with new tricks from recent J-horror pictures to retell Susan Hill's oft-adapted Victorian gothic pastiche.»
Leslie Felperin, Variety.

«Less gore is more here, and what a relief. THE WOMAN IN BLACK isn't especially scary, but it keeps you on edge, and without the usual vivisectionist imagery»
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.

«An old-fashioned, tastefully constrained supernatural thriller, THE WOMAN IN BLACK embraces the elements of gothic horror movies with pleasing seriousness.»
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly.

«The pleasures of the period ghost story THE WOMAN IN BLACK are something like the creepy shiver of delight you get from Edward Gorey's illustrated poem "The Gashlycrumb Tinies."»
Stephanie Zacharek, Movieline.
