I watched it in school ages ago, and for months after I was too frightened to go into a room with the light off. It took me years before I wasn't feeling scared of the woman appearing. You're not alone!
"Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and wrong because sometime in your life you will have been all of these."
This is where I have to ask whether or not you mean the film or the stage production?
Because the film did make me jump, yet my goodness did the theater production make me scream...
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.
I'm not normally scared by horrors, but the woman in black, did give me a few chills n make me jump at least once, It must be pretty scary for normal people to watch.
The chills might have been because I was sat in a draft ;)
The play didn't scare me while I was watching it. AfterwardsI did have trouble sleeping or being alone for a rather long time - terrifying!
I haven't seen the film :(
I watched the film at the cinema and loved it, I love horror and parts of it were jumpy/scary. I read the book after but was disappointed by it, as someone else already said, it was a bit boring.
Now I really want to see it on the stage, as I hear its supposed to be even scarier, but unfortunatly I can't afford a trip to London any time soon :( lol
oh my, anyone who can should go see it on stage, it is one of my favourite shows ever, i didnt like the film becuse i felt they didnt handle it very well and changed some major parts
but please anyone who possibly can must see the show ive seen it several times and would still go again
I really liked the book, loved the stage production, and was a bit meh about the film since it changes details but it's still good. The rocking chair bit in the theatre almost made me (and everyone else) wet themselves, especially when the bloody woman starts screaming! The part with the child at Eel Marsh House in the film freaked me out.
I don't think you're a wuss for finding it scary, different people find different things scary, some people might find ghost story films more scary than gory horror films etc etc, it's just based on what that person finds scary.
I found it to be a "jumpy" film, not exactly scary per say but did make me jump a few times. I actually quite like being scared by a horror film, the adrenaline rush is kind of nice, I'm a bit of a horror film addict though :P
My best friend and I watched it a couple of weeks ago and it scared me a bit. It made us both jump a few times and one part made me scream, so you definitely aren't alone!
We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken
