Reputed to be one of the most frightening ghost stories ever written, Susan Hill’s 1983 novel “The Woman in Black” must certainly count as one of the sturdiest: It has been adapted both for British radio and U.K. television, while the 22-year-long run of its London stage version makes that property one of the longest-lived nonmusicals in West End history.
As penned for the big screen by Jane Goldman, directed by James Watkins and with Daniel Radcliffe headlining as barrister Arthur Kipps, the latest iteration of “The Woman in Black” aims for a classic horror feel.
