New Trailer and Movie Poster arrive for ‘The Woman in Black’

I’ve been looking forward to seeing grown up Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliff) in the creepily stylish new film The Woman in Black. The movie directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) will premiere its latest trailer at Spike TV’s Scream Awards and we have it for you to view here at DTB.

Add to that the creepy animated movie poster they just released and its should spark up enough interest to see the film. With its US release date of February 3rd 2012, the film should allow us to see Radcliffe in a role that he is well suited for as he tries to make the often hard jump from kid star to adult fame. The film also stars Ciaran Hinds, Liz White and Janet McTeer. Here is the premise:

Young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) leaves his son in London to settle the legal affairs of the recently deceased Alice Drablow. He discovers that a series of inexplicable accidents and suicides have forced the parents of her village to barricade their children indoors, as if protecting them from an unseen foe. When Arthur stays the night all alone at the Drablow’s foreboding house, he hears the screams of a drowning child and sees decaying children listlessly wandering the marshes. He will soon discover these haunting figures share the same date of death, and the same killer.

The ghost of a scorned woman, who was unable to save her beloved son Nathaniel from drowning, The Woman In Black, takes on a horrifying form. Set on vengeance, her veil hides gaping sockets eaten away by scavengers and her curse hides an even darker secret – whenever she is seen, a child dies. In the face of hostility from the local residents, Arthur dredges up Nathaniel’s skeleton and buries it with his mother, hoping the evil spectre will finally rest in peace. In a cruel twist of fate, the Woman In Black turns her claws towards Arthur’s young son. To avoid a fate worse than death, Arthur must now sacrifice everything he holds dear and save his child.
