It is an old school ghost movie where the skills lie in showing less rather than more. The adaptation has been running in theatres for the past 23years and they are hoping the release of this film will bring new audiences. The 1989 televised adaptation or the stage play do not stay entirely faithful to the novel, neither does this film but it takes us on a journey to some dark places. This film is entirely right for our times.It is also said to be reminiscent of the 1970s Gothic horror films. This film feels less like a remake than a new reading of an old story. It’s a very character driven movie which focuses not only on frightening people but also on how different people deal with death. Daniel Radcliffe brings a sizable audience from his role as Harry Potter, which has made it the UK's most successful homegrown horror in decades. On the other hand some people are still undecided whether Daniel Radcliffe can sustain a rewarding acting career away from Hogwarts, which I think he has proved and done just that. Overall it is a well-rounded film which is well written with a great plot and excellent acting.
