The Woman in Black - The Story
The Woman in Black was originally a horror novel by English author Susan Hill and was published in 1983. It was adapted into a stage play and has had a very long and successful run in London's West End. See The Woman in Black Stage Play. The film is based on the book, not the play.
The Woman in Black is a gothic-style ghost story. The main character is Arthur Kipps, a young solicitor who has to attend the funeral of an old lady. It's at the funeral that he first sees a woman in black. And much spookiness follows ...
Don't be expecting a happy ending to this one. If you don't already know the story then you may want to wait until after you've watched the movie to read the book, unless you always prefer to read the original novel before watching a movie adaptation.

Woman in Black Movie Rating
The Woman in Black has received a 12A rating in the UK and PG-13 in the US.
This is a psychological thriller and certainly scary. The ratings mean that this is a movie that can be watched by young teenagers if their parents feel it is suitable for them.
Teenagers are often fascinated by horror movies and this is much more subtle that a gory horror movie.
This will make a good first grown up horror movie for teens to watch.
