Young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Daniel 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 Drablows' 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 Woman in Black is the ghost of a scorned woman who was unable to
save Nathaniel, her beloved son, from drowning. She now 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.
