The Woman in Black is a 2012 British-American supernatural period horror film directed by James Watkins and written by Jane Goldman.

Produced by Hammer Film Productions, the film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Ciarán Hinds, Janet McTeer, Sophie Stuckey, and Liz White.
The film was released in the United States and Canada on 3 February 2012 to generally positive reviews, and was released in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2012.
A sequel entitled Angel of Death was released on 2 January 2015, without the involvement of Radcliffe.
In an English village, Crythin Gifford, in 1889, three young girls are having a tea party. They suddenly look up at something off-screen and, as though hypnotized, jump to their deaths from the bedroom window.
In Edwardian era London, the wife of lawyer Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) dies in childbirth. Kipps is instructed to visit Crythin Gifford to orchestrate the sale of Eel Marsh House, an estate on the marshland, and retrieve any relevant documents left by the deceased owner Alice Drablow. Upon arrival, Arthur finds many of the villagers rather unwelcoming, though he finds sympathy in a wealthy local landowner Samuel Daily (Ciarán Hinds).
