I watched it this evening and saw the Danial Radcliff version in the theater this afternoon. Both are excellent, both are scary. The new movies obviously has much better production values. And does tell basically the same story.<br /><br />The new film is not a disaster like the Liam Neison version of the Haunting from a couple of years ago. Both the old and new are great Ghost stories well told.<br /> frank CalidonnaFrank Calidonnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-82285750372381089422012-02-01T00:43:54.189+00:002012-02-01T00:43:54.189+00:00The backstory of the 1989 TV movie is changed some...The backstory of the 1989 TV movie is changed somewhat from the book and the play, and you need to pay pretty close attention to find out what those changes are. Suffice to say that the main difference is to do with how The Woman In Black perished, and it's a pretty successful explanation of the difference in her appearance.<br /><br />Having experienced the TV, play and book version of the story, I have to say that the TV version is a successful adaptation, and it certainly gave me jolts in all the right places!bluepillnationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034896270917574622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-30250677402933359402012-01-25T22:21:39.314+00:002012-01-25T22:21:39.314+00:00I think women in black is going to be the best sca...I think women in black is going to be the best scary movie ever.i love daniel radcliffe.i own a website<b><a href="http://danradcliffe.webatu.com" rel="nofollow"> danradcliffe fansite</a></b> and a blog of him <a href="http://thedanielradcliffe.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Daniel Radcliffe fansite</a>danfansgrouphttp://thedanielradcliffe.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-69871787305327753232012-01-13T00:28:31.269+00:002012-01-13T00:28:31.269+00:00I think the best time have watched it was that Chr...I think the best time have watched it was that Christmas Eve in 1989. But both times I've watched it, it's not quite grabbed me. Whereas THE STONE TAPE impressed me on many levels. There are 'moments' but there should be many more, and I'm hoping the new movie seizes the opportunities, though I agree it certainly shouldn't be overblown.<br />Also, it's a shame that this version can't be more widely seen, considering the potential interest generated by the play and the movie.Mark Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744056312268440003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-76456101329921183172012-01-12T19:06:09.523+00:002012-01-12T19:06:09.523+00:00Got a counter-opinion for you-

I love the period feel and the slow moving nature of the story - I felt it really helped sell the authenticity of the surrounds and the history. It felt like a ghost story as told by Merchant Ivory, to me. I am really not looking forward to the remake because I fear that everything will be overblown... I can easily see "The SCENE" being ruined by a CGI stretchy-faced ghost FX, for instance. YMMV!TreverThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652943318376670283noreply@blogger.com
