1. Ok, so when Arthur's friend, I think his name is SamDaily (He's the older guy, he's kind of fat, and he's the one who gives him help and lets him use his car to pull the body out, and he's rich, and he doesn't believe in The Woman...) well, when his wife takes Arthur to the grave, when she gets kind of possessed, I don't know if it was just her lines, but shes said "Shhee--shee-- she does it, she makes us do it", does that mean that the parents are somehow directly involved with their children's death? I mean that would kind of make sense, cause at the end, Arthur, wasn't paying attention to his child and that's when the kid wandered off.
2. Is Arthur trying to kill himself at the beginning, cause he had a knife up to his throat? The thing is, I'm wondering why he got so sad at this time...I mean the boy looked like he was 5, and his wife died directly after giving birth, so wouldn't you think he'd have gotten over it by now?
3. So, why was Arthur so desperate for a job....was his company shutting down or soemthing?
4. Did Arthur's friend's (Sam) child lock his dad in that room, at the end to keep his dad safe?
5. Everyone says that The Woman in Black killed Arthur and his baby because she was grateful that he gave her child a proper burial. Was that what Arthur wanted? Did he basically want to be dead so he and the kid could be with his wife?
6. Of all the kids who died, were they all connected/related in some way? Cause the way it was shown, it just somehow felt like they were all connected.
7. So what happened with the Woman in Black. All I could understand was that the woman had a baby out of wedlock, and her sister took away the baby. The woman in black got angry and would never forgive or forget. The sister and the child got in an accident, and the sister saved herself and not the kid? So the woman in black killed herself? Im really confused? I mean i partly get it, but then I dont....
8. Why is the cast so small? I mean there are only about 10 "main" people.......then probably about 30 more minor people/extras....I would think that a non-independant film with Daniel Radcliffe would have more "known" people, and more people in the movie. I'm sorry, im only 14 and i dont know a lot about BBC/UK Films and their stars, so if they are more well known, Im sorry if I accidentally called them unknowns....
Additional Details
9. Why does everyone consider this a scary movie.....I mean I think the "idea" of The Woman in Black is scarier then the movie. I dont really think the movie was toooo scary. It was more of a thriller/mystery.
10. They started it out by saying that whoever sees the woman in black and looks at a child, then that child will die. But they kind of never went on with that, even though Arthur saw PLENTY more kids....but nobody else ever died after he saw them? So im a little confused. (Its at that part where that little girl dies and one of the townspeople asks Arthur if he saw the little girl when she died, and he said yes, then they started blaming him.
11.I know its based on a book/and a play.......but is The Woman in Black some kind of myth? Cause my friend told me that she went to England or Dublin (I cant remember which), but she said she overheard a conversation and this child was misbehaving, and the mother said, "if you dont behave, the woman in black is coming for you." So is this like a myth/talltale/folkelore in the UK?
12. I'm pretty sure its NOT a independant film, but was the film low budget or something? Because it didnt have that many people, and it didn't have many locations, and it just....idk, it was different
13. Also- in the trailers, I know they dont always have everything in the trailers in the movie, BUT in the trailer they had one of those monkey thinks that crashed the symbols together, but in the movie they just sat still, did anyone notice that/was dissapointed?
14. Is that woman in black rhyme from the trailers a real nursery rhyme thingy?
15. Did they ever say that woman in black trailer/ad nursery rhyme thing in the movie? It kinda starts like: "Every morning in the marsh, theres a tremble in the air, but its far worse"...something like that.
16. Did u find the movie real scary?
17. What was ur favorite part?
18. Did you make any Harry Potter allusions while watching it? In my theatre, someone yelled USE LUMOS.....It was hilarious! And when he was at the train station, I was like: "he's thinking, this isn't platform 9 3/4!"
19. Do you think this is the type of movie you have to see again to fully understand?
20. Do you think there will be deleted scenes in the dvd release?
21. Can we expect a Woman in black 2?
22. Why do you think this movie wasnt rated R?

Some Edge of your Seat, Action Movies (please read the details)?

B&A
Honestly, I don't want to be compared to Dan Brown. I didn't very much like his work, but it seems as if everyone else loved it. So I really have no other way to phrase this question.
How do I write intricate, "plausible" conspiracy thrillers like Dan Brown?
I'm good at making puzzles(after all, my prefered genre is mystery), and I know quite a bit about history, which I can twist around to create theories. How do I use this knowledge to create a novel? I mean, where do I start and are there any essentials I should know about?
Any advice? Thank you!
What are some horror/thriller/mystery movies that are mind f*cking?
You know the ones that play around with your mind and you don't get the movie till the very end,Thank you!
What is a good book by an award winning author?
Looking for a thriller (not a mystery) or humour or something. Author must have won an award.
Why do people always confuse psychological thrilles with horror films?
I'm sick of this because there is a difference,the psychological thriller includes elements of mystery and drama and deals with the personal problems of the character and it's not necessary to have blood and random killing,while the horror films are stupid they are just killing and torture.I hate it when people confuse psychological thrillers with horrors.I mean i get it when you hear psychological thriller or psycho thriller you're saying there will be a lot of blood.I personally have never been scared from a horror film
