Any indication of the quality of The Woman In Black would be the fact it is adapted from a very good play, not that it stars Daniel fucking Radcliffe in a role he's five to ten years to young for.

Typically whenever Hollywood touches anything, regardless of the quality of the source material, they manage to ruin it somehow. I used to think that was pessimistic, but now it's just accurate. Again, I can't say for sure how good it is as I haven't seen it, and it's impossible to judge a movie by it's trailer these days.

Yes, they did. One of them gave me a single disc containing all three PA movies on. I watched through all three without so much as a wince.

Then chances are you'll coast through Woman in Black without much provocation. I think Victorian horrors have loads of potential to be truly terrifying, especially if you incorporate the seedy dichotomy of manner and perversion that defined those times. Unfortunately, often the story amounts to little more than just "generic horror movie that happens to take place in Victorian times".
