The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death
1 December 2019
This loose sequel is set 40 years after the original film. Eve Parkins (Phoebe Fox) a schoolteacher, her young students and the headmistress Jean Hogg (Helen McCrory) are evacuated from London during the Blitz.

They are sent to isolated Eel Marsh House, where the events of the first film took place. One lad Edward who has been mute since his parents were killed in the bombing is cruelly bullied by several children. One of them ends up being dead, the boy being drawn out of the house by the vengeful woman in black.

Eve is protective of Edward and there is a dashing airman station nearby the mansion.

It is a spooky gothic film with a funeral theme. The trouble is I could not see a thing. The budget must have been so low, the cinematographer could not even buy a wind up torch to light the film. A large portion of the film seems to consist of a dark screen.
