10 Terrifying Horror Films That Will Haunt Your 2015

3. The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death

Release date: 1 January On paper a sequel to Hammer's highly successful (if somewhat controversial) adaptation of Susan Hill's classic ghost story The Woman In Black seems like a phenomenally bad idea. Well, in the business sense not so much, because the first film had such a huge audience that they could slap the name on any old tripe and it'd clean up at the box office. In theory, though, continuing what's such a singular and personal story just doesn't appear to make a whole lot of sense. Throw in the fact that Daniel Radcliffe won't be returning to star €“ for reasons that are obvious if you've seen the first film €“ and that it's an original screenplay, and it seems like a recipe for disaster. But the synopsis sounds genuinely interesting (the haunted mansion of Eel Marsh is used as a refuge for young evacuees during the Blitz, skipping forward a few years from the first film), it's being directed Peaky Blinders' Tom Harper, and the trailers look bloody terrifying.
