The Woman In Black 2: Angel Of Death is a profoundly frightening, relentlessly spooky film that wears how old-fashioned and traditional it is as a badge of honour.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 25, 2019

You might be startled once or twice while watching Angel of Death, but the thrills are cheap tricks.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 19, 2019

Though well acted and shot, and set in an interesting period, the story itself seems slight and predictable - or even unbelievable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2019

The lazy, ineptness of the screenplay doesn't help matters, and writer Jon Croker seems keener on ticking every box in a notional 'How To Make A Horror Film' manual than creating enduring characters or a truly riveting storyline.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2019

There is nothing daringly compelling or overtly curious about the titular character nor the Eel Marsh House that the Women In Black roams around in with so-called ghastly intimidation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 10, 2018

Overall we found this film a worthwhile sequel to the previous film. Although the over use of 'fake' scares seemed distracting at times and became repetitive; taking away from the gripping storyline.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Still retains the original's reliance on jump scares but is a much more involving story that at least manages to keep you activated throughout its run time.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Unfortunately, The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death has nothing in common with its predecessor as far as quality goes

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 2, 2017

Filmed in virtually non-stop darkness, this sequel lacks any tension-producing shivers or fright.

| Original Score: D | Nov 28, 2017

Overall, the movie doesn't rewrite the book of shock (despite the jump scares), but what you get is a fast-paced scare flick with an ending that could have been creepier.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2017

Angel of Death took that solid foundation and wasted it with unoriginal, lazy storytelling and a drab visual sensibility.

| Sep 20, 2016

A seriously underwhelming sequel...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 11, 2016

Not as gripping as the original -- but it works for what it is.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 28, 2016

Offering nothing new in the way of shocks and suspense and relying on tired horror tropes, this is a tiresome slog rather than a chilling sequel. A disappointing follow-up to the far superior original.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 22, 2016

Tom Harper does a truly admirable job of using atmosphere and the movie's creepy setting to give audiences a sense of unease, but moves away from the deadly force we were introduced to in 2012, which feels like a bit of a step backwards.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 7, 2016

Much of the horror boils down to heavily underscored jump scares that are neither particularly frightening nor, like the movie as a whole, memorable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 18, 2015

Not as strong as the first outing, but it still works as a classy and refined example of how to revisit the "vintage" horror vibe.

| Aug 23, 2015

When things go bump, director Tom Harper duly makes us jump on cue, but the patchy script ensures the scares don't have quite the same impact as before.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 2, 2015

Mostly jolt-horror. Racks up scores of scare-miles by simply skimming here and there, rather than really rattling skeletons in history's closet or plunging head-first into chilly psychological depths.

| May 25, 2015

This is a ghost story that is short on both ghost and story.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 20, 2015
