It has been a busy couple of months for the Tom Harper-directed haunter THE WOMAN IN BLACK: ANGEL OF DEATH as it was recently picked up for distribution rights before landing a release date that will see the sequel hit theaters on January 30, 2015. On this chilly October day we now have a new teaser trailer for the film that builds some uneasy tension thanks to an old-timey tune playing in the background. Take a peek at that below and see what you think. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the first film, starring Daniel Radcliffe, I'm intrigued by the premise and I think adding new characters to the mix rather than trying to work Radcliffe's character back into it could open this one up quite a bit. Time will tell, folks.
In the sequel:
As bombs rain down on London during the Blitz of World War II, a group of school children are evacuated with Eve, their young and beautiful schoolteacher, to the safety of the English countryside. Taken to an old and empty estate, cut-off by a causeway from the mainland, they are left at Eel Marsh House. One by one the children begin acting strangely and Eve, with the help of local military commander Harry, discovers that the group has awoken a dark force even more terrifying and evil than the city’s air raids. Eve must now confront her own demons to save the children and survive the Woman in Black.
THE WOMAN IN BLACK: ANGEL OF DEATH stars Jeremy Irvine, Helen McCrory, Adrian Rawlins and Oaklee Pendergast.
