Angel of Death stars Phoebe Fox, Jeremy Irvine, Helen McCrory, Adrian Rawlins, Leanne Best, and Ned Dennehy.
Evacuated from London during World War II, a party of eight schoolchildren, led by headmistress Jean Hogg and young teacher Eve Parkins, arrive in the near-deserted rural village of Crythin Gifford. Their destination is the now-dilapidated Eel Marsh House, on an island isolated from the mainland by Nine Lives Causeway. As they seek sanctuary from the horrors of wartime, their presence soon stirs a malevolent force that has haunted this imposing, cut-off building for decades. As children once more play in the grounds, out of the darkness comes the vengeful spirit, The Woman In Black.
Newcomer Phoebe Fox is a self-admitted scaredy-cat. “I scare easily,” she says. “The first time I saw [on stage] The Woman In Black as a 16 year-old, I had to hold someone’s hand!” Bravely, she watched the 2012 film for preparation. “I got about half way through and I said to my brother-in-law, ‘I don’t think I need to see the rest! I’ve got an idea of what it’s like. I don’t want to see the end.’ And he said, ‘No, we have to watch it for closure!’ So we watched the whole thing. And then one of my friends thought it was funny to send me a DVD of Paranormal Activity, through the post – addressed to The Woman In Black!”
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is rated 14A.
