The Woman in Black / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: In the novel, the kids dying was just something the townsfolk of Crythin Gifford had to live with; in the film, it becomes a subplot. Nathaniel's corpse is also recovered and properly buried; and no attempt is made to exorcise either spectre. In the film, Arthur witnesses Nathaniel drag himself out of the bog and try to regain the house, which gives him the idea to attempt to reunite the ghosts.

The Woman in Black / int_2e8875f0	type	Misplaced Retribution
The Woman in Black / int_2e8875f0	comment	Misplaced Retribution: Despite the Woman in Black holding her sister as one of those responsible for taking her son away from her, leaving him to die in the marsh and never bothering to recover the body, she apparently allowed her to die of old age with zero comeuppance on her part. Of course, letting her suffer all those years with the crippling guilt of being responsible for the death of the subsequent children might have been her goal. It's debatable whether the Woman in Black really never took revenge on her sister. In her papers, Alice left many scrawled messages such as "She will haunt me to the grave" and "God protects me": one has to wonder if death would not have been preferable to living her whole life playing peek-a-boo with her sister's crazy ghost.

He's lying, of course; by the end of the first day, Kipps has a large and unsorted pile of papers on the table in the house, and he continues to discover more as he proceeds in his investigation.

The Woman in Black / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Arthur and his son die, but they're reunited with his wife and seemingly happy to be together. Also, unlike the rest of the children the Woman has taken, they're free to move on to the afterlife. However the Bittersweet Ending is Bitter enough to veer into Downer Ending territory — Arthur and Joseph are dead, after all, and the Woman in Black will continue to torment the village. The Downer Ending is far worse for Sam, who, despite helping Arthur in trying to appease the Woman in Black, is rewarded for all his efforts by witnessing his friend die along with his son, knowing that the Woman is still going to torment the village and prevent his son from being able to move on to the afterlife.

Though it might have earned him the result in Even Evil Has Standards. On the other hand, it also may have made Jennet even angrier. It's implied by the end of the film that Jennet may have been an emotionally disturbed woman in life, and therefore actually an unfit mother. What with the scrawled messages and the madness mantra and all.

Arthur even invokes this towards Sam when he calls him out for not warning him to stay away from the house, especially after learning that he had a son of his own. Sam defends this by pointing out that he simply didn't want to believe the stories and preferred to believe that his son was in the afterlife, rather than lost as a thrall to the Woman in Black.

Arthur's reaction says it all, though he does try to keep the children calm. When Sam travels to the house with Arthur, he finds himself locked inside a room by the ghost of his dead son. When he looks through the nearby window, he sees the horrific face of one of the ghosts staring back at him, and promptly yells for Arthur to open the door. At the end, Arthur notices the Woman standing on the opposite platform at the train station, and realises with horror that she's still out for blood. He then sees his own child walking on the tracks toward an oncoming train. He jumps off the platform and rushes to save his son's life, but they are both unfortunately killed by the train.

The Woman in Black / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: Arthur manages to reunite Jennet with the body of her son, which seems to put her to rest, and thus saves the life of his son, right? Nope, she still can't forgive what was done to her, so she appears to Arthur's son, which leads to both his and Arthur's deaths.

The Woman in Black / int_c5835f29	comment	Ghostly Goals: The titular ghost exists to cause the children of the nearby town to kill themselves. Arthur believes that she's doing this because she wants to be reunited with her son, and he risks his life to accomplish this. Nathaniel has the type A goal of being buried properly, judging from the way he re-enacts his demise and manifests as a mud-soaked zombie.

The Woman in Black / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Woman in Black / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Several scenes, to Harry Potter: The afterlife scene being in a train station. At the beginning when Arthur falls asleep on the train, he is leaning against the window looking at his reflection... how many times have we seen that shot in the Harry Potter films? This sort of seemed like a shout out to Harry Potter's epilogue — in the very beginning of the movie, Daniel Radcliffe is leaning down and reassuring his son and easing his worries. It was startlingly similar to an adult Harry Potter comforting Albus Severus. The movie ends with a parent dying to save his son, much like the events that triggered the Harry Potter story. The upstairs landing of Eelmarsh House has the same pattern on the floor as the hotel carpet in The Shining.
