Incredibly drab and monotonous, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death falls flat, hardly delivering any scares. When a group of children are sent to the Eel Marsh House during the London bombings of World War II the vengeful spirit of Jennet Humpfrye is awakened once again. The acting is rather poor, as is the writing. The characters aren’t that interesting, and there’s no real suspense or mystery. The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is an underwhelming and generic horror film that fails to recapture the terror of the original.
Nice start but then boring and totally forgettable movie.
Actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Certainly wasn't as good as the first one (which wasn't all THAT incredible to begin with) but it had a few good scenes that I enjoyed.
It's just merely boring at least for the first 35 minutes..
Horrible second part... Nothing to do with the first awesome film but the same mannor and witch.
It appears that the script is written without watching the first part. Better to see something better because this sequel is clearly done to make benefits.

There are some effective creepy moments at times and the film is competently acted and directed, with some atmospheric cinematography and a story from the original creator. Yet the original film was effectively a closed story with nowhere to go and the film can do very little except repeat elements from the first film. So we have the initial tragic event to set the scene for the protagonist, the journey to the haunted house that is drenched in atmosphere, the central heroine discovering elements of the backstory that audiences are already aware of and slight variations on scenes to create those jump moments that were so effective in the original. The film is heavily reliant on sudden bursts of volume to shock, though there are one or two scenes that work as well as the first did visually, but generally the film obeys the laws of diminishing returns on horror sequels. Not as bad as it could have been, but still largely unnecessary.
