THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH (2014)

Though not as good as its predecessor - missing Daniel Radcliffe, the wonderfully gothic Edwardian setting, and quite the same level of creepiness - this serviceable sequel from the iconic Hammer house of horror films (still a thrill, just seeing the logo at the beginning of the credits!) also doesn't deserve the heaps of abuse it's gotten.  Set over 40 years after the first, the basic plot concerns two female teachers during WWII London - one middle-aged and all business, the other younger and with her own dark past - who bring a group of children to Eel Marsh House, when London becomes unsafe due to the Nazi bombings.  One of the kids, Edward, has just lost both his parents, the traumatized boy reawakening and attracting the titular spirit, who seems to want him for her own.  Spookiness, death, secrets, and a surprisingly good number of real jump scares make this film B-movie fun that isn't wholly original, but is more than worth seeing! (rated PG-13)  B-
