Woman in Black (spoiler)

Hi guys,

After yesterday's news DH and I decided to see Woman in Black.  It concerned a young widower lawyer, played by Daniel Radcliffe, who is called up to a barren wilderness on the north east coast to arrange the paperwork for a house sale after the owner died.  The locals firmly discourage him from going there, and he ignores them.  Once there he encounters sinister paranormal activity and a strange figure in black.  Throughout his stay several local children die in horrific circumstances.  It transpires that this situation is not new, and practically every local family has suffered.  These events have usually occurred after somebody has been near the house and has seen the woman in black.  As the lawyer files the paperwork at the house, he finds out that a young boy drowned in the mud, whilst with his 'mother'. His body was never recovered.  It turns out that his 'mother ' was not his mum, but his aunt who removed him from his real mother's care after she was considered unfit, and he was brought up not knowing the truth.  His real mum saw the accident when the coach he and her sister were travelling in overturned.  According to her, the boy could have been saved but her sister was too selfish to save him.  The distraught mother hung herself in the nursery and haunted it ever since, and reeked a terrible revenge by taking local children.  The lawyer knows his son and nanny are coming to see him, and quickly jumps into the mud to retrieve the corpse of the boy and reunite it with that of the mother, in an attempt to save his own son, who is at risk as his dad saw the ghost.  In the end, at the train station, the ghost distracts the lawyer and nanny and the son jumps onto the train tracks and the lawyer jumps to save him, both are killed and are reunited with his dead wife.
This film fascinates me as it shows a clear depiction of a mad childless woman (typical!), but also a selfish parent, as the lawyer only 'helped' the ghost to save his own son, not to help her.
