It’s a story about a young lawyer and widower named Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) trying to solve a deep dark mystery. He travels to a village to investigate several children’s deaths by unknown causes. When he realizes his son may be the next one to be killed, he has to solve the mystery.

Throughout the movie the viewer sees Arthur Kipps’ life through his eyes as he thinks back to his happily married life.

He is haunted by ghosts of the previous owners who once lived and died in his house. Old toys left behind in the house give him clues to how each person will die in each scene.

“The Woman in Black” made $20 million on opening weekend and grossed a total of $53 million at the box office, over a $17 million budge
