From the outset of it's release it was inevitable that it would rise up box office charts faster than the Firebolt what with I'm Daniel-Don't-Call-Me-Harry-Potter-I'm-A-Versatile-Actor- Radcliffe starring in it.
However it must be said that the adaptation is a well directed solid piece of cinematic horror. yes of course it's inevitable that every time there was a close up of Harry, Sorry I mean Daniel's character- Arthur Kipps- that a little voice in the back of your head roughly states
"You're a wizarrrrd 'Arry"
But asides from that It's easy to imagine Radcliffe as Kipps and the film sure as hell gives you pow per pound with some heart stopping moments and the eponymous character is the stuff of nightmares.
The cinematography is spot on and the horror atmosphere is reinforced by an impressive score!
The ultmiate litmus test of any horror movie of course is making that one girl in the cinema scream out loud and rest assured that was achieved on multiple occasions during my viewing!
Overall It's glad to see Hammer back to doing what it does best, scaring the Bejeeesus out of the audience.
