How The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death scares
It opens slow, easing you into a wartime evacuation setting full of quiet unease before the ghost story kicks into gear with more frequent scares in the back half. The pace leans on foggy hallways, flickering lights, and a creeping sense that something is watching, punctuated by sudden jumps rather than nonstop dread. There's little blood here; the fear comes from atmosphere and a sad, eerie presence rather than physical harm. It's a solid pick if you want an old-fashioned, gothic ghost scare without walking away feeling shaken for days.
