Quickie Review: Posted birthday Cards From over The Edge
A rich childless couple adopts the wife's sister's son born out of wedlock. And they won't have anything more to do with her. But tragedy strikes a few years later when the adopted son is killed and lost in a drowning accident. Distraught over the fact that her own son was not given a proper burial, the sister kills herself. But she returns as the vengeful ghost whom the fearful locals call, "The Woman in Black," an evil ghost that will stop at nothing to kill every single child in town.
I don't think that the audience liked this movie that much.
I didn't like this movie at all. It's full of cheap seen-it-before scares, and the ending doesn't offer-up a satisfactory resolution. Wait for this to come out as a rental.
Here are the things that I found wrong in this movie: The vengeful ghost had all that time to kill the town's children one-by-one without her having to wait for the arrival of the young lawyer to act as some sort of "triggering conduit" to her malevolence. That dog was nowhere to be seen at the times that its presence was expected/anticipated--"scaredy-cat" mutt! The lawyer's act of appeasement was for naught. Why didn't "The Lady in White" ghost protect her own son and/or engaged "The Woman in Black" ghost in an Afterlife Catfight? This catfight, alone, would have been worth the price of the movie ticket. Ha, ha, ha. I could just see them now, ripping at each other's clothes. Heck, yeah! At the end, you would think that he would have been in a good position to even the score ( "Here, honey. Hold our son while I take care of some unfinished business. Hey, bitch, why don't you pick on someone your own size?" ); and he could even have easily mustered-up support from all of the victims ( "Hold her down for me!" )--'just sayin' ....
