Nigel Kneale’s adaptation of “The Woman in Black” released on Blu-Ray

Network have just released Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale‘s chilling adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel The Woman in Black on Blu-Ray, first shown as a TV film back in 1989.

Nigel Kneale's adaptation of "The Woman in Black"

When a friendless old widow dies in the seaside town of Crythin, a young solicitor is sent in to settle her estate. Following cryptic warnings from the locals regarding the terrifying history of the old woman’s house, he very soon begins to see visions of a menacing woman in black…

Atmospherically directed by BAFTA-nominated Herbert Wise and starring Adrian Rawlins as the unfortunate young solicitor and Pauline Moran as the terrifying revenant, this unsettling drama remains a high watermark for ghost story adaptations on British television and still retains its significant potential to shock.

Unseen for decades, Nigel Kneale’s chilling adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel has been painstakingly restored in High Definition by Network’s award-winning in-house Restoration Team from original film elements for this long-awaited release.

Susan Hill’s novel was first published in 1983 and more recently, has been adapted as a feature film starring Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

The Woman in Black Blu-Ray is available to order here on the Network web site
