As bombs rain down on London during the Blitz of World War II, a group of school children are evacuated with Eve, their young and beautiful schoolteacher, to the safety of the English countryside. Taken to an old and empty estate, cut-off by a causeway from the mainland, they are left at Eel Marsh House. One by one the children begin acting strangely and Eve, with the help of local military commander Harry, discovers that the group has awoken a dark force even more terrifying and evil than the city's air raids. Eve must now confront her own demons to save the children and escape the wrath of The Woman in Black. (official distributor synopsis)

Unfortunately, the film suffers from the problem of sequels, where the creators attempt the same thing, just with slightly different characters. But in the end, they realize that it's always something different, and something is missing from it. This is basically a Japanese horror movie in an English setting, where it's just playing on the fact that some of the scenes are "really scary", but really they're just something you see all the time in horror movies and it's all a bit boring.
