A young solicitor travels to a remote village where he discovers the vengeful ghost of a scorned woman is terrorizing the locals.

threat and horror
There are a number of scenes of supernatural horror and threat in which the ghost of the 'woman in black', as well as the ghosts of her victims, appear to and threaten the central character and others. While this threat is generally moderate, with more intense scenes broken up by other material and by a number of quieter periods in between the more frightening sequences, the sequence from ANGEL OF DEATH features strong and sustained threat.
additional issues
Further issues include scenes in which: the ghost of the 'woman in black' appears to hang herself from a noose; a young girl smashes an oil lamp, causing herself to burst into flames; and a girl coughs up blood after ingesting caustic soda. There are also repeated verbal and visual references to a young boy drowning in a muddy swamp, to a mother dying in childbirth, and some dated uses of the word 'harlot'.

Cuts:
Distributor chose to reduce moments of strong violence / horror in order to achieve a '12A' classification. Cuts made in line with BBFC Guidelines and policy. A '15' classification without cuts was available.
threat and horror
There are a number of scenes of supernatural horror and threat in which the ghost of the 'woman in black', as well as the ghosts of her victims, appear to and threaten the central character and others. The general tone of the film is quite bleak and the premise of a ghost manipulating children into harming or killing themselves, make this a potentially disturbing feature for young children. The film also includes a scene in which the ghost of the 'woman in black' appears to hang herself from a noose. It also includes a scene in which a young girl smashes an oil lamp, causing herself to burst into flames. Both these scenes were reduced in order to achieve a '12A' classification. In another scene, a girl coughs up blood after ingesting caustic soda.

The film includes a scene in which the ghost of the 'woman in black' hangs herself from a noose, including sight and sound of her neck breaking. It also includes a scene in which a young girl smashes an oil lamp, causing herself to burst into flames. She is subsequently seen walking forwards, engulfed in fire. Both these scenes were originally reduced in order to achieve a '12A' classification at the cinema and a '12' on video
additional issues
A girl coughs up blood after ingesting caustic soda. The coughing up of blood is relatively brief, albeit shocking, and the result of poisoning rather than violence. The film also contains repeated verbal and visual references to a young boy drowning in a muddy swamp, to a mother dying in childbirth and some dated references to 'harlot'.
