I regret to say that my first 'Saturday movie review' is a few days late, as unfortunately from late Friday night until just this afternoon I've been feeling terribly ill.
But, as I feel a good deal better now, I randomly picked a movie off of my list to review, here goes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE WOMAN IN WHITE
Based upon Wilkie Collins Victorian mystery, the gothic tale tells of a pair of half sisters, Marian and Laura whose lives end up caught in a grand conspiracy revolving around a mentally ill woman dressed in white. As the story unfolds, murder, love, marriage, and greed stand between the two sisters and happy lives. Their only hope is the secret the woman in white waits to tell them.
I found this movie to be well acted, quite suspensful and it was a very good mystery plot. It's based in the Victorian times, but unlike many Victorian based tales, this one had a considerably darker asthetic, something I would liken to the general feel of 'Dracula'.
It shows quite a decent look into the treatment of women at the time, conspiraces, Victorian fashion, Victorian asylums, abusive relationships, and it would be well counted as a mystery murder story.
I give this movie a 9 out of 10, and I recommend you take a look if you're into this sort of genre.
