The Doha Film Institute will provide a special sneak preview into the new star-studded psychological horror film The Woman in Black ahead of its Middle East release. The screening will be held at Katara Cultural Village, Building 16 Drama Theatre on February 19 at 7pm.
Doha audiences will feel a chill up their spines as they watch Daniel Radcliffe, in his first role after Harry Potter, playing Arthur Kipps, a widowed lawyer who finds himself and his family under threat from the supernatural. After accepting a post to settle the affairs of a deceased eccentric in a remote village, he realises that everyone in town has a deadly secret related to his client and the continuous visitations of a mysterious woman in black – and that he and his family are not safe until he finds out what it is.
Starring with Radcliffe is Harry Potter co-star Ciaran Hinds, who played Dumbledore in the beloved series, and prominent British theatre and film actress Janet McTeer.
The film opened to rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic, and is the top-grossing Hammer Film of all time in the United States. Hammer Studios is the venerable British film studio that at its peak in the 1950s and 60s was the home of horror greats like Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.
The Woman in Black is distributed in the Middle East by Front Row Entertainment, who are partnering with DFI to present the screening.
