Courting of Lillith 3
After hours of running we found a cave. I helped Lillith lie down and work on her leg. My ears, a little more sensitive than a human's, were at work to pick out any Terminator that might have managed to follow us. As I finished patching up Lillith, they hadn't heard anything.
And Lillith's leg? Almost as lovely as I remembered it. Though it looked like it had taken more of a beating than when I had last seen it.
"It'll be a few days until we can be back to the base in Los Angeles." I told her and leaned against one of the cave walls. I expected an agreement as, when I had left her, she had been very compliant. Oh, so very compliant.
Instead, the silence was uncomfortable and I realized something was wrong. I looked into Lillith's eyes and saw a pain, hate, and loss that hadn't been there before. It was as if I was seeing myself more twisted than I already was.
"I'm not joining the Resistance, Jash." Lillith replied. "I don't care if the world burns and all that's left is metal and ashes. I just don't give a fuck."
"But isn't there a human you care about?" I asked.
Lillith leaned forward and looked up at me. I realized that she had grown but in all the wrong ways. The majority of scars were self inflicted. In her eyes was a fire that was burning dark. All this I noticed as she said, "Not you."
Then she leaned back but still held my gaze.
"Why?" I asked before realizing it was a stupid question with a damning answer.<
"The hospital." Lillith replied. "You know how damning that was to me? You wanted me to kill a woman and her family. How could you?"
The memories flooded my mind and I couldn't wash them away. I wanted to answer her with something funny to relieve the tension. But, for once, I had nothing I could tell her. Nothing that I could believe without denying the truth.

The Woman in Black (2012)
Title: The Woman in Black
Director: James Watkins
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Janet McTeer, and Ciarán Hinds
Rated: PG-13
Released: 2012
Personal Rating: 4.5/5
Oscars: N/A
Basic Plot: A young lawyer travels to a remote village where he discovers the vengeful ghost of a scorned woman is terrorizing the locals.
Truly Scary
This is a truly scary film. If you want gore in your film this isn't for you. If you want to go back into your seat in fear, you'll love this. It does have jump scares but you also care for the characters. What happens at the end heavily depends on you caring for the main character and his son.
Daniel Radcliffe
If you're wondering if you'll have a hard time not thinking of Radcliffe as Harry Potter, you will. Even though I could see him in his new role, I still saw Harry Potter. But it was shown that Radcliffe isn't bound by one role and can act in other roles.
The Scream
When I first saw The Grudge (and in lesser extents in other viewings) the boy screaming was one of the scariest sounds I had ever heard. The Woman in Black has a scream that you have to prepare weeks in advance to not piss your pants upon hearing. Maybe when I watch it again she'll be a little less scary sounding, but I doubt it.
Final Thoughts
This was an enjoyable movie. By the end of the movie I was nearly pissing my pants (excuse me, getting up to pee every five seconds). I didn't think it was going to be that scary. It starts off like nothing too scary would happen, but the end surprised me in a good way. Oh, this ain't Harry Potter folks.
