In 1941, World War II was in full swing. London, England, was devastated by the Nazi fascists' bombing, thousands of people were displaced, and countless children became orphans. In order to escape the ravages of war, the wife of an army officer, Ms. Helen Hogg (Helen McCrory) and Eve Perkins (Phoebe Fox) took the orphans on a train and took refuge in a remote place. After a long journey, they arrived at their destination and were arranged to stay in a temporary military hospital. However, its predecessor was Eel Marsh House, where the woman in black was rampant. Just out of the wolf's den, and into the tiger's mouth, the panicked women and children are about to usher in a nightmare more terrible than war, and the killing of evil spirits is carried out in an orderly manner... This film is adapted from the best-selling novel by British novelist Susan Hill.
