The Horrors formed in the summer of 2005 and quickly gained notoriety around London for their look, sound, and brief but frantic live shows. Loog soon signed them, and the Horrors released their official debut single, "Sheena Is a Parasite/Jack the Ripper," in spring 2006. That summer the Horrors released their second single, Death at the Chapel. They also reissued "Sheena Is a Parasite" as a limited-edition DVD single. The song's startling video was directed by Chris Cunningham and featured actress Samantha Morton as Sheena. Late that summer, the band signed to Stolen Transmission in the U.S. and released a self-titled EP that fall. They also issued the Count in Fives single in the U.K. around that time.
The Gloves single arrived early in 2007, heralding the release of the Horrors' full-length debut, Strange House, which arrived in the U.K. that March and in the U.S. in May. In 2008, Webb and Furse formed the analog synth project Spider & the Flies, and released the album Something Clockwork This Way Comes. For 2009's Primary Colours, the band worked with Cunningham and Portishead's Geoff Barrow as co-producers, opting for a very different sound that mixed shoegaze, post-punk, and goth; the album was released by XL that spring and earned several critical raves, including NME's Album of the Year. In between albums, Badwan teamed with Canadian opera singer Rachel Zeffira for the hazy pop project Cat's Eyes, which released its self-titled debut in early 2011. The Horrors self-produced their follow-up, 2011's Skying, which featured a lighter yet still atmospheric sound that drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine and the Psychedelic Furs. In 2012, they released the remix companion album Higher and embarked on an extensive tour. In 2013, they began recording new material with producer Craig Silvey. Early the following year, the single "I See You" reflected the more expansive direction of their fourth album, Luminous, which arrived in May 2014. The Horrors began work on their next full-length with Paul Epworth at London's Church Studios in 2015, and forged a darker, rawer yet still danceable sound that borrowed from '80s post-punk, synth-pop, and '90s dance. The result was V, which arrived in September 2017.

The way I liike to interpret the ending is that her killing him and his child wasn't an act of mercy on her part; she was still bitter and angry and trying to hurt him, hence why the "never forgive, never forget" line was reiterated
However, her act of malice backfired because he wasn't a bitter person. Radcliffe's character was a forgiver. He may not forget, but he was a forgiver and he had compassion which he showed by trying to help her. He tried to end her suffering by demonstrating a lack of bitterness in his actions, even though she deserved it for all the horrible things she had done, but he still had that compassion and in the end, her bitterness could not take that away from him. She killed him bcause she couldn't forgive, but he found happiness in the end because he COULD. Both of their families were reunited in the end, but only he found happiness in his.
You saw that even before the Woman in Black lost her child, she wasn't exactly a nice woman, and after she lost her child, she let the grief consume her with anger. Radcliffe's character too experienced great loss with his wife and mother of his child dying, and on top of that, he suffered financial difficulties, struggling to support his child as a single father. That's what brought him to the house in the first place, and he did not need to help the Woman In Black, he only needed to finish the job he came for and leave. But he risked his safety even so to do it, even in his own grief and his own struggles, he chose to help someone who was consumed by anger and trying to hurt him and others that didn't deserve it.
He did help her, but it wasn't enough to allow her to let go of her rage and move on peacefully. That bitterness and anger was what was causing her suffering and keeping her trapped in that house, terrorising that village. Radcliffe showed himself to be the complete opposite, being kind, caring of others despite his grief. So when she killed him, she failed to stop him from finding peace in the end and moving on, hence why he was reunited with his late-wife and could pass to the afterlife after death, but she could not even with her son.
I feel this becomes even more apparent when you analyse how exactly the two characters were separated from their loved ones; the Woman in Black and her son were BOTH dead. His corpse was only out of the house in the bog. She demonstrated quite clearly that she could travel from the house, and quite far in fact, going all the way up to the village. Her being unable to reunite with her son was not a product of physical difference as they were both dead. Where he died wasn't further than where she could spiritually travel, and Radcliffe bringing his corpse physically to where her spirit mostly remained wasn't enough to connect the two together.
We know this physical difference doesn't matter because when Radcliffe and his son died, they immediatelely were united with the dead mother. The mother who died likely on the other side of the country in London. Yet here she was spiritually, together with them and they moved on as a family. Even before his death, it was shown that she was still with him. They were separated physically and spiritually on different realms, yet she was still with him throughout the entire movie. The Woman in Black's son was also dead, yet she couldn't find him at all.
The Woman in Black's true tragedy was that she was keeping herself there and apart from her son with her own rage. Her child had likely already moved on, too young to internalise that kind of anger and fear to keep him trapped where he died. The biggest theme of the movie of course is loss, and it's that her loss she wants others to experience, tha'ts why she kills the children of the townsfolk, that's why she killd Radcliffe's son. She wants people to suffer and hurt the way that she does, but simply losing a loved one and dealing with grief doesn't mean that you have to develop that kind of bitterness and anger. You can move on, like with Mr Daily, the man who lost his own son to the Woman in Black, and his wife who also couldn't move on as a result of it, who needed to be sedated due to her hysterics and treated her pets like children to cope
How the different characters react to loss and cope with it is present throughout the entire film and causes almost all the conflcit. The distrusting grieving villagers, the hysterical and mentally scarred Mr's Daily and the murdering Woman in Black
It's the inabiity to deal with the grief and the culmination of that anger and bitterness which causes the tragedy you see in the movie. As Radcliffe demonstrated how little bitterness he had, and his ability to want to forgive and help even someone like the Woman in Black, he was able to move on in death and be reunited with his loved ones
Ultimately, the one thing that keeps the Woman in Black trapped there in her grief is herself.

I feel the same.
I also think that the Woman in Black and the Grudge share a lot of similarities. Especially concerning their main female ghosts.
Both are women who were wronged in life and died angry at those who hurt them. Their rage manifests itself as a curse, they will never forgive and will continue to inflict their pain and hatred onto innocent people. There is no way to end their curses, no great mystery or solution to be found. Once you are in their sights you can’t escape them, only death and despair await.
Of course there are differences as well, the Woman in Black evokes a more British gothic horror whilst The Grudge takes itself from Eastern folklore tales of Onryo’s. Kayako will kill anyone who enters her house indiscriminately, whilst the Woman in Black only kills children if she is seen by someone. But the core of the characters are still the same, killing innocents to perpetuate their hatred, which manifests as a curse, onto the world.
Both stories are very nihilistic as well. Like I said, there is no solution to appease either spirit, their rage and need for revenge drives their existence. A lot of horrors, especially American ones, feel the need to present an escape for its main characters. Such as finding a way to get rid of/exorcise/appease the spirit. That there is a way for the main characters to have a happy ending. That if they find out this or if they do that, everything will be alright.
But for these two stories there just isn’t any. And that is pretty terrifying. That once these ghosts have you in their maw, you are just straight up doomed. Not many horrors do that.
I see what you mean with the Conjuring, and I like the Conjuring, I thought it had great scares and James Wan, the director, is one of my favourite modern horror directors. But it doesn’t evoke that same terrifying nihilism since the Warrens are always there to explain everything and essentially save the day. So even the Conjuring offers the viewer some form of comfort and reassurance for the audience. And you see that a lot.
I’m not saying all horrors need to have a sad ending to be scary, but as I get older The Grudge and the Woman in Black do become more and more terrifying to me because of the unstoppable nature of their ghosts.

I thought some of the stuff I said in my Bloodborne video would be relevant here, hence the gothic/Lovecraftian thematic similarities.

@darkblade8660
thank you for doing this I have been hoping you would do this every since i found your channel last year thank you for making me see horror movies in another light
@lindsaypetersen5940
I've been waiting for this movie to be covered
@BigShaneGillis
Not Lovecraftian in the slightest, pretty Kafkaesque though.
@maz3215
Love your video's. Would love you to do a review about 'The Ring'. I did freak out when then girl came out the telly on that one & I still find it creepy. Jeepers Creepers is another one I'd love you to review!
@byronbrooks6366
I was hoping you can do the recent film "The Little Strangers" or "The Haunting of Hill House".
@wynngwynn
Radcliff really shook off the Harry Potter role and stopped himself being typecast by choosing a lot of really great movies to be in.
@Tickerchicken
I mean, after being a neo nazi, it’s fair to say he’s not innocent anymore.
@indiefruit
He's great, but he still suffers from 'Harry Potter voice' in this one ha.

After being a farting corpse with a compass boner, Daniel Radcliffe can do anything he wants.
