The British Board of Film Classification has cut a terrifying six seconds of footage from Daniel Radcliffe’s latest film ‘The Woman in Black’ in order to secure a 12A certificate at the request of movie distributors.
According to the BBFC, the six seconds cut from the supernatural thriller included moments of “strong violence” and “horror”. The aforementioned cuts open the movie to younger Potter enthusiasts longing to catch Radcliffe in his first post-Potter role.
The BBFC also warned viewers that the movie contained moments of “intense supernatural threat and horror.”
Based upon Susan Hill’s 1983 novel, ‘The Woman in Black’ follows Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), a young solicitor who is sent to an eerie and isolated house to finalise the affairs of the late Alice Drablow. He soon uncovers a chilling curse placed upon the town’s inhabitants.
Speaking about the highly anticipated movie Radcliffe assured, “It’s going to be terrifying…at the test screening people were apparently leaping out of their seats, terrified.”
The movie, directed by James Watkins, has secured a PG-13 rating in the USA.
‘The Woman in Black’ will haunt US screens on February 3, and UK screens February 10.
