The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death

Many creepy and disturbing scenes, usually involving children's deaths. Two orphans die: A boy gets caught in barbed wire, and a girl first tries to strangle herself with skin but is saved at the last minute; later, she kills herself by inhaling toxic fumes. Faces and figures pop out unexpectedly, and the Woman in Black is frightening. She screams and is shown hanging and lurking in rooms, usually about to touch children or adults. A boy nearly drowns but is saved, and another character sacrifices himself to save others. Set during World War II, the movie shows German bomber planes dropping bombs on London and in the countryside.

A man and woman kiss, and she recalls getting pregnant out of wedlock.

Insults, name-calling: "baby," "coward," "battle axe," "godforsaken." Also "damn," "rubbish."

A soldier nervously smokes a cigarette in a couple of scenes.

Parents need to know that The Woman in Black 2, the sequel to The Woman in Black, is set decades later, during World War II. Like the original, the sequel -- which lacks the first movie's star, Daniel Radcliffe -- includes the frightening specter of the titular Woman in Black, who screams, pops up creepily, and leads children to their deaths. Three characters die, two of them children, in disturbing scenes: One is caught in barbed wire, and the other inhales toxic fumes. There's also a repeated flashback to a sad, frantic birth scene and moments when bombs drop on London and the English countryside. But language is mild ("damn," "godforsaken"), and the only sexual content is a brief kiss.
