The Woman in Black: Angel of Death is set forty years after the events of the first movie and despite the outbreak of World War II, malevolent spirit Jennet Humfrye is still haunting Eel Marsh House. The decaying mansion is now home to a group of evacuee children from London and it's not long before staff become aware of a ghostly presence. A mute child named Edward, who is bullied by the other children, seems to be the focal point of Jennet's supernatural interests. One of the teachers, Eve Parkins (Phoebe Fox) is protective towards the boy and subsequently incurs the wrath of the woman in black.
