Daniel Radcliffe talks The Woman in Black

Daniel Radcliffe has spoken exclusively to Total Film about ghostly Victorian chiller The Woman in Black .

As the last installment in the Harry Potter franchise approaches fast, Radcliffe told us about his next move: "It's one of the great challenges, to get people to buy me as something else."

Radcliffe's character, Arthur Kipps, is "a father and a widower- two things I don't have direct experiece of."

The Woman in Black is directed by Eden Lake 's James Watkins, with a screenplay by Jane Goldman.

"I would call it a character-driven horror film, along the line of The Orphanage or The Others " said Radcliffe. "It's slow-burning and it's very, very scary."

When we asked the 21-year-old actor just how adult this movie would be, he told us: "It's about loss, family and fear... The overriding sense of death pervades the entire film."

The Woman in Black is set to be released on 28 October 2011.
