The Innocents

Based on Henry James’ immortal novella, The Turn of the Screw, this classic horror film is a dark, terrifying, gothic tale of a repressed spinster-governess (Deborah Kerr) caring for two strange children in a lonely mansion. Miss Giddens begins to suspect that the perfectly mannered children harbour a dark secret and have become pawns in a horrifying plot from beyond the grave!

The principal inspiration for the blockbusters, The Sixth Sense and The Others, The Innocents remains the quintessential ghost story and boasts a provocative script co-written by Truman Capote and brilliant direction by Jack Clayton (The Great Gatsby).

Critic Reviews:

• " It creeps slowly up on the viewer: a drip-feed of fear fed by creaks, eerie children and shadowy demonic figures on the periphery of this world and the next. " – Kate Muir

• " A crackling, eerie, coldly beautiful account of the novel, which reveals new subtleties and meanings every time you go back. " – Tim Robey

• " Splendidly acted highbrow horror film creating eerie cam- era poetry on an English country estate of half a century ago. " – Janet Graves
