The Turn of the Screw2009
“The dead are not at rest.”
Directed by Tim Fywell
The premise
In a mid-19th century Essex country house, a young governess for two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the fog-laden grandeur of a Victorian Essex estate, this adaptation of Henry James's celebrated novella follows a young governess who begins to suspect that malevolent presences are at work among the children in her care. The line between genuine supernatural threat and psychological unraveling grows perilously thin as her dread deepens. Michelle Dockery brings quiet intensity to a role that demands the audience constantly question what — and how much — to believe.
