will_asher Review of Turn of the Screw

Turn of the Screw (2020)

An excellent low budget adaptation of the Turn of the Screw.

[8/10 · 16 November 2023]

I wanted to leave a review partly because the only other review on here gave it only four stars. For such a low budget flick, I think they did an excellent job with the story. I liked this version better than The Innocents movie (which might be the most popular straight adaptation of The Turn of the Screw as far as I can tell). And the little twist with having it be a dress rehearsal for a play while not changing much, it makes the low budget effects work better since it's like watching a play, and adds a little fun in my opinion with the two missing actors, the mysterious director, and the (mostly) empty theater.
