Storyline

Based on Henry James famous novel, this latest version emphasises the ambiguity of this supernatural drama. Does Ann really see ghosts? Are the two children in her care about to be possessed by the spirits of the sexually dubious Peter Quint and Emily Jessell? This is left to the viewer to decide during a bleak yet sumptious 90 minutes of classic period storytelling. Written by Ian Taylor

Better than these reviews say!
31 May 2020 | by psp1119 – See all my reviews

I thought this was quite effective and scary, despite what many reviewers here say. An excellent ghost story.
