I'm disappointed that again someone has taken the story of The Turn of the Screw, made a few adaptations to it, gave it a new name, and called it a new movie. It seems as though writers are losing their imaginations. The Turn of the Screw is a nice story but, there's only so many times that you can see it portrayed before you get really sick of it. If you've never seen that movie before, then perhaps this is the movie for you. The acting is done well; the children are charming; and there are a changes and additions to the main story. But, for me, I keep seeing Deborah Kerr as the nanny. It's a nice adaptation. I'm just annoyed that I wasn't warned before I spent my time watching it.
The final episodes take a sharp turn as they try to tie up anything unexplained in this version. And, in trying to tie them, it's a confusing mess. Who's dead? Who's alive? Who's still haunted and why? Very disappointing.
