Title: The Turn of the Screw
Review: This film is without doubt one of the greatest ghost story and book adaptations ever filmed. Henry James' classic short story is given a superb rendering here, with Deborah Kerr in her best role, and a star-making turn by a young Pamela Franklin. Never before (with the possible exception of 1963's "The Haunting") has a film unfolded its suspense with such subtlety! So engrossing is this film that you'll likely feel the accompanying chill as the ghosts make their presence known! The lighting and cinematography of this film is excellent, shot in gorgeous black and white. The appearances of the ghosts and the final scene are two of the most memorable and frightening scenes ever filmed. If you are a fan of true "horror," you must add this film and "The Haunting" to your collection.
