Title: THIS TURN GETS SCREWED
Review: This take on Henry James' classic TURN OF THE SCREW pales in comparison to 1961's THE INNOCENTS which featured an astounding performance from the late Deborah Kerr. This update lacks the sense of doom of that version, and LeeLee Sobieski is far from Kerr's league.This version brings the story into modern times and features the requisite lesbian love scene, which in my opinion, is turning up too much in our modern horror movies. There also isn't enough focus on the children's relationship with Quint and Miss Jessel and the ending lacks the dynamic impact of the INNOCENTS. Remaining still is the question: are there really ghosts or is the governess just batty? Stick to the INNOCENTS--it's a far better ghost story.
