Trivia
Joely Richardson (Darla Mandell) is the fourth member of her family to appear in an adaptation of the 1898 horror novella "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James. Her grandfather Michael Redgrave played the Uncle in Les Innocents (1961), her aunt Lynn Redgrave played the governess Miss Jane Cubberly in Le tour d'écrou (1974) and her uncle Corin Redgrave played the Professor in The Turn of the Screw (2009).

Goofs
The 1994 lesson book for Flora identifies February 28th as a Tuesday and March 1st as a Wednesday. In 1994, those dates were a Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

Quotes
Kate: Where were you hiding?
Flora: Like I'd tell.

Crazy credits
The end credits sequence shows Kate's hand dragging across the walls as the credits roll. Halfway through, it cuts to blue figures dancing.

An abrupt ending that confuses everyone

There are quite a few jump scares, but the plot is just really thin. There are so many unanswered questions. For example, is Finn really trying to make life hard for the governess, or is he possessed? The ending is just really abrupt, I literally gasped "What?" because I just don't know what really happened in the whole film. The two endings, which one is real? Is she crazy? It is very confusing.
