Un enfant diabolique

I have seen worse movies, but nevertheless it is the hundredth adaption of "The Turn of The Screw"!

In good thrillers like "Deep Red" by Dario Argento, you probably don't see it coming until the very end. When you know exactly how a movie is gonna end by the 20th minute or so, it can't be much of a "thriller". That said, music and atmosphere would be the only points worth saving here.

I actually really enjoyed this, as a made-for-tv rainy afternoon film. It's much better than your average film.

Rubbish. Don't waste your time.

Babysitter is dumb Rose is a need Jack is a weirdo Housekeeper needs sectioning and thinks she's Morticia

Total rubbish. No gelvof actors. No dialogue flow. Just rubbish.

There are 10 minutes left of the movie, but the ending is pretty much a given. One thing that struck me throughout much of the movie was the old-fashioned looking house-inside and out-and the old-fashioned hairstyle of the housekeeper. This made me think of both "Rebecca" and "Jane Eyre", and I cannot help but wonder if this movie was an attempt at an homage to earlier mysteries such as those. I miss movies like those. These newer ones rely a bit too much on violence. That being said, I mostly enjoyed this movie, and I wondered for awhile which character was the villain. Some of the acting was pretty good, some was not.
