Rating: 4.5/5 --
Acutely unnerving, magnificently played, and just plain gorgeous.

Alternate Ending
4 stars out of 5 -- Jack Clayton's 1961 black-and-white chiller remains the definitive English horror film.
Uncut
Rating: 4/5 --
The ambiguity of Henry James's story is all here, along with a horrible seam of rottenness ...

London Evening Standard
3.5 stars out of 4 -- [A] stunning example of a now almost ignored truism of the horror genre: a movie need not show so much as the tiniest fleck of viscera to be absolutely terrifying.
Premiere
In horror movies women are often a sobbing mess for much of the film, but [Deborah] Kerr soldiers through the scares, clear-eyed, until the end when her tears are truly earned.

Somehow I was never involved; it was always a classic reverentially transcribed... The lines were faithfully carpentered from James' story, but they remained... lines.

Product Description:
Based on Henry James's TURN OF THE SCREW, THE INNOCENTS is a chilling psychological horror film about a woman, Miss Giddens (Kerr), who takes a position as governess for two orphans in a stately Victorian home. Alone with the children and only a few servants, Miss Giddens soon begins to see what she believes to be ghosts and begins to suspect that the children's increasingly bizarre behavior may be the result of some supernatural power. When she learns the fate of the house's previous governess and valet, Miss Giddens takes it upon herself to rescue the children from the supernatural being that seems to have them in its grips, all the while questioning her own sanity. Ms. Kerr's nuanced performance, possibly the best of her career, and Mr. Francis's atmospheric cinematography help make this a true horror classic.
