The Innocents
Apparitions? Evils? Corruptions?
Directed by Jack Clayton
Produced by Achilles, 20th Century Fox
A psychologically ambiguous ghost story that sustains dread through visual restraint and the governess's mounting conviction, leaving the nature of the haunting deliberately unresolved.
In a mid-19th century Essex country house, a young governess for two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.
