I just saw The Innocents from 1961
It's a black and white psychological horror movie in which a governess hired to take care of a couple of children believe the children are being possessed. It is based on the Henry James novel The Turn of the Screw which I haven't read, but I really enjoyed the movie. It was intelligent, very effective in it's cinematography with a thoroughly creepy atmosphere. It's nice to watch a horror classic which doesn't vent suspense each chance it gets with cheap spooks, but keeps building that suspense right up until the very end of the film .. The ending was just lovely and left me guessing which I both love and hate. Recommended to those who think they might like a creepy, classic horror movie which should appeal to ghost believers and sceptics alike edit : By the way, the movie inspired Kate Bush to write the song "The Infant Kiss" which I love of course!

Yes, there's definetly a strong connection between this one and The Orphanage as well .. also preferable to The Others in my opinion

What I like about The Innocents the most is the ambiguity throughout the film and especially of the ending. It can be interpreted in more ways than one. And Deborah Kerr was great in it.

I thought it was quite a well made documentary. The parts of Detroit it showed were crazy. I had no idea it was that bad. 8/10 I thought it was a good movie, but it really didn't scare me at all. Still wrapped me up in the story and built a good atmosphere. As for the acting Jack Nicolson was really good, but the woman wasn't that great and the kid was almost laughable at some points. Still a good movie though. 8/10 |
