George Slv 2nd Nov 2015		Review I would say this is the favorite filming of this supernatural story that I've seen. The drama and horror suspense are good, and so is the photography and production. It's the famous American novella of Henry James filmed many times, including as The Haunting of Helen Walker, and as an excellent episode of TV's Nightmare Classics. The new governess for two young children finds that there are evil spirits influencing this country manor [old dark house]. That most famous 1961 version titled The Innocents with Deborah Kerr gets a zero from me, based on the effect and atmosphere. There's one problem to get past in this 1992 film. Kensit's initial job interview is filmed in such an oddball manner, that on TV I turned it off without continuing, not knowing what I missed. The story is told in flashback fashion with Marianne Faithful recounting it, and we realize later what her role had been. So it's one of those most excellent intense British productions. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
