Henry James's classic ghost story of psychological suspense provides the basis for this <I>Masterpiece Theatre</I> presentation. Jodhi May, with her warm and open demeanor, is perfectly cast as "Miss," the generically named governess at a grand British estate. Her charges are two seemingly angelic little orphans. Miss can't believe her good fortune at landing such a delightful job. "Am I dreaming?" she asks kindly, corpulent housekeeper Mrs. Grose (Pam Ferris). But dream turns to nightmare as the house's spectral inhabitants reveal themselves to her. Miss becomes obsessed with protecting her precious "little creatures" from the vile phantasms. The movie is satisfyingly spooky and makes us jump in all the right places. The children, Flora (Grace Robinson) and Miles (Joe Sowerbutts), are genuinely creepy. "When I'm bad, Miss, I really am extremely bad," asserts little Miles, and we believe him. This provocative adaptation of <I>The Turn of the Screw</I> breathes new life into James's morbid Victorian obsession with sexuality and morality. <I>--Laura Mirsky</I>
Viewer Reviews
Man I was dissapointed in this film I love Johi May and Colin Firth but this was a waste of money and the end was not very clear and the movie was rather depressing.
