International Horror Series: The Innocents
A genuinely frightening classic that seems elegant and genteel but increasingly becomes creepy and atmospheric.
Film/Video Theater
The Innocents (Jack Clayton, 1961, UK)
Introduced by Scott Woods, Streetlight Guild founder
One of the definitive and most influential supernatural Gothic films, The Innocents stars Deborah Kerr (An Affair to Remember, Black Narcissus) as an emotionally fragile governess who comes to suspect there is something very, very wrong with her precious new charges. A psychosexually intensified adaptation of Henry James’s classic novella The Turn of the Screw and cowritten by Truman Capote, The Innocents is a triumph of storytelling, sound design, widescreen cinematography, and chilling atmosphere! (100 mins., DCP)
