Plot
Shortly after coming to live with orphans Flora and Miles in their dark, eerie mansion, the new governess begins to realise that her young charges share their bodies with evil spirits and sets about trying to save the children from their fate at increasing personal risk to herself. Based on Henry James' gothic ghost tale "The Turn Of The Screw", 'The Innocents' is rich in malevolent atmosphere, a classic spine chiller.
