The most successful screen adaptation of The Turn of the Screw, one of the most famous short stories of Henry James. A governess must look after two boys in a big house in the park, isolated and many secrets. She discovers that they are owned by the perverse influence of a couple of dead servants (the gamekeeper and his mistress) who use the bodies for unmentionable practices. So she try to save them. The film retains the ambiguity of the story in which is not clear to understand what is reality and what the projection of governess' sexual phobia. A marvelous Deborah Kerr.
