The Innocents

1961 Jack Clayton 100 MIN

In a mid-19th century Essex country house, a young governess for two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.

HORROR CENTRALITY
92 /100

The Innocents centers on supernatural hauntings and a pervasive atmosphere of dread; the fear-driven experience and ghostly threat are essential to its identity, with drama and mystery supporting rather than defining; removing horror would fundamentally change the film.
