A very well made mystery. Fine locations and a good sense of foreboding.
Such a variety of opinions about it. They say that the novella was purposely ambiguous. What was the purpose of the ghosts and what were they trying to do to the children? It's not clear and this really weakens the story for me. Real ghosts have an unconscious wish for others to die around them so they can have company, but they have no power over humans. Was it their purpose for the boy to die?
I don't recall any revealing nudity in it as some say. You don't rate for Nudity because of nude STATUES.
Some say Patsy Kensit was lovely, while some say she was dull. I agree with neither. She was basically fine.
The vaunted past filming with Deborah Kerr, The Innocents, was perfectly flat and uninteresting. It's queer that Martin Scorcese puts it in his top 10. How do you explain the thinking?
