Director: Michael Winner
Premise:
A nanny and a caretaker for two wealthy children are having an affair and fail to notice the children's disturbing change of attitude.
My Take:
The movie is a prequel to the Henry James story "A Turn of the Screw". The kid's mimic the adult actions, take what they say literally, and devise a plan to keep their two mentors together forever.
Great performances from the two leads in this offbeat and twisted tale. I found the children actors to be incredibly annoying though.
Rating: In the middle
