Jack Clayton directs Deborah Kerr, Megs Jenkins and Michael Redgrave in this classic psychological horror where a young governess for two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted.

Lovely, gorgeous repressed Deborah Kerr becomes convinced her two wards are possessed by a horny dead couple. We have menacing creepy and wholly untrustworthy kids. Shadowy figures in the distance. Sleepless night. Paranoia. Doubting servants. Wandering a labyrinth of a country house with nothing the tenuous light of your candelabra. Histrionic and diaphanous. Nightie-tastic.
