A Victorian housekeeper (Deborah Kerr, pictured) begins to wonder if the two children in her charge (Martin Stephens and Pamela Franklin) are as innocent and straightforward as they seem.

This masterpiece by that underrated British director Jack Clayton is probably the best filmed ghost story of all time, thanks to Freddie Francis's eerie photography, a sensuous atmosphere of threat, and fine performances all round. Very scary. |
