The Innocents
Conjuring Nosferatu: Robert Eggers Presents
February 5 - 9, 2025
A seminal gothic chiller and a touchstone work examining the relationship between the paranormal and the psychological, Jack Clayton’s second feature (adapted from Henry James by William Archibald and Truman Capote) stars Deborah Kerr as a governess who starts to believe that the estate she is looking after is haunted by ghosts.
A seminal gothic chiller, Jack Clayton’s second feature (following his Oscar-nominated debut, Room at the Top) draws its plot from Henry James’s 1898 novella A Turn of the Screw, adapted for the occasion by William Archibald and Truman Capote. Deborah Kerr stars as Miss Giddens, a woman working her first job as a governess for a rich bachelor (Michael Redgrave), moving to his country estate to look after two orphans who are in his custody. But as time passes, Miss Giddens increasingly believes that the estate is haunted, and that the children’s outbursts are evidence of spectral possession…. A touchstone work examining the relationship between the paranormal and the psychological, The Innocents endures as one of cinema’s finest ever ghost stories.
