Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoely Richardson (Darla Mandell) is the fourth member of her family to appear in an adaptation of the 1898 horror novella "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James. Her grandfather Michael Redgrave played the Uncle in The Innocents (1961), her aunt Lynn Redgrave played the governess Miss Jane Cubberly in The Turn of the Screw (1974) and her uncle Corin Redgrave played the Professor in The Turn of the Screw (2009).
- GoofsThe 1994 lesson book for Flora identifies February 28th as a Tuesday and March 1st as a Wednesday. In 1994, those dates were a Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits sequence shows Kate's hand dragging across the walls as the credits roll. Halfway through, it cuts to blue figures dancing.

Featured review
Listen to the Reviews
I really wanted to give it three stars, but going over my notes plus how the movie felt - not justified.
Positives: Unfortunately, there are none. Except they mentioned Kurt Cobain which had nothing to do w/anything, and not mentioned again.
Negatives: Always a sign of cheapness is an opening (twice in this case) overhead view of a car on road.
Heavily dependent on the overused, stereotypical, music & sound effects to startle you. Yawn.
The usual ghostly apparitions in mirrors, windows, and in background. Very uncreative, and cheap looking.
The usual isolated mansion/house w/lots of rooms w/stuff, and usual dark basement. And, a maze garden. A brief scene of a creepy tree which had no bearing on anything.
Supposedly scary scenes in which our future victim has portending nightmares, and of course we don't know they're just dreams.
Future victim, unfortunately in this genre is female, does not respond intelligently to what's going on.
Ending, and alternative ending which was worse, was one of those "viewer decides" could be anything.
