The Turn of the Screw
A naive, young governess (Jodhi May) is hired by a charming bachelor (Colin Firth) to look after his two young children in a grand mansion in rural England. She is determined to make the most of her situation, despite the Master's strange stipulation that she never contact him. Her first impressions are all good - the house is beautiful, the housekeeper (Pam Ferris) is friendly, the children are lovely, and the job is a perfect delight. But then, she sees the ghosts of the former valet, Peter Quint and a previous governess, Miss Jessel, and everything changes. The young governess is convinced that the children can see the ghosts, that they can communicate with them, and that their very souls are in danger. She feels she alone can save them from a horrifying fate. Chilling made-for-tv adaptation of Henry James' gripping horror story.
