One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
A young governess is hired by a man who has become responsible for his young nephew and niece after their parents' deaths. A modern take on Henry James' novella "The Turn of the Screw."
"This is a contemporary reinterpretation of Henry James' classic gothic novel 'The Turn of the Screw', which has been adapted numerous times for TV and cinema. 'The Turning' loses some of the luster of some of those other versions, much because its plot is more confusing than mysterious or ambiguous. However, it is a show of acting by its three protagonists: Mackenzie Davis ('Tully'), Finn Wolfhard ('Stranger Things') and Brooklynn Prince ('The Florida Project'). In addition, Floria Sigismondi's ('The Runaways') elegant direction achieves a palpable atmosphere of darkness, showing that she is a filmmaker who deserves to be followed in future forays into terror."
