I just watched a dreadful movie: The Innocents, based on the Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw. I never "got" that book, and although the movie was slightly less opaque, I didn't really get it either. It was just so overblown and over-acted. The story could possibly be interesting. I don't know. It reminded me of The Skeleton Key -- which I liked a lot more.
