It's like the director said at one point, "You know what, forget everything I just told you, the nanny's insane, The End."<br /><br />To be fair, this isn't the first film adaptation of ToTS to come down on one side or the other on the ghost-are-real/not-real issue. In the 2007 version starring Leelee Sobieski, she is obviously off the deep end from the get-go. And in the 1973 version starring Lynn Redgrave, the ghosts are demonstrably real.Jason D.

Bad movie 101. You can't clarify if the ghosts are real or not. That misses the entire point of the book.<br />I love the Innocents. Definitely my favorite version. <br />After the sublime adaptation of the Haunting of Hill House, I was underwhelmed by its sequel on Netflix, the Haunting of Bly Manor. Just boring and padded. Sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone.Pete Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512590488080103661noreply@blogger.com
