---------

A beautiful, young governess is hired by an English gentleman to take care of his orphaned nephew and niece, Miles and Flora. . The only big condition for her work: she will never ever bother the guy with the problems with the kids. The governess' first impression of the place was very favorable and the kids were adorable. Add to this good salary and you have practically a dream job. Some short time later it turned out that something apparently sinister exists there. An idealistic tale turns out to be horror and adorable kids become monsters (and not little monsters either!).

The governess is alarmed when she sees an unknown man and woman around the estate, and the housekeeper informs her that the couple used to work there, but both died. The governess suspects that the children know more about these "ghosts" than they will admit to her, and fears for their safety...but...

Titbits: Due to its original content, The Turn of the Screw became a favourite text of academics who subscribe to New Criticism. The novella has had differing interpretations, often mutually exclusive. Many critics have tried to determine the exact nature of the evil hinted at by the story. However, others have argued that the true brilliance of the novella comes with its ability to create an intimate confusion and suspense for the reader.
