Just saw the trailer for The Turning (the new version of The Turn of the Screw) when it was shown during a break in FX's new version of A Christmas Carol. The film looks amazing. Let's hope it lives up to the trailer.

‘The Turning’ Review: Mackenzie Davis Burns Up Feminist Twist on ‘The Innocents’
Finn Wolfhard and Brooklynn Prince are downright devilish in Floria Sigismondi's stylish riff on Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw." (https://www.indiewire.com/2020/01/the-turning-review-mackenzie-davis-finn-wolfhard-turn-of-the-screw-1202205277/)

With regard to this film, one article writes:

"The Innocents is regarded as the best novel adaptation, but the opening has parallels to Dark Shadows, the cult vampire/horror afternoon serial. Shadows opened with the Dracula theme then moved into "Screw" introducing West Virginian David Selby as Quentin."
