The Innocents (1961) - Trailer

[@bobnic8283]

This film is a genuine chiller. The voices of the children are particularly scary and sinister. Deborah Kerr is outstanding.

[@FridayTea]

Still unclear as to whether or not they ever return to possess the living though...

[@RobynAdamsSheFreak]

Having seen the film in October last year, I can pretty safely say... yeah, so far as this movie is concerned they do. Or do 'they' merely influence the living from beyond the grave? Who knows...

@@Toelzerfanclever Saw this when Seattle Opera did it last season! I liked it, but had a rough time with the discordant composition. Def inspired me to read the novel though!

[@Toelzerfanclever]

@@FridayTea Would you recommend to read the novel ?

[@mishkaberxwadon3460]

One of the greatest horror movies ever... Brilliant absolutely brilliant. Cinematography.... Outstanding

[@franm.k.5832]

The Innocents is the best adaption of the Henry James novella in my opinion. I had to read the story in summer school years ago and was pleasantly surprised when I couldn't put down the book, The Turn of the Screw (title different from the movie). It turned out to be my favorite summer read that year.

[@dancamp1531]

This movie scared me as a kid still as a older man still watching it..this movie is a classic!!!1

[@dianaparker4807]

And this is the inspiration for The Haunting of Bly Manor. This is one of my favorite movies of all time!!!

[@alexdavies1662]

This is still my favourite Haunted House horror film :) It has a brilliant script, is well acted and directed and is a genuinely frightening film.

[@writerspen010]

DOo THey they they ever return to possess tHE LIvinGG????

[@ShanonSinn]

We're watching this film in one of our English classes at university right now. Based on Henry James' "Turn of the Screw". Trumen Capote was one of the writers. Really well done.

[@michaelrogowski7476]

Any present day thoughts on this film ?

[@BetterWithBob]

I literally can't stop going on about how much I love this film, and I first saw it fifteen years ago!

[@PhxSml]

The actress seems really good. They used to be very theatrical in that time but she knows how to focus her performance depending on where the camera is

[@twilightblue8566]

Deborah Kerr can even act with her eyes.

[@J.DeLaPoer]

This is one of the greatest slow-burn, insidious psychological movies of all time*. No wonder it remains so shamefully obscure though. Those expecting typical horror schlock will be sorely disappointed, and anyone in search of something more cerebral and really worth seeing won’t bother with it if this trailer is what they have to go on. The Innocents is one of those very rare examples of a movie adaptation actually doing full justice to its literary source, and its criminal how unknown it remains. * Based on the excellent short story “The Turn of the Screw”, which is itself very much worth seeking out for a read.

[@Grandmastergav86]

This film is outstanding, a masterpiece.

[@franm.k.5832]

The movie is excellent and the book is unforgettable. A Henry James masterpiece

[@treesny]

And the opera is one of Benjamin Britten's finest achievements, with an excellent libretto by Myfanwy Piper.@@franm.k.5832

[@usforsarah]

Deborah Kerr was a genius and the best Hollywood had to offer.

[@renan.csmaia]

The book is great, the film is great and Deborah Kerr was one the best actresses of the 20th century!

[@Travis_22]

Agreed!

[@globalman]

Awful trailer. It was not such a goulish horror film but something psychological from a highly acclaimed book "The Turn of the Screw". I saw this film when it first came to the cinema in NYC. I was a lad of 13. I wonder now how much of it I fully understood. One thing I remember is that it left me utterly depressed. I walked home in the dark misty evening and felt totally suicidal. It was a fine film indeed with a brilliant cast but probably not for such a young lad as I was.

[@twilightblue8566]

This is an intelligently made movie with an ambiguous ending that viewers interpret differently. Being filmed in black and white also helps with the over-all creepy effect. All of the actors are very good, even the ghosts.

[@valariediane6490]

I'm not sure if they ever return to possess the living

[@heidsterzsoups2133]

Awww Deborah Kerr. Love you, girl.

[@jessicavalli9850]

What a horrible trailer, if I had seen the trailer first I would have never watched the movie. This trailer makes it out to be a B horror movie when in fact it is an excellent scicological thriller.

[@adlofheltirchiefadvisortot40]

Jessica valli read this was one of the best pyschological horrors, then saw the trailer and thought it looked "shit".. but your comment gave me hope gonna see if its on netflix :-D

[@teresadelestal3779]

But this is 1961 its unfair

Don’t be ridiculous, the trailer is old you dummy

"Scicological" lol

[@paslaminerva]

This is a very classic psychological horror film, very literary, and time will witness its classic status.

[@1234567mrbob]

It is a rather pathetic trailer. I remember seeing the movie when I was 12, and it was a rather thrilling movie. This makes it look like a cheap horror flick.

[@LAFC.]

Whats wrong with cheap horror flicks? Those are some of the best.

[@rogpile]

I agree with others here: this is an embarrassingly bad trailer for an utterly brilliant film. Another injustice is that David Pirie's "A New Heritage of Horror: The English Gothic Cinema" --- which Martin Scorcese describes as "The best study of British horror movies"--- contains no reference to this film! Incredible!

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

For 1961, this has a very tripped out vibe.

I watched this movie back in the 70s, was very disturbing (thank God for ad breaks on TV) remembering it still gives me the heebie jeebies

[@JonahMcD]

I can’t believe how much this is connected to The Haunting of Bly Manor!

[@chrisgestalis3563]

Originally based on Henry James, 'A Turn of the Screw" novella, 'The Innocents' was one of the best and well known adaptations. Netflix is directly inspired by the film and one of the character's names is direct reference to the movie, one of the directors. 'Bly' was the name of the manor and grounds in the original story.

[@nonjaninja4904]

[@mylouhedwig678]

To be fair it was made almost 60 years ago and also one of the first horror movies ever made so its hard to compare this trailer to today’s standards

[@davidroberts1026]

They tacked on a hokey B movie come on, with the echoing "Do They ever Return to Possess the Living!?" that's totally at odds with the tone of the film.

[@RealSuperNintendan]

This wasn’t one of the first horror movies ever made. There were hundreds of horror movies before this one.

Is there still some space left in the Coward's Corner? 1:53- I am never complementing anyone ever again.

[@trishajackson9678]

This reminds me of a movie I am looking for. It was a recent black and white horror or thriller. I think it was called Little Sister. Not the 2016 slaher. I remember the young adult sister being on a swing and having a brother in the trailer. I would appreciate any help I could get. I've spent too much time looking with no results.

[@michaelrogowski7476]

Are you still looking...for the movie, what did you think of The Innocents by the way?

[@sportshistorybuff319]

With several adaptations of this story, the ending is unfathomably vague, very little explained. Perhaps that was the intent of the author or the directors who brought this to the screen. The little boy, haunted by the dead ghosts on the grounds, dies, for no clear reason. All the reader/viewer learns is that this somehow saves him from the influence of the spirits. Valerie Bertinelli played the governess once, as did a gorgeously cute blonde with an English accent in another version.

[@francescomazzella7380]

Brrrrrr :) do they they they ever return to possess the living

[@widsonferreiradossantos1038]

Há indícios de que a história referida por James foi sobre um incidente ocorrido em Hinton Ampner, quando em 1771 uma mulher chamada Mary Rickettsse mudou de sua casa depois de ver as aparições de um homem e uma mulher, dia e noite, olhando através das janelas, curvando-se sobre as camas e fazendo-a sentir que seus filhos estavam em perigo. Estranho e claustrofóbico!

[@petersolomon5227]

A truly bloody awful American trailer. British film-maker Jack Clayton was an artist of nuance and discretion. Little wonder he had such difficulty dealing with the Hollywood system. Next to “Room at the Top”, “The Innocents” is Clayton’s uncontested masterpiece. And where Disney did their best - which is to say their worst - in effectively re-making Clayton’s “Something Wicked this Way Comes”, the scenes that Clayton directed, that aren’t flooded with vulgar effects, are testament to his outstanding talent.
