'The Innocents', Jack Clayton's 1961 adaption of Henry James' novella 'The Turn of The Screw', is not only one of the great horror films, it is one of the greatest of all films.
And key to its success is how expertly the film exploits its key theme of 'ambiguity'. But this begs the question, what exactly is ambiguity, and more importantly, how do you create it?
It's also the 10th anniversary of cinematographer Freddie Francis' death this week, so this is for him. Vale.
