The Turn of the Screw
Film (Trailer) – 2020
This is, after all, a horror story.– Richard (Ralph Johnson) to Julia (Greer Phillips)
I have always been a great fan of period and gothic horror, and was very interested in doing an adaptation of one of the great gothic horror mysteries of all time...– Writer/director Alex Galvin on adapting Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw
To my mind it is the finest work he has ever done ... looking back upon the tale when one has finished it, one instinctively compares it to a beautiful pearl: something perfect, rounded, calm, unforgettable.– Henry Wysham Lanier in a review of Henry James' original novella, The American Monthly Review of Reviews, December 1898
