Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

M MALIK I would have to say it here that if anything is not true itself falls looking at this film was a difficult experience i can see why so many people hated it the this does not fit into the horror or suspense genre either,its surprising that something made for critics is seen first by people i have seen this film today i got the DVD lying in my collection it was packed now i wish it was remained sealed i don't know if it direct to DVD or not but if it was theatrical release my prayers are with all the audience members i can imagine how hard it was for them to sit through this pain,it is one of the worst adaptations of the most important novella the turn of the screw by Henry James.There is a film Nicole Kidman did in 2001 i guess its way better then this,this film killed everything i mean it was going good suspense wise until it take the viewer for granted and the main character collides with itself i am talking about the character Anna it is intentionally serious for no reason why is that my i ask what was the writer thinking was it on purpose to just kill of the big buildup to the a great climax.The Plot:Anna Veigh gets a job of a nanny to handle two kids who are orphans the place she is staying is at country side soon sometime after Anna feels that the place might be haunted & might be linked to the death of her predecessors,are the children involved in it or is it her imagination the answers lies in this film.The Cast:impressive cast id loved Tara Fitzgerald & Leele Sobieski was just amazing to look at shes got a nice body and talent of good dialog delivery i wonder why she is not famous.There is a lesbian scene here and an orgasm scene here but don't let this fool you its only one minute of it this is not some soft core stuff so beware.Overall In A Dark Place 2006 should be watch alone in a jungle avoid watching this with family this will bore you out my rating is 3/10.Skipp It.

mgurbada909 The idea behind this movie wasn't terrible-a retelling of the classic psychological horror story "The Turn of the Screw", only, let's remove all of the ambiguity from the the character of the Governess, and make her an overt nutter suffering from childhood trauma. There are no ghosts- Little Miles and Flora are threatened by their crazy delusional governess. BUT, the movie falls flat on its face- bad acting, bad direction, bad script, bad editing...Leelee is particularly disappointing- has she given a good performance as an adult? The four points are for LeeLee's breasts (they are easily worth two a piece!) Want a good "haunted house" scare? See instead- "The Innocents", "The Haunting" (the original, not the remake), "The Uninvited" (best séance scene in history), and, most recently, "The Orphanage".

etjaipleure Complete remake, even uses the same names, as Henry James' most popular story, "Turning of the Screw". This movie was not very good, IMO. It doesn't really follow the storyline well, there's no real "ending" or meaning, there's no resolution. It's unsatisfying.I saw Lee Lee on the cover and thought it would at least be decent. It's very odd and there were strange sexual themes, which are in James' story, but I guess seeing them play out like that, it was a little more disturbing. Lee Lee seems so blase about everything. Like she is just drifting along and she could really care less about what happens to the children. Although, she does seem to feign some interest, it's not enough to make you care when one of the children dies. I would recommend reading the story. You get pulled in and the characters are more in depth.

breaandmelsteele I agree this movie can be a little confusing but if you love "The turn of the screw", then this movie will make perfect sense and you'll most likely love it. I do agree, it's not a movie for everyone and if you compare it to todays horror standards, it won't hold up. Just to give anyone who hasn't seen it an idea of what the movie is like, imagine a classic black and white horror movie that was remade by David Lynch (Lost Highway). It's a bit creepy, often makes no sense, you get the feeling that your simply watching a person lose their mind, but you're watching it from their point of view. Thats the best way I can think to describe it. Enjoy!
