The Turn of the Screw

A young governess arrives at an isolated English house to care for two children, but their behaviour begins to suggest that something darker is present. Determined to protect them, she becomes increasingly consumed by the possibility of supernatural danger, while the story keeps open a more troubling alternative: that the threat may lie in her own perception.

Psychological suspense built around uncertainty, with the story repeatedly unsettling the boundary between an external supernatural threat and the governess’s own increasingly fearful perception.
