The Turn of the Screw
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, from the story by Henry James

Adapted from Henry James’ tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, when a new governess starts her position at an English Manor, she begins to see spectres that haunt the children and must find a way to stop them.
