The Innocents Reviews
The Dissolve
Tasha Robinson
Kerr's performance vibrates with complicated tension and vulnerability, as she communicates the internal life of a woman constantly at war with herself.
Variety
Variety Staff
Based on Henry James' story Turn of the Screw this catches an eerie, spine-chilling mood right at the start and never lets up on its grim, evil theme.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Too much Freud and too little thought.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Is it the finest, smartest, most visually savvy horror film ever made by a big studio?
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Sends some formidable chills down the spine.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Creepy, atmospheric happenings with effective direction + Deborah Kerr.
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
A brilliant, atmospheric supernatural thriller with a superb central performance by Deborah Kerr.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
This is a space with ample room for both the living and the dead.
Cinefantastique
Steve Biodrowski
...sends shivers down the backbone, playing the vertebrae like a skeletal hand tapping on a xylophone.
DVDJournal.com
Mark Bourne
It sneaks under your skin, subtly and suggestively portraying something sinister and perverse that may exist only in the protagonist's head, but that doesn't mean it can't mess with yours.
Windy City Times
Richard Knight
That rare ghost story that fires on all cylinders: it's tremendously acted, sensationally photographed in deep-focus black and white, sumptuously produced and, best, genuinely frightening.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...creates an appropriately spooky tone that builds slowly, incrementally, until it reaches a shattering conclusion.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Wonderful adult horror, stylishly well-made and frightening on a couple of levels.
ESplatter
Steve Biodrowski
This unresolved mystery charges the events ... with a dreadful sense of uncertainty far more thrilling than the simple supernatural chills of a typical haunted house movie -- another "turn of the screw," as James would have said.
TIME Magazine
If the picture is journeyman James, it is also pitapatational entertainment, the most sophisticated scare show since Diabolique.
TV Guide
Kerr is on top form here, enacting a role that takes perfect advantage of her respectable facade wrestling with unspeakable turbulence beneath the surface.
