Directed by Floria Sigismondi, The Turning tells the story involving more than 100 years of a profoundly haunting tale passed down to terrify audiences.

The movie begins at a perplexing estate in the Maine countryside, where newly appointed nanny Kate, played by MacKenzie Davis, is charged with the care of two disturbed orphans, Flora and Miles, played by Brooklynn Prince and Finn Wolfhard. Soon enough, she learns that both the children and the house are withholding dark secrets, and things may not be as they seem.

Inspired by Henry James’ landmark novel, the haunted-house thriller is a spellbinding tale written for the screen by Chad and Carey Hayes. Davis’ acting talents include Tully and Terminator: Dark Fate. Wolfhard’s talents began with Stranger Things. Brooklynn Prince is a newcomer while Joely Richardson starred in Red Sparrow and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The soundtrack is a bit off, but the movie looks scary enough for horror fans.
