Also watched 2020 adaptation of Henry James ghost story The Turn of the Screw "The Turning".
Any film adaptation will obviously be compared with the utterly sublime 1961 movie "The Innocents" and, therefore, my expectations weren't very high.
In that respect, I wasn't too disappointed.
The original story and 1961 movie were set in rural England (Essex I believe) and had a very English gothic vibe, whereas this version doesn't specify a location, but the children's American/Canadian accents were painfully obvious from the start.
The original was renowned for the sheer creepiness of Miles and Flora. Whilst young Brooklynn Prince puts in a good performance as the rather other-worldly Flora here, Finn Wolfhard (great name!) struck me as somewhat too old to play Miles. Instead of the disturbing old-beyond-his-years vibe of Martin Stephens in the original, Wolfhard plays Miles rather like a surly adolescent, with his electric guitar and drum kit, with a vibe straying dangerously close to Harry Enfield's Kevin and Perry sketch.
Lots of CGI shots, including the now obligatory ghastly but fleeting reflection in a mirror, cannot compensate for a disappointingly flat atmosphere.
The WTF ending will leave you feeling very short-changed too.
Maybe 3/10.
