I still remember the old black and white movie "The Innocents" and how it scared the life out of me when I was young. It was the spookiest thing I'd ever seen, mainly for the atmospheric direction and how the mystery unfolded as each minute passed.

Watching this new version, I can only describe it as a mess. None of the newer versions have managed to live up to that spooky old classic, although I think the young boy in this version gave a very fine performance regardless.

It actually sent me to sleep within minutes!
