The Innocents (1961)
6/10
Not bad - but disappointing ***SPOILERS***
10 October 2005
I like this movie - I don't love it. I think it's worth viewing for the overall creep factor but truthfully this movie pales in comparison to the Haunting which is a much better haunted house story. The acting in The Innocents is top-notch if a bit hammy. The ending is completely vague and is very unsatisfying. I wanted to see more of what happened. What happened to Flora? Why did Miles die? I don't object to vague endings per se, but this particular ending just felt like the director ran out of steam and said "cut" before a real ending could be captured. I know this movie has it's devoted following but I'm wondering if that following has seen the Haunting?
