Film's I watched part 1: The Innocents

7/1/2019

0 Comments

 
The Innocents is a British Horror film from 1961, it is an adaptation of The Turn of The Screw by Henry James

Genre- horror, suspense thriller

Clip of where it is Brilliant- 

It'd be great for a comparitive study in the genre of horror, especially looking at use of sound or literary adaptations.

You can see a great number of horror tropes here-
  • Sound collage (the use of sound design in this film is amazing.)
  • Old Manor Houses
  • Issolation
  • Vengeful spirits/ possessed children (or are they)
  • Peadophobia
  • Long dark coridors
  • Jump scares
  • long camera shots held on the protagonists to build suspense

The film being in black and white gives it a better depth of field than a colour film (this is 1961, it could have been made in colour, although most British films in this era were blakc and white as it was cheaper and also seen as more artistic)
