I have seen worse movies, but nevertheless it is the hundredth adaption of "The Turn of The Screw"!

New adaption of "The Turn of The Screw"
Predictable
In good thrillers like "Deep Red" by Dario Argento, you probably don't see it coming until the very end. When you know exactly how a movie is gonna end by the 20th minute or so, it can't be much of a "thriller". That said, music and atmosphere would be the only points worth saving here.
Slow and boring
I knew this was going to be a huge low budget stinker in the first scene where you see the same extra walk by in the campus background multiple times. He's wearing a blue shirt and he walks left in one shot, and in the next shot there he is walking right and there he goes again in another shot crossing the other way lol. Surely they could've hired a couple of more extras back there!
After that it hilarious scene was extremely slow moving when the girl started to nanny the kids in the big old house. Nothing if interest happens for well over an hour that I decided enough was enough and fast forwarded to the climactic end scene, but even that was dull and lifeless too.
Some of these Lifetime flicks are fun in their over the top absurdity, but there was none of that here. It was all a big serious bore with nothing to even make fun of to keep myself entertained.
If you skip this one....you'll be missing nothing. 1 star for possibly being the most boring Lifetime film ever made.
