SUN 30 Mar • Gothic Dreams and Nightmares Double Bill THE INNOCENTS (12A) 1.45 (UK 1961) dir. Jack Clayton. 100m. Deborah Kerr, Michael Redgrave, Peter Wyngarde. One of the greatest of ghost stories, Henry Jamess ‘The Turn of the Screw’, is transformed into a brilliant cinematic piece of psychological horror. An impressionable and repressed governess becomes convinced that her two young charges are possessed by the perverse spirits of her predecessor and her lover, both of whom met with mysterious deaths. Its a veritable masterpiece of suggestion and ambiguity. Trailer: https://youtube/watch?v=aOsF0S65RR0 + THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (12A) 3.45 (US 1955) dir. Charles Laughton 93m. Digital. Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish, Billy Chapin, Sally Jane Bruce. An extraordinary parable of good vs evil that combines stark realism with Germanic expressionism, and features Robert Mitchums amazing performance as preacher Harry Powell, searcher of widows with children who know where the money is hidden. Evil abounds and children must bear its brunt, but, as the beautifully radiant Lillian Gish says, They abide, they endure. And, so does THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. £10/£8 Concs/£6 Under 15’s/£28 family ticket
