My high expectations may have skewed my impression of this movie. I especially enjoy old atmospheric ghost stories, but I felt there were too many holes in this one and I really did not like the ending. The governess (in my opinion) seemed to jump to conclusions without really letting the viewer in as to why. I have never read the book and plan to do so. I expected more from the Truman Capote script. The cinematography by future Hammer director Freddie Francis was excellent. There was a high "creepy" factor. Fans of "The Haunting", "Village of the Damned" or "Curse of the Demon" will want to give this one a try.
