Creepy TV Spot For The Upcoming Horror Film THE TURNING
We’ve got a new trailer to share with you for Amblin’s upcoming horror film, The Turning, which is based on the 1889 Henry James novel The Turn of the Screw. That’s a great story and this looks like it’s going to make for a creepy ass film.
The film stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate) as a nanny who ends up working in a haunted mansion. The two kids that she is looking over, who are played by Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) and Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project), seem like they are pretty messed up. Here’s the synopsis:
At a mysterious estate in the Maine countryside, newly appointed nanny Kate (Mackenzie Davis) is charged with the care of two disturbed orphans, Flora (Brooklynn Prince) and Miles (Finn Wolfhard). She quickly discovers that both the children and the house are harboring dark secrets and things may not be as they appear.
The film was directed by Floria Sigismondi, and when previously talking about this new take on the story, she explained, “We’ve taken this story, and modernized it, and placed it in the 1990s. It follows a nanny who is looking [for] a life change, and when she arrives at the house she meets two orphans, Flora and Miles. They start to act a little strange and she senses that they’re harboring a secret, that they’re hiding something from her. She quickly realizes that there’s something wrong in the house.” Sigismondi also said that that the ’90s setting allowed the film to “take away the technology and really drown yourself in the environment.”
The Turning opens in theaters on January 24, 2020.
