Based on a book, the movie is about a young Governess, Miss Giddens [Kerr], who is hired to take care of two orphaned children. Their uncle hires Miss Giddens to raise them on his country estate with complete freedom so that he may go about his city life without them as a burden. We learn from a maid that the former governess died and that she was having an affair with the valet, who is also dead. Miss Giddens becomes convinced that the souls of the dead lovers have possessed the two children and she intends to do her own exorcism.
The scary part of the film is that you are never entirely sure if she is nuts or if they are really possessed. We see the same ghosts that she does and the kids to act pretty bizarre, but we never get the comforting feeling that we understand what is really going on. Honestly a black and white Victorian era film is boring to me to begin with, so the ghost story wasn't enough for me to really like this film. It was just ok.
