Synopsis

No, no—there are depths, depths! The more I go over it, the more I see in it, and the more I see in it, the more I fear. I don’t know what I don’t see—what I don’t fear!

After the unfortunate deaths of their parents, young Miles and Flora are left to live with their uncle. Unable to care for the children himself, the uncle hires an unnamed governess as caretaker for the children. Absorbed in his own affairs, the uncle grants the governess full authority over the supervision of the children at his country estate named Bly Manor — but Bly Manor has its own secrets, and the governess begins to see supernatural beings. The line between sanity and insanity blur with each passing day.

Henry James took a different approach to the traditional ghost story commonly found in the late 19th century, and his gothic horror novella The Turn of the Screw has inspired many notable horror and psychological thrillers since its publication.
