FGFC Pick!

The rousing success of last month's Final Girl Film Club pick has gone completely to my head and now I'm mad with power! Mad, I tells ya! Sure, this power doesn't really do anything for me and it's all sort of vague and useless, but when I saw my elderly neighbor yesterday and she was all "Hello!"...man, you should have seen me. Yeah, I said "Hi, how are you?"...but I was thinking "Lady, you don't even know the power I wield. You. Don't. Even. KNOW."

Bah. I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore, and though all evidence may point to the contrary, I'm only high on life.

And crack.

And a little hooch- because nothing goes with crack like some nice hooch, I always say.

The point of all this is that it's time to pick the next film for our super club! Hooray! This time I'm keeping it classy. Behold: The Innocents!

Oscar-winning cinematographer Freddie Francis frames this creepy supernatural thriller adapted from Henry's James's novella The Turn of the Screw. When a young governess (Deborah Kerr) accepts a position supervising a girl and her brother in a lonely old house, she begins seeing things -- and the children start developing strange habits. Though she's convinced the house is haunted, its clouded history seems intent on keeping her in the dark.
I've read The Turn of the Screw, but I've never seen this movie. By all accounts it's phenomenal, so again...hooray!

You can find the film on Netflix right here. And yes, the due date is quite far off, but this is how it must be this go-round, my babies.

The movie: The Innocents
The date: June 18
