Cubbyhouse (2001)
Another Henry James rip-off.
17 July 2004
This is "the turn of the screw" all over again.Jack Clayton made a classic out of it in 1961,with his "the innocents".He did not need any special effects (or so few) but the extraordinary black and white cinematography and Deborah Kerr's performance made it a winner.

"Cubby house" is a rehash of that story ,two possessed nice children in a place where crimes took place a long time ago.The actress who plays the mother was born in 1968,and her costar who plays her son Danny in 1975!This is really eerie ,not the movie.

This is the kind of stuff that has been done a thousand times or more.Do take "the innocents " instead:it must be available on DVD.
