Yes, I liked that movie very much. I think it came out one year before. Wasn't little Martin blonde in that movie?
"The Innocents" is full of scenes that make me shudder. In addition to Miss Jessel's first appearance on the lake, the scene near the end when Miss Giddens and Miles are alone and Miles is first acting like a sweet little boy, wiggling his chubby little toes, and THEN he kisses her goodnight. The look on her face. Oh, that was soooo unnerving. Immediately I thought,
that is not Miles,
that is Master Quint!
And such graceful dialogue and gorgeous cinematography. Deborah Kerr is magnificent. It is the perfect movie.

Yes. He and all of the other children had blond hair. Granted, he didn't have a huge part in TVOTD, but he was terrifying, none the less.
that kiss is one of the things most people mention when talking about this movie. It does make you wonder if the children were possessed.
I love that this story keeps people wondering.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Pamela Franklin as Flora was very good, too. (Flora is such a pretty name.) It's just that her role did not call for quite the same intensity as the boy's role.
Both children were thoroughly charming. It was cute when Flora turned a pin cushion into a hat!

She was a beautiful little girl.
It's just that her role did not call for quite the same intensity as the boy's role.
I agree. Her hysterics and crying were mostly heard from the other room.

There have been much better performances from child actors in horror films than those you've listed.
How come they are all female child actors on your poll? Do they do something for you?
You have often cited your excitement for Danielle Harris.

It's compulsive and while he does have disorders issues, he doesn't seem to want to help himself.
If Rocks has an obsession with something, he has to promote it and doesn't know his boundaries.
If he's medicated, it shouldn't be happening.

Biden is a weirdo, but in my early old age, I've come to the conclusion that all politicians are weirdos.
Did you ever see the clip where Biden talks about how he loves all the children and likes it when they run up to him and feel the yellow hairs on his legs.
It was honestly startling.
