In a Dark Place

In a Dark Place is a 2006 horror film version of Henry James' 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw.

The headmaster makes inappropriate advances, touching her leg and putting his arm around her as he informs her that she is on "the wrong track".

Later, the headmaster calls and leaves a message on her answering machine in which it is revealed that she has been fired and something has occurred in the office that he wishes to "keep secret".

Her new workplace is Bly House, a remote country estate with beautiful grounds and a small resident staff.

Miles and Flora, the children, seem sweet and charming, if a little strange, and Anna thinks that she has really "landed on her feet" after the rigors of her previous job.

To add to her unease, Anna begins to catch glimpses of unknown sinister figures lurking in the grounds, but nobody else admits to seeing them.

While they later sleep together that evening, it is apparent on Anna's face that she is shocked by the estate manager's physical attention and feels that she is again being abused just as when she was a child.

Anna's hallucinations about having multiple threesomes and foursomes, and therefore her emotional breakdown continues, and Miss Grose once again tells her to leave.
