I was introduced to this story in the 1960's with the version called "the innocents". it is still the best and most accurate version out there. it gave me many sleepless nights as a child. i read the book in my teens, later studied it in university literature classes. one of the most relevant things in the story is the ending. the movie is all about quint and his influence over miles. that does not come thru in this movie much at all. yet another adaptation that adds things that were never there and takes away some of the most important parts. if you really want to see what this story is about, and how powerful it is, what "the innocents". after 50 years it is still be best version ever made. subsequent ones butcher the ending. this one basically ignores the real ending and adds mental illness instead. the 1st half of this one was promising but it (again) has let down the author in a terrible fashion
