The Turn of the Screw (2009 film): The Turn of the Screw (also known as Ghost Story: The Turn of the Screw) is a British television film based on Henry James's 1898 ghost story of the same name.  Commissioned and produced by the BBC, it was first broadcast on 30 December 2009, on BBC One.  The novella was adapted for the screen by Sandy Welch, and the film was directed by Tim Fywell.  Although generally true to the tone and story of James's work, the film is set in the 1920s—in contrast to the original 1840s setting—and accentuates sexual elements that some theorists have identified in the novella.

Ann tells how she was hired by an aristocrat (Mark Umbers) to care for the orphans Miles (Josef Lindsay) and Flora (Eva Sayer).  She is met at the children's home, Bly, by Mrs Grose (Sue Johnston), the housekeeper.  Ann soon begins to see unknown figures around the manor, and seeks an explanation.
