“Never saw this everyone says this is a great scary movie and I've never seen it...”

Phil Rosenthal

Robert Eggers director

“The Innocents is by Jack Clayton. This is one of my favorite films. I watch it, like, twice a year, probably. I love Freddie Francis, the cinematographer... His work with Jack Clayton is, I think, his best work. I feel like they really pushed each other to have the most sophisticated and elegant staging... Awesome movie if you haven’t seen it. Your imagination is on fire with the disturbing shit that you don’t see. It’s awesome.”

Robert Eggers
