uses its genre frame to show the connectedness, curiosity and cruelty of its young characters, and also asks whether the inevitable loss of innocence at this age is a slate that can ever simply be cleaned.
Vogt has crafted a kind of extreme fairytale on the nature of being different, shorn of tidy lessons or happy endings - which may just be beginnings anyway.
The lonely, uncanny and sometimes unthinkingly violent world of childhood is explored with chilling candor and exceptional skill in writer-director Eskil Vogt's arthouse horror feature The Innocents.

This superior chiller is both a satisfying genre exercise and a minute observation of the process by which young children acquire morality...

A clever, engaging and often electrifying feature which straddles suspense and the arthouse in a tight and satisfying way.
A fascinating world-building and atmosphere management masterclass.
