Since the music start to play it’s possibile to get into the scary-mood of the movie. The innocents will quickly shows you how to be caught by the suspense second by second in an escalation of fear. I must admit that it is easy to excite the audience when the mystery hovers around two young characters but it’s not easy, as well, to create an original plot. A haunted house, mysterious deaths, shadowy figures that appear every now and then. A little tune as catchy as scary will bring you in a journey to the past, where horror movies where not only made to scare in an elegant way but also created in order to follow a psychological trend of the events giving you hope in finding a meaningful connection. The work of Jack Clayton has been inserted in the list of the 10 best movies of 1961 by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures just behind “West Side Story”, how could we disagree?
