Day 24Reflections on: The Nightcomers (1971)This is more of an erotic period psychodrama than a full-fledged horror.This is based on the same source material and could be seen as a sort of prequel to The Innocents (1961). This was directed by Michael Winner who also made The Sentinel (1977) which is far superior to this movie. You know this story is twisted as soon as the children ask for salt on their porridge instead of brown sugar. Marlon Brando has such a wacky accent it’s almost impossible to take him seriously. He sounds like a cartoon leprechaun. The nanny is played by Stephanie Beacham who also played Jessica Van Helsing in Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972). She’s got range!Marlon Brando’s character wears a rose hip in his lapel buttonhole. There are definitely some disturbing scenes in this but by far the scariest element is Marlon Brando’s accent. Also he makes a frog smoke a cigar. -- source link
