At the Movies: The Turning and The Gentlemen – WTNH.com

(WTNH) The Turning is an arm-rest clawing take on the ghost story, The Turn of the Screw. Its set in the 1990s, so prepare yourselves for a Titanic reference, but probably not an Urkel one.

Mackenzie Davis, recently seen in the latest Terminator movie but way better in the indie Tully, stars as a nanny caring for two disturbed orphans with secrets in the type of enormous, terrifying mansion that makes movie-goers wonder why anyone would ever want to work there.

Steven Spielberg is on board as an executive producer, saying hes been wanting to make another scary movie for a while. If Spielbergs involvedscary? One word: Jaws.

The Gentlemen finds director Guy Ritchie back in his comfort zone after Aladdin, and with a heck of a cast: Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell. Was there really nothing for Statham?

McConaughey is an American who built a marijuana empire in London but now is looking to call it quits. A slew of guys who want said empire will do whatever it takes to get itas gentlemen, Guy Ritchies idea of one anyway.

The Gentlemen is rated R and The Turning is PG-13.
