Synopsis
The Nightcomers (1972) is a British psychological horror film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Michael Winner. It serves as a prequel to Henry James's novella "The Turn of the Screw," set in the period before any ghosts arrive at the manor. Marlon Brando plays Peter Quint, the groundskeeper — a man whose hold over everyone around him feels more dangerous than anything supernatural.
Two orphaned children, Miles and Flora, watch the relationship between Quint and governess Miss Jessel from the edges. What they absorb — about power, desire, punishment, and devotion — quietly warps them. Winner never explains the children's interior logic. He lets it show instead.
Brando makes Quint neither monster nor victim, just a gravitational pull that bends everything toward him. The film earns its dread without a single ghost in frame. Stream The Nightcomers (1972) online on iFILM.
