A well-shot and well-acted adaptation of The Turn of the Screw, Floria Sigismondi‘s The Turning was skewered by critics for its abrupt non-ending, which sent everyone out of the theater on a sour note and essentially undid all the good will the film had earned up to that point. It’s a bummer, because a better ending would’ve changed the conversation completely.
Sigismondi recently teased that another version of an ending was shot, and we’ve learned this week that the alternate ending will be included on the upcoming home video release.
The Turning will be released on Digital on April 7 and DVD/Blu-ray on April 21.
Special Features include:
- “Behind The Turning” featurette
- Alternate ending
- Deleted scenes
