After leaving and turning out the lights, one of the dolls lifted its head.
Later, 11-year-old Flora (Amelie Bea Smith) sings a lullaby as a blurred figure behind her gasps for breath with bones cracking like a contortionist.
Unbothered, little Flora hushes the ghost.
‘Dolls, for children, are a way to play with representations of real people,’ Flanagan explained to Vanity Fair last week.Â

‘I think for kids, it’s about control. Kids have such little agency. Dolls provide that. But there’s also a darker side to it. Ownership, claiming someone, ceasing to look at them as a human, and instead, looking at them as an object, as a doll.’
The Massachusetts-born 42-year-old cryptically added: ‘The more attention a viewer focuses on Flora’s dollhouse, the more they’re likely to see what’s happening and why.’
The teaser also reveals a female ghost rising from a pond in the ensemble drama loosely based on Henry James’ 1898 horror novella, The Turn of the Screw.
E.T. alum Henry Thomas portrays the children’s emotionally-distant uncle Henry Wingrave and there’s also chef Owen (Rahul Kohli), groundskeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve), and housekeeper Mrs. Grose (T’Nia Miller) populating the estate.  Â
