I vaguely remember seeing this on TV here many years ago. Very creepy and certainly OT, even though our strict nudity laws means I know nothing of any special scenes - they would have been cut out completely prior to
the telecast.

Well worth downloading.

I never saw more than 2.6% on Drako's link... a number of people are stuck.
I was, though, able to find an English version on Usenet:

Yes, Iván Noel's haunting hybrid of '
The Turn of
the Screw' and '
The Wicker Man'. Of course, we got it here:

(In fact we have pretty much all of his [sometimes] controversial films:

Not to hijack THIS thread, '
The Nightcomers' is an intriguing
prequel film for a very popular and oft remade tale. I holds to
the spirit of
the original, and you come to
the realization that Flora and Miles are NOT
the innocent children everyone mistakes them to be...
Despite being made in
the '70's and capitalizing on
the starpower [at
the time] of Marlon Brando, it's well worth a watch if you enjoy
the series. EVEN though Verna Harvey,
the actress playing
the character of Flora,
was 19 at the time of the films release..
I guess she HAD to be, due to a couple of scenes:

But she was cute, in a pug-nose sorta way:
