The Others

Interesting. Good movie.

No problems

Creepy and interesting. In the end they tell you who the others are

Everything about this movie was perfectly done. From the beginning to the end o was in the edge of my seat!

It was fine. The was a little glitch here and the but, I love the movie.

The pace of the film is meant to be deliberate or elegiac or something, but it drags. However, it's well acted, and extremely well-crafted. If throw you enough hints that you think you'll have figured out the plot, only at the end you'll discover that you figured out one small piece of something much bigger. A very smart film.

Great plot twist! One of my favorite movies.

One of the problems with reviewing a film which has been out for awhile is that you want to go into detail on the plot, assuming that most everyone looking it up at this late date - in the case of "The Others", almost ten years after its original release - has seen it at least once, and is picking it up for a repeat viewing, a refresher viewing of sorts. But this one has been around long enough where a new audience may, in fact, be finding it for the first time, and so I will try my best not to give out any key surprises to the script, and instead defend it for what it is not - and it is not a horror flick. If you're looking for something that will make you cover your eyes, jump every five minutes or forego the popcorn and other treats because you're assuming the blood spattering and chainsaws will put you just a bit off your appetite, this isn't the movie for you. But this is a very quiet, unsettling film, and it does deliver a few truly unnerving scenes. It's been described in many other reviews as a psychological horror film, and while I agree with the former, I think viewers trying to decide whether or not they'll download/buy it should NOT pay attention to that description. Here's why: Nicole Kidman plays Grace, a woman living with her two children on a country estate in England during wartime; her husband has gone off to fight, and the children, Anne and Nicholas, are very ill with a rare disease which makes them allergic to sunlight. Grace and the children are alone until three servants arrive at the house to assist the family; perhaps it should be said that Grace believes she and her children are alone in the house. The servants are there for other reasons than to simply make lunch and keep the yard up, but Grace is unaware of this, busy worrying about unexplained happenings in the house, her daughter Anne drawing pictures of people she insists are in the house with the family, and the children's illness. In the meantime, Grace ventures outside and into the fog, only to encounter her husband, whom we now realize she had assumed was killed in service. The husband returns to the estate with Grace, but doesn't stay long, and the happenings become more intense, often and dangerous - the curtains are being pulled from the windows, exposing the children to deadly sunlight. Many, many other events occur which an astute viewer may be able to start piecing together,and things culminate with Grace going through the house with a shotgun in hand, the servants explaining why they are actually there, and the children being the key to Grace finally understanding who is who, what is what, and what has happened. Now: That's about as much as I can say without spoiling the film for first timers, but I think I have made my point: There is not one single scene in this film which I think qualifies it as a screamer or horror flick, but I'll say it again - this is one very, very creepy movie, and it is written, directed and acted so well (Alakina Mann, the young girl who plays Anne, hits one right out of the ballpark with her work), that you find yourself getting those tiny little chills up your back that so many movies advertise will be present, and instead you're met with tortured summer campers, buckets of blood and screaming that actually gets boring after awhile. It is a movie that has you thinking from word one, and as you follow what's on screen with the own opinion you're forming - What's really happening here? Who or what are The Others? What more is there to the children's allergy to light? - that when the film does reach its' conclusion, even if you were wrong, you're satisfied because you got knocked for a loop with the twist. I think that this is a great, great movie, and while it did fine in its' original release financially, it went ignored in the awards area in this country. It did, however, win many major awards in Spain, including Best Picture, which may suggest that our neighbors have a better understanding that too much is overkill, and that whispered threat is more effective than howling and chain rattling. The DVD has tons of extras on it, including a fascinating short about the illness noted in the movie, xeroderma pigmentosum, and a feature on director Alejandro Amenabar. Finally, it should be noted that Nicole Kidman does a fine turn as the mother, Grace, and I personally think that she should have been considered for the Oscar in this role, rather than the one (THE HOURS) that she actually won for. Great movie: Remember, please leave your axes, chainsaws and oversexed, screaming campers at the door!
