ReviewsUSA Today - ...Kidman is rage to the sixth power....Masterfully shot..., Sight and Sound - ...Amenabar's expert script rings enough changes on genre conventions to keep aficionados guessing....[A] terrific thriller..., Total Film - ...Plainly there is more going on here than meets the eye....Sit back and enjoy the deliciously clammy chills..., Box Office - "...An absorbing ghost story with a twist ending of SIXTH SENSE proportions..." -- 4 out of 5 stars, Entertainment Weekly - ...The movie has a busy, throttling intensity that takes off from the elegant fury of Kidman..., New York Times - ...Mr. Amenabar's command of the syntax of fright is impressive....Ms. Kidman embodies this unstable amalgam with a conviction that is in itself terrifying..., Los Angeles Times - ...Elegantly and deliberately made, reeking of mood and creepiness, it relishes its atmosphere of genteel menace..., Variety - ...A luxuriously old-fashioned star vehicle custom fit to its topliner's strengths, which come across to sensational effect....A delicious goose-pimpler...

Additional InformationTHE OTHERS begins with a close-up of a woman screaming. By the time this intense film ends, everyone watching it will be screaming and gasping. Nicole Kidman stars as Grace, a woman raising two children by herself in a creepy mansion. World War II is over, but Grace's husband never returned. Meanwhile, the two children, Anne and Nicholas, must constantly stay in the dark because they are deathly allergic to light. Then one day, three people show up to take over for Grace's disappeared staff, and trouble starts to brew. The odd trio--an aging nanny, an elderly gardener, and a young mute girl--seems to have a slightly different agenda than Grace and the children do. But when Anne starts talking to strange, unseen people, the scares start building to an incredible climax.<BR>Alejandro Amenabar's highly stylized English-language debut is one of the finest films in the haunted-house genre. Not only did Amenabar write and direct the film but he composed the eerie music as well. Kidman is outstanding as the overprotective mother trying to save her children, while Fionnula Flanagan excels as the nanny with a deep, dark secret. Because the children must remain in darkness, Grace must lock every door behind her, to make sure that the children don't accidentally enter a brightly lit room; it is a marvelous horror-film device that Amenabar uses to perfection.

  • others

    Havent watched it yet saving for a good evening have watched film and thought it had an interesting narrative did not have the annoying undercurrent off consistent music often used as a link between scenes when no other form of continuity is evident. Lazy approach to film making when film producers are either to lazy or incapable of creating continuity without this.

  • Who turned the light on?

    I love this film.I really can't find a fault and when it plays with the lovely forgotten world an old school ghost story,even better. Watch it and take a break from the hectic world of gratuitous slash and nonsensical violence.
