Screen sensation Nicole Kidman (MOULIN ROUGE, EYES WIDE SHUT) delivers an utterly unforgettable performance in this scary and stylish suspense thriller. While awaiting her husband's return from war, Grace (Kidman) and her two young children live an unusually isolated existence behind the locked doors and drawn curtains of a secluded island mansion. Then, after three mysterious servants arrive and it becomes chillingly clear that there is far more to his house than can be seen, Grace finds herself in a harrying fight to save her children and keep her sanity. Acclaimed by critics everywhere, the unpredictable twists and turns of this compelling hit will keep you guessing as it keeps you riveted to the edge of your seat!

Customer Rating:      Summary: Through the Looking Glass...Darkly Comment: Brilliant. Not only well acted and haunting but something entirely original. Most ghost stories follow predictable scripts but not this one. It leaves the viewer guessing about the nature of reality...past, present, future, life, death...what's what and who's who?
My congratualations to the director and actors. This is a film worth watching.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Holy crap! What a great movie! Comment: Nicole Kidman is a the top of her form in this thrilling ghost story. The ending is worth watching what may seem like a slow paced movie. The settings and backgrounds are both spooky and magnificent. Wow, what a fantastic ending. I'm almost speechless. For details, read the lengthy reviews.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The light, the light! Comment: "The Others" takes place on Jersey, one of the British islands in the English Channel which was occupied by the Germans in World War II. It's a scary movie with devastating secrets and a story reminiscent of Henry James's "Turn of the Screw", but this plot has more chills. Nicole Kidman, playing a widow, does a superb job of acting in this movie, and everyone involved is excellent. A creepy old mansion is constantly dark within; the drapes are always drawn because Kidman's young son and daughter are severely sensitive to sunlight.
The photography and atmospherics are wonderfully done. The three servants who just show up at the door and whom Kidman hires foreshadow bad stuff to follow. Kidman is constantly locking and unlocking inside doors in the big house which lacks electricity and phones. The suspenseful isolation becomes a part of the gripping film with its ghosts and Gothic horrors. Kidman plays the cold, forbidding role of the mother who frightens her own children with her fears and her piousness.
Isolate the principals, shut out the sun, bring in the fog, shake in some supernatural elements, and voilá, a fine movie.
