Rating: Summary: Best since The Haunting Review: Being a die hard haunted house movie fan , this movie holds up well if not better that The Hautning from the early 60's. It stands out over the garbage that has been released in recent years like the remake of The Haunting, House on Haunted Hill and the recently dreadful 13 Ghosts.It moves intentionately slowly to build creepy suspence and anticipation. Kidman gives a great performance but the other supporting charaters are rich in their under playing of their parts.,Go see it, buy it and turnout the lights.......
Rating: Summary: BOO! Review: NO ONE that I know saw this ending coming! Think "The Sixth Sense" :at the end of the movie when all is revealed (very simply, but somehow we all missed it) and you're slapping your forehead going "DOH! I should've seen that!". Terror-rific thriller!!!
Rating: Summary: Beatifully crafted suspense Review: Welcome to the wold of Alejandro Amenabar (Open your Eyes) and the magic of his suspense. Beatifully crafted, this film will take you for a look through the other side of the mirror. With great storytelling and beautiful use of photography and color Amenabar takes us in a soft ride into the darkest corners of our fears. Little by little the director will take you into the story, building up the suspense and your mind with questions getting you ready for an incredible climax. Definitely a great ride.
Rating: Summary: Can I Give 6 Stars ?? Review: I have bought more than 100 DVDs online, but this's the first movie makes me write my review. THE OTHERS is a super wonderful movie I have ever seen. Actually, I saw it 4 times in theatre. The perfect story, perfect atmosphere, and the perfect ending. Nicole Kidman acts extremly well in this movie. If you haven't seen the movie, buy the DVD. I already pre-order the "A MUST BUY" DVD. I GUARANTEE you won't disappoint.
Rating: Summary: WOW!!! Great movie! Review: Wow, this was a totally awesome movie! It was suspensful, yet tasteful. It had a couple of "BOO" moments, but it makes it better. I recommend this to anyone.
Rating: Summary: The very best horror movie of 2001 Review: This film is really original, is not a normal horror movie, the performance of Nicole and the kids, the direction of Amenabar, and the dark house made this, my favorite movie of the past year.
Rating: Summary: it's just like... Review: ...this is a good movie, very good budget to box office ratio. Actually very successful...the music sounded like James Horner, the lighting looked like the man who cried, acting was like that movie exorcist, and the kids were like from that commercial, and the house was definitely from the english scene in pearl harbor...
Rating: Summary: "The Others, a Masterpiece" Review: "The Others" is a riviting suspence thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat until the end of the movie. Nicole Kidman is dazzeling, you can see the fear on her face the whole movie. This intense Drama/Thriller is definitely Oscar worthy. There are so many surprises in the film that it will have you guessing till the end...and you will probobaly guess wrong! When you leave the theater you will be talking about the film for days, "The Others" gives a whole new meaning to to the word "fear."
Rating: Summary: The Best Horror Movies in a Long, Long Time! Review: This is what horror moives are all about. No blood. No guts. No computer FX, just sounds, creepy atmosphere, and good acting to go along with a solid story. This is Nicole Kidman's 2nd work this year and it's safe to say I'm turning into a big fan of her work. She holds the movie together to say the lest. As for the story: Grace(Kidman) and her daughter and son live in a mansion during World War II and one day she hires 3 people to do some help around the house, ghost encounters and mishapes insues. And that's all I'm going to say about the story because the lest you know about it, the better. This movie had one minor flaw that could be said about it and that was the mid section. The moive actully builds up it's chaerchter and story...which I didn't have a problem with, but people with ADD might have. It's not for the impatient. The 2 disc DVD has a great audio score and many extras for movie buffs, fan of the movie, and DVD lovers to enjoy for many hours.
Rating: Summary: Wow! Review: Unfortunately if I'm not going to give anything away, then it's hard to explain this movie to you. I think everyone knows it's a ghost story. The movie stars Nicole Kidman who's the mother of two children, a boy and a girl. They have a huge manor in the English country side. Now I stop. If I tell you anymore I'll give it away. The family has some visitors, and it gets very chilling. This is an excellent representation of a haunting. If you've ever heard any ghost stories or seen ghost movies, the hauntings get rather unbelievable. This one will have you checking under your bed at night. Both my boyfriend and I jumped and screamed aloud a couple of times. If you don't scream, you'll at least jump. It'll have your blood pumping and on edge the whole way. If you like suspense you'll love this movie. It's a great date movie, if you want your girl to cling to your arm, and it's all around fun. For the children, I'd say it's a very clean movie. It's not gory at all, but it is scary. If your children get nightmares from movies I wouldn't take them, but if they like scary movies, by all means, bring them to this one. It's an adult kind of scary in that it makes you think and it's not just some ghost running around with a meat cleaver chopping heads off. If you want that there are plenty of cheap thrillers in the local video store. This one will have your spine crawling instead. This is for anyone who has sat up in bed at night to a thump and wondered what it was, or thought that just maybe they saw something move that shouldn't have. It's subtle, but that's why it's so good. I'd be very careful about letting anyone tell you the plot of the movie, just go see it. I don't think you'll be disappointed, I certainly wasn't. Suitability For Children: Suitable for Children Age 9 - 12
