Summary: Every second is interesting and important!
Review: Those Sixth sense fans have waited about 2 years for a similar movie and they've got their wish. One of my favourite movies of 2001, the Others is very interesting. It's a must-see. You won't be yawning as you watch it. This is definitely Nicole Kidman's best work yet. I didn't know she could act like this. It's a tense and a surprising story. It's not a complete copy of the sixth sense. It gives you a lot of detail and it has a fascinating plot. It's not a movie where you can easily guess what's happening. It's a great mystery that almost everyone would love. The chills and thrills it gives you makes it more suspenseful. It's some of 2001's best directed movies. It's a complete story (no major mistakes). It revolves around Kidman whose husband is off at war and she has to live with her two kids who're allergic to sunlight. Three workers than come into the story as Kidman's daughter reveals that she's been talking to a somebody who's very different from them. Is that somebody alive or dead? As these thoughts are being concentrated around kidman's head she begins to explore the house to find things she never knew were in the house. It's a great story. It has something for all those Sixth sense-The haunting lovers. I highly recommend it. It's a creative piece of work that pulls you towards the edge of your seat! ---Ahmed Mashhood

Summary: Extremely chilling, creepy, and well-done
Review: The Others is probably one of the best horror movies I've seen. Actually, I don't even know if I'd call it horror. There wasn't any blood or disgusting stuff, but it did keep me scared on the edge of my seat, twitching every time I heard the suspenseful music start up again. With the music, you always knew when something would happen. The ending is creepy, but a lot of people thought it seemed kind of obvious and stupid. No matter. The cast does a good job in the atmospheric setting, which somehow makes it seem more real. Nicole Kidman gives one of her best performances as a religious and over-protective mother of two children who are hypersensitive to light. The children did a good job as well. Another factor adding to the creepy atmosphere was the house. They live in an old, large house that is the perfect setting. A lot of time was spent on set decoration for the house. It works, too, as their home seems more like a haunted house site than a place you'd want to live in. All in all, this is an excellent film with strong acting, cinematography, and production values. Rent it if you liked The Sixth Sense or The Exorcist.

Summary: an EERIE TALE WHERE NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS.
Review: (REVIEW BASED ON THE FEATURE, DISC 1 OF 2) AFTER SEEING THIS FILM IN THE THEATER, I KNEW I WANTED IT FOR MY DVD COLLECTION. NICOLE KIDMAN PLAYED HER ROLE VERY WELL.. NOT GIVING ANY HINTS AS TO WHAT WE ARE IN FOR. THE FLAWLESS SURPORTING CAST ADD TO THE CHILLS AND SURPRISES. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANY MOVIE LOVER. IT IS AMONGST THE BEST MOVIES OF THE PAST YEAR. THERE ISN'T ALOT I CAN SAY WITHOUT SPOILING IT FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T SEEN IT. BUT LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE SAID, IT DOES HAVE A REWARDING TWIST OF AN ENDING THAT YOU WON'T EXPECT.

Summary: What Hog wash...
Review: This movie was strange and badly written. Nicole Kidman needs to get better movie roles then this.
Rating: 
Summary: period piece with a twist of lime
Review: certainly a good movie and Nicole Kidman puts in an excellent performance but I felt I'd already been through all this with the sixth sense. otherwise, a good film. if you're interested in this genre of after death movies, see Waking Life! much more thought provoking than the rest.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Any movie that has an ending that proves me wrong is a great movie. Great Ending.

Summary: Classic ghost story with a kick
Review: When I am in a bragging mood, I like to mention that I usually get the plots of ghost stories and mysteries right away. This story, a classically sketched not-too-obvious ghost story, is worth every minute you spend trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Kidman plays the main character in a creepy, pale, pretty-sure-she's about to crack manner which shows she's a lot more than a pretty face. Her kids are both scary and sad, and the three servants who come to work, and eventually prove the key to solving the whole mystery, (not really a spoiler) are funny at times and disturbing at others. This is one of the best Victorian-style stories, read-around-the campfire movies I've seen in years. It doesn't go in for the usual "gore factor" that a lot of movies dealing with the supernatural seem to think we all need. It's suspenseful enough that when a friend of mine jumped at a scene, I too shared that moment of spine-tingle and goosebumps on the base of my skull. And in the end, I did not feel cheated by the story.

Summary: Dark, dismal and weird.
Review: I agree with the other reviews concerning Ms. Kidman's performance. I really do love to watch her in action. I just didn't see much action. This movie was well done, however, I felt like I was being tortured very slowly over a luke warm fire. I just knew that the story would drop the other shoe at any moment, but it never seemed to deliver. Performances were all very well done by the entire cast. The mansion was spooky, but horribly empty. No woman would live there with her two children, so immediately you are set up knowing the woman was not quite right. Plus, why in the heck would she lock every single door she went through since the kids never seemed to be overly active. I kept trying to figure why she would need to hire servants when it looked like she needed the money to earn money herself, just to buy furniture. That stays in your mind for the first quarter of the movie. I kept waiting (and hoping) for a crazy cousin to be found in the atic. Don't get me wrong, I love horror and/or suspense movies, but this one made me feel like the energy vampire had bit me for the third time.

Summary: Excellent movie
Review: What made this movie so scary/freaky, is there was no blood and gore. It had you sitting on the edge of your chair the whole entire time. I have these "experiences" in my home. Ghosts, spirits, spooks, whatever you must. It was especially freaky for me. If you want a good thriller movie, this is one to watch. Along with Sixth Sense and What Lies Beneath, this movie is one of my favorite freaky movies. The only dumb thing in the whole movie was when the husband said, "Sometimes I bleed." Where in the world did that come from? I laughed out loud at that part, but for everything else, my heart was hammering the whole time.

Summary: WORTH THE WAIT!!
Review: I'm not talking about waiting for the DVD..but rather the ending! Can't say much about it, but just know- I had goosebumps for hours after leaving the theater. Kidman is a one-man show. She can pull of a rather long movie, with subtle dialog and it never seems to be annoying( for the most part). Yes, the movie slacked slightly in places that the editing scissors could have helped, but I put her on a pedestal with Tom Hanks. Like him, in "Cast Away", Kidman has very long scenes and moments of awkward silence that most actors couldn't pull through. She does. It's her chemistry with her character Grace. Her hair, her costumes, her accent. It's perfect and very reminiscent of Hitchcock. I rarely found myself noticing anything around me while watching this film. I think this movie will keep the beautiful redhead from being typecast throughout her career.
Just a tad about the plot. (You really don't want to know much at all)
As the audience we are fascinated by Grace, her huge, very sparse home, her children who have an allergy to light, and the claustraphobia from the curtains always being closed. Her children, she explains, must never see the light, or they will die. This aspect alone makes you cringe with fright because, well, everything goes bump in the night...or perhaps in the constant dark.
Grace hires some house/lawn keepers that appear on her doorstep looking for work..and so the plot begins to develop and unfold. So is it scary? YUP!
Does it help to turn the volume down? NOPE!
I personally recommend a fabulous pillow to sink your face into while enjoying "the Others" My only reason for giving the movie four stars is because like the movie "Memento"(a GREAT movie), I can not deny there are some scenes that seem to drag a bit to long . But, like, "Memento" even those annoying moments are all worthwhile. Figuring out the meaning of the title, "The Others" is much like the deeper multi-conscious meaning of the name "Memento" The title is a prize at the end of the film. On a footnote: this DVD has some of the best documentary footage I have ever enjoyed watching. The cast/crew/director all let us spy behind the makings of "the Others" on a very personal level. It was definitely worth watching.
I have seen this movie three times. It has replay value. I never seem to get enough of the story and secret plot twists. So, as a reviewer, I must say it's one to keep. Besides, with all the heart-stomping moments, it's a good aerobic workout
