Summary: A nice old-fashioned horror film1
Review: This movie represents the best of the horror genre and is a return to providing thrills without gore. The atomsphere is perfect for the movie as everything is the house is dark and gloomy and it is always foggy outside.I never really lost interest as the film was perfectly paced with just enough information to keep the viewer interested. Kidman was excellent and even the children were creepy (especially the girl). The whole movie was great and the ending fantastic!! Please rent or buy this movie because it is one of the best!

Summary: great movie, but a warning on the dvd
Review: Saw this creepy thriller last august and thought it was great. Nicole Kidman is great in this and Mouloin Rogue. There is a problem with this dvd disney told me that it is not competible with certain dvd players mainly Panasonic which is what both of my players are. Something to due with encrpetion copy protection that renders the bonus disc unreadable or as in my case the still gallery freezes and and you can't veiw the pictures. Disney said there are working on a solutiuon and that there will be a new disc soon. If you experience this problem call them at 1 800 723 4763 and report it. You may want rent this and make sure its competiable with your dvd player, although they needed the number of the batch located in the center of the information side of the disc, so maybe it will very am not sure. This is just a word of warning to people before they shell out 20 bucks to buy this and end up with a bonus feature disc that might as well not been included.still a great movie, explanation of stars 5 movie- 1 dvd= avarage= 3

Summary: A MUST SEE Movie!
Review: For those who love a great ghost story, The Others is an incredible movie. Having just finished it, this writer was duly impressed with both the plot and the atmosphere created by camera angle, background music and the superb acting. Frightening to say the very least. Borrowed elements of gothic horror, Victorian funereal ritual and a heady yarn spin this movie through to an astonishing and delicious twist, leaving you wide-eyed. A real delight for ghost lovers!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This movie was so full of unexpected twists and turns that it keeps you on the edge of your seat and ends with an ending that will suprise you. Even moi, the jaded movie watcher, jumped more than once (spilling popcorn all over the couch) during this movie. It does not rely on blood and gore to scare the wits out of you, instead it "messes with your mind" (as a friend of mine said). Quite frankly, Nicole Kidman should have been nominated for the Oscar for THIS performance--she pulled off the role of the "troubled mother" wonderfully. For anyone wanting a smart, stylish, scary movie (and I hate to use the words "scary" because it conjures up images of the '80s slash flicks), I would highly recommend it.

Summary: Hitchcock would be jealous!
Review: This is one of those movies that needs a bit of restraint in the review because it would be a shame to spoil that final plot twist that brings all the mystery together into a first rate ending. I'm usually suspicious of people who say things like that about movies or books, but in this case, as in the case of The Sixth Sense, it's definitely the truth. The Others reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock's movies in the way that one scene builds upon another scene and on and on until you're hooked and couldn't stop watching even if you wanted to. There's suspense, mystery, clues that seem to make no sense, wonderfully complex characters, and the perfect spooky and disturbing, yet beautiful, mansion in which the story all takes place. Nicole Kidman is very convincing and perfectly cast in the lead role of The Others. She is surrounded by an equally excellent supporting cast, particularly the boy and girl who play her children. But I think the main star of this movie is the house. I found it fascinating to go from room to room and observe what each one revealed about the people who lived there and the plot that was unfolding. I thought The Others was a unique movie that could certainly be compared to The Sixth Sense, but I think it stands alone as a creative and satisfying piece of work. I think the difference between these two films is that in The Others you can't be sure that anything is what it seems to be while in The Sixth Sense it is exactly what it appears to be. The trick is in how soon you figure out what that means. In my case, I had to wait for the ending.

Summary: Gobble, gobble....
Review: This little yawner proves what hype can do for a movie. I could hardly stay awake but managed to for the ending...which was apparent half way through and was almost worth the wait. I think Nicole Kidman actually DID phone this one in. If you like watching her stomping around, opening and closing doors, and yelling at servants and children, rent this bomb. You won't be disappointed. Two discs? Hilarious. The second went back to the vid store a virgin.

Summary: The Others
Review: The Others is an old-fashioned haunted house flick which doesnt use [junky] CGI effects to get scares out of the audience, *cough*, The Haunting (remake, im not insulting the original!). You got to respect that it doesnt use CGI! Anyways, this is a MUST buy 2 DISC DVD SET for all horror, and haunted house fans. This is Nicole Kidman's best performance, EVER! And, this movie doesnt have too much music, so its mainly performance-driven. I really think Hollywood is getting over the teenie-bopper faze it was going through. First, Jeepers Creepers brought back the 80s, Session 9, the 70s, and The Others, the 40s and 50s. Thats a good sign! Anyways, you MUST buy this movie! This film has plenty of scares ( imagine The Haunting (remake) with twice as many scares!) and suspenseful scenes, such as footsteps moving around, doors opening by themselves, etc. And, I must say the creepiest part of the movie was probably when Nicole was looking at the Book of the Dead, which showed old pictures of dead people dressed in black and white (brrr! creepy!) Overall, The Others is a supernatural, old-fashioned, haunted-house flick that deserves anyones time!

Summary: How about a review WITHOUT mentioning the SIXTH SENSE?
Review: Why must 90% of the reviews on this forum compare this film to the 6th sense? This movie is scores better than that tepid thriller. And besides, Sixth Sense never reinvented the wheel. I can name at least a dozen movies that have surprising endings, i.e. Vertigo, Witness For The Prosecution, Open Your Eyes, Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf...etc. etc. etc. I won't reiterate any of the other well versed reviews for this movie. I just had to state my feelings. This movie is an underrated masterpiece. It's interesting to see how much respect this movie gets with every passing day. BTW, since I mentioned Vertigo in the above paragraph, one must remember the lukewarm reception it recieved upon it's release. Look where it stands in the pantheon of Hollywood classics now!

Summary: Very Good
Review: The story is set in Jersey, one of the Channel islands; about a year and a half after Word War II. Nicole Kidman plays Grace, mother of two children Anne & Nicholas. Both of the children are photosensitive and can't have exposure to the sun. Grace's husband Charles went to war and hasn't come back, she's had no news from him. Grace is a person with strict Catholic ideals, however near the end she is left not knowing what to believe. Three people come to the house looking for work, Mrs. Mills, Lydia a mute (played by Elaine Cassidy from "Felicia's Journey" another good movie!) & Mr. Tuttle, Grace tells them all their servants left suddenly, not even taking their pay checks. Anne, the little girl insists there's a boy named Victor in the house, Grace doesn't believe in ghosts and Nicholas thinks she's just trying to scare him. In one scene we hear Victor's voice and see his hand, but left with the impression that it is perhaps just Anne trying to frighten her brother. Grace starts to hear voices, a child crying, doors opening, curtains opening, someone running back and forth over head, she first suspects it's the new servants, or perhaps some people have broken in, maybe she's just crazy...Anne told Mrs Mills that a while ago "mummy went mad". In my opinion "The Others" is a well crafted Psychological/Drama. With a good script, it's well casted, well acted & well directed by Alejandro Amenabar (who also wrote the music for the film)
