Summary: An o.k performance
Review: The others wasn't that scary, but it managed to leave you hanging. In the begining Everything is confusing, but that all ends when the real plot comes in. The old lady in the dress is what freaked me out the most aside from the dead people coming after the mother and children. Nicole Kidman did a excellent job in this movie, and I love her hair blond.

Summary: An enjoyable, intelligent film
Review: A subtle, moody haunted house film, starring Nicole Kidman as a mother of two small children who moves to a musty country house to wait out the final days of the First World War, which has taken her husband away. The house turns out to be a waystation for generations of ghosts; the script cleverly points out that haunting can work both ways. I went into this film with low expectations and found myself pleasantly surprised. Recommended!

Summary: brilliant
Review: The Others is a remarkable film. There is no crazed axe murderer. The are no car chases. There are no naked ladies and no lame jokes. In short, it's one of the few movies for grown folks that hit the theaters last year. Nicole Kidman gives a performance as Grace, the mother, that will stop people from saying, "Oh yeah, Tom Cruise's ex wife," once and for all. Kidman shows that she's an A-list actress and not just a gorgeous face. The character, Grace is a complicated woman. It's obvious from the first moment we see her that she's just barely hanging on. Her children have a life threatening condition and can not be exposed to sun light. Her daughter is angry with her. Her estate is lonely and no one ever comes to visit. Her husband is at war. Her nerves are shot and it's just a matter of time before she cracks. And then weird things start happening...Is someone trying to scare Grace or is she imagining all this?
The ending, which I won't give away completely shocked me. It's the last thing you'd expect and explains everything that's gone on in the film perfectly.
If you like your horror to be in the Shirley Jackson mode or if you're just a Kidman fan this movie is for you.

Summary: The children save this movie
Review: Nicole Kidman is a great and honest actress. She said she was embarrassed by her performance in this movie. I think she did a solid job in this movie, which goes to show what a professional she is. But the story of this movie is the kids. Their performances are priceless. Watch the movie for them. The ending is not really original, but it still works.

Summary: Very Creepy!!
Review: This is a very creepy, chilling movie! My dad actually had to shut it off when he ordered it on DIRECTV. So, I figured it would be worth buying it. I love the plot. There are also some really creepy parts on here. There's just something about little kids and ghosts that is very chilling! This is well worth your money!! Enjoy!!

Review: Plot is as predictable as the dawn. Nothing worth seeing.

Summary: A psychological mind-bender!
Review: Far from being just another ghost story, "The Others" sets out with its viewer to a completely unexpected and numbing finale with a psychological punch that remains long after the film ends. Relying on sight, sound and innuendo, the film doesn't need the hi-tech special effects of most films of its kind, and it's Nicole Kidman's understated emotional portrayal that carries "The Others" to their climatic detiny. Set in 1945 post-war Britain, Kidman and her two overly-protected children awaken from some unknown nightmare at film's start and inch in increasing fear toward their sacrificial end, that sacrifice being to madness. Kidman is magnificent as the controlling matriarch, and it's a tremendous compliment to her talent that she manages to keep the psychological pressure on through the entire film. Rest assured: there's no predicting the film's end, and its shock will remain. Now this is what a ghost story should be!

Summary: This movie was brilliant!
Review: With shades of M. Night Shyamalan and a story that rivals the best of Stephen King, this movie was thrilling, scary, and poignant. Kidman is amazing as a mother living on a remote estate on an island of the coast of England during WWII trying to care for her two children suffering from XP (they cannot be exposed to light). The children are marvelous. From the beginning is the sense that this woman is barely holding on, and then the weirdness begins. Kidman plays an excellent woman-on-the-edge. Wonderfully sophisticated supernatural thriller!

Summary: Excellent, excellent....scare the bajeezus out of you!
Review: I recently saw "The Ring" in the movie theathers and was rather disappointed. The biggest contrast I could think of when I was trying to explain the kind of scary movie that REALLY works is "The Others". Nicole Kidman is phenomenal in this performance! Her well-performed obssessive complusive character comes face to face with an environment she cannot control. It is this tension that makes the suspense so palpably desperate and thrilling. Alakina Mann steals the show with her precocious portrayal of Kidman's daughter Anne. She seems to embody the strength of the truth Nicole Kidman's character can't seem to come to terms with, and their adversarial relationship is entertaining and refreshing. The bonus feature DVD that accompanies this astonishing movie features behind the scenes information, including: - how special effects were superimposed into scenes
- Alejandro Amenabar's interactions with the actors
- an interest real-life documentary about xeroderma pigmentosum, the photosensitivity disease that the children in the movie possess
- rather boring stills from the movie All in all, this DVD is GREAT. The bonus features, although not 100% excitement, are good accompaniments to the feature. Great flick!
