Summary: Great film with a moronic ending...
Review: How does hollywood continue to crank out these films that are so great up to the end, and then let us down big time? Great performances, breathtaking settings, creepy lighting and terrific dialogue that really, really draws you into the storyline. BUT, if you have seen either "The 6th Sense" or " What Lies Beneath?" you have seen this ending before. In reflection, this movie only leaves you with more questions which it never answers instead of tying up all the loose end in the finale. Instead see:"The 6th Sense", " What Lies Beneath?", "Ghost Story", "Dust Devils", "The Prince of Darkness", "Evil Dead 2", "Dead Dudes in the House", Hellraiser (part 1 or 2), "Ticks" or "From Beyond" if you really want to turn out the lights and have a real fright!

Summary: a Poor Man's 6th Sense
Review: this film was fairly easy to predict how things would go after the first half hour.it wasn't long before I felt this film was a 6th sense clone.Nicole Kidman is easily one of the Most-Overrated folks in the Acting Business Ever.She brings no Emotion to me in Her Work.She is a ALright Actress but not worth all the Hype She gets.

Summary: Good, Predictable, But Good With a Surprize Ending
Review: This movie was really good. I would say scary, but somehow, I managed to watch the whole movie, without jumping. Some parts gave me the chills and all, but I didn't get scared enough to jump out of my seat. It was kind of predictable, though. I mean, when I saw those people walking to the house in the beginning, I knew they were dead already. And I knew there had to be a reason why the mother was so religious, 'cause no one tries to use religion to scare kids like that (except my third grade teacher, but thats a different story.) But, if there was one thing that I didn't suspect, it was the ending. It was a nice twist. I'm not gonna say what it is, but you can probably figure it out already.

Summary: Haunted by other, better flicks
Review: I wanted to like this horror flick. It started out well enough: a subtle, slow-burn build-up of the tension, low-key camera work, no intrusion of loud and melodramatic music. Nicole Kidman (looking remarkably like Grace Kelly) plays a very uptight, bible-obsessed mom of two kids who, vampire-like, can't be exposed to sunlight - hence the shadowy setting for the movie. The enigmatic servants arrive at her isolated English house, the place seems to be haunted, she neurotically locks the doors. So far so good.
But - and this is a really big but - the attempt at a scary socko finale falls flat enough that you could slide it under a door. Let's not mince words, if you've seen "The Sixth Sense", your reaction to this movie will be "Seen it!" What's more, that far superior horror film had its own, involving plot, and the surprise at the end came as a surprise; you probably didn't see it coming (at least, I didn't) even though subtle clues were dropped throughout. "The Others", by contrast, makes it abundantly clear that "we're leading up to a big shocker ending!" That lead-up IS the plot of the movie, and when it comes, it doesn't seem very original, or even all that scary.
Decent opening, bad payoff.

Summary: Can I have my money back, please?
Review: The movie opens with Kidman screaming, and screaming, and screaming. She clutches her heart, woodenly attempts to look terrified (perhaps someone should have handed her a terminatoin notice for some real affect), and off we go watching her chewing the scenery pretending to act. My God, who told this chick she's an actor? That's the first problem. The star of this flick can't act and it only becomes more painful to watch because her costars do quite well. The second problem? Isn't a script suppose to have a plot? (Not as a plot in the ground, as in a story that is developed.)This ditty rambles on in a
predictable manner and meanwhile Kidman just gets more shrill. Oh please. Enough. Thank goodness even money couldn't buy her a best actress award. The lighting and photography are nicely done so it has some visual appeal. If you are really in the mood for a badly done movie stick to Ed Wood and leave the acting awards for Inspector Clay.

Summary: I thought this was a scary movie?
Review: My husband and I had expected a good thriller when we purchased this movie and were surprised when it was as "fearless" as it was. I will say it had an interesting twist at the end.... one taken right out of "The Sixth Sense", that is.

Summary: A classic thriller!
Review: After a surprisingly wonderful and brilliant scary movie like the Sixth Sense, The Others arrives and delivers another brilliant horror film that might just be as classy as old suspense films. Especially with the honorable mention of Nicole Kidman's captivating and shocking performance.
A mother and her two children are living in a secluded mansion that sooner or later becomes haunting right when a family of three move in, becoming the servants. Definitely don't want to go any further, that way the film will be suspenseful all the way. It moves a little slow, but without blood and slashes coming from here and there, Nicole Kidman's screams and scenes are still chilling to the bone. And the ending will leave you thinking without being confused. A much different belief than the Sixth Sense, where the ghosts and spirits wanted the humans to help. Instead...just watch. It's just as impressive and entertaining.

Summary: Another disappointment

Summary: This is an elegiac, yet frightening, instant classic.
Review: This stylishly told "ghost story" offers the atmosphere and period detail of The Innocents (1961) with the twists and assurance of The Sixth Sense (1999). Written and directed by Alejandro Amenábar, The Others is sure to go down as a classic. With a superb cast, particularly Nicole Kidman, a strong script, Amenábar's directorial talents, skillful cinematography and an effective musical score (also by Amenábar), The Others uses subtlety and atmosphere rather than cheap stunts and intrusive special effects to tell a hauntingly effective story. The film, set in an isolated island manor just after WWII, tells the story of a struggling overprotective mother (Kidman) who lives with her son (James Bentley) and daughter (wonderfully played by young Alakina Mann), both of whom suffer from a rare allergy to light (called Xeroderma Pigmentosum; a real disease). Abandoned by the manor staff, her husband apparently lost in the war, Kidman's character is obviously reaching the end of her tether. The story really begins when the new staff, led by housekeeper/nanny Mrs. Mills (Fionnula Flanagan), arrive on Kidman's doorstep ready to start work. After explaining their duties to them, as well as the unusual precautions that must be followed at all times to protect her children from light, The Others slowly but surely grows in emotional intensity until a frightening but rewarding climax. Note: The DVD set offers no commentary track, but it does include some additional material, including a "making of" featurette and a documentary on Xeroderma Pigmentosum that some may find interesting.
