Summary: Finally
Review: Finally. Someone put together an authentic, original, wonderfully entertaining scary movie. Incredibly suspenseful, and then just before you know it, it ends in the most unexpected way.

Terrifically casted, Nicole Kidman truly captures the role.

If you like to jump out of your seat, then I highly recommend this film. If you are looking for unecessary gore without any originality and horrible pathetic acting, see Thirteen Ghosts.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!!!
Review: What else can I say?? The Others is certainly one of the best suspense films I've seen in a long time. Nicole Kidman is fantastic. A trio of servants come to help a young woman and her two kids. The children have a strange condition in which they will break out into blisters and die if their eyes are exposted to light. Mysterious, eerie, spine-chilling, and spooky---an all around great film. The Others is a "true" scary movie, unlike those gory, bloodbath, ax chopping films (i.e. Friday the Thirteenth). The Others is the third film from the talented director Alejandro Amenabar. I can't wait for his next movie. If you are someone who enjoys suspenseful films that will keep you guessing until the very last scene, then watch The Others. You're in for a wicked ride!!

Summary: Sleeper Hit
Review: I went to see this with my niece and son and it was absolutely wonderful! The kids were totally creeped out. No blood, no gore, just good old fashioned haunting mystery. No one else I know of watched this movie and it was out for the longest time before coming to video. Buy or rent the DVD and watch it at night, with NO distractions. Your full attention is needed in order to fully appreciate this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than I exspected
Review: At first glance of this movie I thought it would be decent, but not scary at all. Most so-called "Thrillers" or "Horrors" with big name actors are far from scary. However this movie did give me a couple creeps. It's not really scary, and if your not into intelligent movies with alot of talking than this isn't for you. Although it lacks fast paced sceens for most of the movie, the 3 or 4 sceens that are fast paced are very good and the suspense of the sceens really comes through the screen at you. What really makes the movie is the ending, its the kind of ending that your just like "WOW". You don't see it coming at all, and it really catches you off guard. I wish I could have rated it 4.5 stars, but since I cant Ill rate it 4 because it lacks those face paced sceens and without them it doesnt deserve the 5. But its a very good movie and I suggest buying the DVD or Video.

Summary: THE OTHERS squeezed into top spot on a personal point
Review: why did I love this movie so much? Well, it basically contained all of the ideal elements working together to create a unique film with indelible atmosphere, believable performances, genuinely frightening undertones and an engaging mystery, that had me guessing all the way. Of course, the film's ending is what likely has people talking the most, but I was hooked pretty much the whole way through. From the awesome visuals, to the amazing performance by Nicole Kidman, to the creepy score, the believable kids, the genuinely engaging story-line, to the goosebumps that I got during several key scenes, I loved every aspect of this film, and its final denouement only concretized all of that for me.

I love movies like this because there's a sense of reality behind them, a believability factor with an actual capacity to tap into some of our most unknown fears. The truth about ghosts, the afterworld, haunted houses...are notions that none of us could pretend to factually know much about, but movies as such always seem to crack open the greater possibilities in our minds. Kudos to everyone involved in this amazing production for bringing a good ol' classic ghost story back to the big screen, along with a nifty little twist.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great,creepy,thrilling,well-acted entertainment!
Review: Set in 1945,while her husband is away at war,
The Others stars Nicole Kidman as an overprotective
religious-fanatic mother who lives with her 2 young children,
{who are hypersensitive to light} in an old house,
which has a long,chilling history behind it.

The movie starts as 3 strangers approach the house who are coming
to work for Nicole Kidman,followed by a loud,powerful scream
from Nicole Kidman as she is just awakening out of bed from a nightmare of sorts.
A little later,she starts hearing things& assumes it's her kids,
but the daughter tells her that it's ghosts & she's seen some of
them.

OK,that's all i can say about the movie's plot,because if i say a few more sentences,i might give some of it away.

This is a very good ,compelling movie that keeps building
to a great climax,set in an eerie,foggy atmosphere and it's not what i expected at all,which is actually a good thing,because it is a surprisingly smart & well-acted film that doesn't rely
on special effects much for its creepy feel{which i like too,sometimes!},but more on the acting,atmosphere and its
somewhat mature subject matter.

This isn't no run of the mill haunted house film like The
Haunting,House on Haunted Hill or Thirteen Ghosts{which i wasn't
expecting}it's quite a bit better,more intriguing& more realistic
of what a haunting would probably be like!

The Others really is a classic,good old-fashioned ghost story
with a modern twist that you'd want to watch over and over again,
if you're in the right kind of mood.And Nicole Kidman's performance is strong&powerful and i'm not a Kidman fan at all!

I can't wait for this DVD to come out on May 14th as i will definately be buying it!...I'd give this movie 4 1/2 stars!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy this DVD!
Review: I went to see this movie in the theaters with my best friend. We absolutely loved it. We got scared to death! Nicole Kidman did an excellent job. I saw the movie three times and new what to expect the second and third time but I still got so scared. The ending was a total surprise. It was sad at some parts and really scary at others. I can't wait till it comes out so I can buy it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well-made, but with a debilitating flaw.
Review: WWII era film set in England stars Nicole Kidman as a mother who believes ghosts may be inhabiting her home. Creepy little film is very subdued and quiet, superbly acted, with a great sense of style and atmosphere. It all builds to a uniquely original ending, but unfortunately, the movie seems solely to exist only for that surprise. ...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Back to Classic
Review: I purchased the Asian DVD not long ago although I had never seen the film in theaters. I had heard enough about it, but didn't want to know too much to ruin it. I was very pleased to find that the movie uses very basic techniques to their tried-and-true results of scaring the pants off you! It seems in these days of hi-tech effects the filmakers have to explode in the face of the audience to get a thrill. Using suspense, excellent acting, and a good script this classic ghost story will truly satisfy. AND, finally a film for all ages that does so.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Awesome Movie
Review: The Others with Nicole Kidman, is an awesome movie. The suspense just keeps coming, and there is not a dull moment. Nicole Kidman is an extraordinary actor, and the children who play Anna and Nicholas, are wonderful. A fantastic movie....
