Summary: WASTE OF TIME! CHECK OUT SIXTH SENSE INSTEAD!! OR SIGNS!
Review: I don't want to waste my time reviewing this waste of time. IT ABSOLUTELY WAS TERRIBLE! NOT ONLY WAS THE SOUND QUALITY ON THE DVD TERRIBLE, THE PLOTLINE AND ACTING [was not good]! TO NICOLE KIDMAN: KEEP YOUR AUSTRAILIAN ACCENT AND THROW YOUR BRITISH ACCENT AWAY! YOU CAN ACT BETTER THAN THIS! RENT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING DUMB, STUPID AND BORING!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: This movie was a breath of fresh air in a pool of overdone, overwritten, overacted movies. I love a surprize and Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar didn't hold out. Nicole Kidman is becoming one of my fav's and she holds her own throughout this movie..It was the second movie I've seen in a few years where foreshadowing didn't give away the ending.{_The Sixth Sense_ was the other} Simplicity at it's best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kidman's best performance
Review: ...I love scary movies, but was skeptical about spending [$$'s] for a movie I had never seen. But don't worry, all of my qualms were resolved.

The film is spectacular, one of the years best. Nicole Kidman gives a stunning performance as Grace, the owner of a spooky house on an island. Her husband is...P>With Kidman's great acting and Alejandro's magnificent direction (as well as his music score!), this movie is a suprising thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. People say that it is a rip-off of the Sixth Sense. And it may be, but a good one at that. The ending is probably the best twist ever in movie history.

So, summing it all up, I would strongly encourage anyone that would like to see a thrilling, chilling movie, this is the movie for you! Even better, if you are a parent, like me, and don't want your children seeing nasty things on the screen, don't worry at this film! Not one curse word, a very minor scene with Kidman and her husband, but nothing is shown, other than a kiss and her lying in bed, all covered up. A fantastic film!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Story, good acting
Review: The comparisons made to The Sixth Sense are well-founded, but from a personal standpoint, I have to admit one difference, and I don't know if the difference is necessarily because of something within me or the movie. The Others, unlike The Sixth Sense, always lets the audience know that there is something awry.

In spite of its dealings with the supernatural, The Sixth Sense sells to the audience that they are watching the narrative of a boy figuring out how to cope with his gift/curse, until the twist at the very end. With The Others, there is no such attempt. Something is amiss, but we just aren't sure what it is. Is it the servants? Is it the husband? Is it the house itself? I found myself trying to decipher the many clues it left, whereas in The Sixth Sense, I wasn't led to look for clues, and that is the fundamental difference in the way the ending is revealed.

It works well for the director, who seems to enjoy the fact that he knows something that the audience doesn't, and sort of toys with them by dropping little clues here and there. When the ending came, I wasn't exactly shocked, but I wasn't exactly expecting it, either. Either way, I was thoroughly entertained.

Summary: A comleate shocker !!!
Review: I am not an easy person to be surprised ! And I was ! Last time it happened with " The 6th Sense " . Usually , I can tell you what will happen within 30 minutes , but this time I was wrong ! Totally new , and fresh , concept looking at the life after death principals . What is so rear ! Everyone have to se it !
But the first shocker was a different surprise : Tom Cruse is one of the producers ! So , it is possible ! The life after ( Or during ) Hollywood . The true love story IN there ?! Doesn,t matter , if they devoice or not . It is showing the true meaning of their relationship .
If you did like " The 6th Sense " - a must to se movie . Do not ask WHY ? Just watch it !

Summary: Boring

Summary: --Beware if you live in an old house--
Review: This is a very well done supernatural thriller that gets your attention and keeps it for the entire film. The setting for the story is a huge old manor house that's located on an island off the coast of England. The inhabitants are a young mother (Nicole Kidman) and her daughter and son. The house is already sinister enough, but the curtains are closed all day because both of the children have a condition that makes them sensitive to light. The time is the year 1945 and the father has gone to fight in the war and not returned. The film begins with Grace, the mother hiring three new servants because the old ones have disappeared. After a period of time strange things begin to happen, and the terror begins.

I watched this film with seven others. One kept her eyes shut and jumped at every sound. We all thought that Nicole Kidman did a great job, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed this REALLY good scary story.llent movie. Scary? At parts, more thrilling, and intense, because of the way things creep along. The viewer might think they drag, but understand, it is intricately detailed and everything will be explained to the patiend viewer.

It was a rewarding experience in an otherwise dull cliched summer, and Nichole Kidman's performance was OUTSTANDING. I was surprised about lack of commercials for the film, then I saw that Tom Cruise was the producer for the film, and I suspect the divorce meant he was not as interested in the financial outcome of the film, or helping his ex-wife's career (something to think about).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: haves you on the egde of your seat all the time
Review: This has got to be one of the greatest films ever made. It has you on the egde of your seat all the time. Nicole Kidman plays the part of a mother who's kids can't be rejected to the sunlight. She needs help around the house while her husband is at war, so she hires three people to help her. But soon the house seems to be mysteriously haunted. Curtains open by themselves, there are loud thumps upstairs, piano's play by with no one on the chair, everything to make it a haunted house. Strangely, the little girl named Anne is the only one who can see them. She draws a picture of each of them and how many times shes seen them, it seems the ghosts are a family. She's seen both the mom and dad twice, the little boy 5, and the grandma whom she thinks is a witch, 14. Its probably the best movie made in years. Whoever reads this review, it is a must see for anyone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A ONE TIME SEE
Review: The others was an excellent movie however its a one time see. The whole plot is a thriller where you are trying to figure out waht is happening. Once you know the ending its not as fun to watch over and over again. I woudl recommend seeing it I thoroughyly enjoyed it the first time i saw it and was shocked by the ending I would compare it to the sixth sence something you never would have guessed happens but after you know i jsut dont think its worth watching over and over.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice, Very NIce
Review: While a perfectly good, moody film - I don't think that it has the rewatchability of the film upon which much of it seems based, The Innocents. While I liked the film very much and was gripped by the story and the visual design - I left the theater knowing that it was a one time thing never to be repeated. Rent this film, don't buy - since you most likely won't be watching it again.
