I remember being a little wary of watching this film as I had read quite a few bad reviews and was expecting to be dissapointed. However the film blew me away and is now one of my firm favourites. Nicole Kidman plays Grace (a part very suited to her), very highly strung mother to Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicolas (James Bentley) who has ...  Read the complete review

In post war Jersey a woman inhabits a huge mansion with her children Anne and Nicholas. Remote and quite cut off from society, Grace Stewart (a nervy and stiff upper lipped Nicole Kidman) guards her light sensitive children from the world outside and life itself. The arrival of some staff to aid with the running of the household heralds a series ...  Read the complete review

The creator of this movie plays a trick between 'haunting' and 'haunted', by means of which the name of the movie 'The Others' intriguingly indicates the role of the family living in the house. Thus, when the audience is busy following Kidman and her children to chase 'others', they fall into the same hole with main characters. In this way, the ...  Read the complete review

This is a film only review as I haven't touched the extras! The Others is a gentle sort of horror film. It's gore-free which means if you're like me and have to hide behind a cushion when the fake blood starts pouring, you'll do okay. It's the story of a family in the war years, with two children who have a medical condition ...  Read the complete review

I watched this film on my own when my husband was on nights, I was on the edge of my seat all the way through, looking through my fingers. It starts in a normal sort of way, a young mum with two kids going to live in a rambling old house with a spooky house keeper. The plot thickens when you are led to believe the children have some sort ...  Read the complete review

I really wanted to write a review of this film because although it has received average/good reviews i feel it is something of a modern classic. The film builds an atmosphere so chilling and creepy through a brilliantly composed minimalistic score and well acted roles that the 12 certificate it carries seems quite inappropriate. The ...  Read the complete review

Sooner or later they will find you ... so says the strapline, and you realise pretty much straight away exactly what you're going to get with The Others, starring Nicole Kidman and directed by Alejandro Amenabar. It's a very slowly built, eerie ghost story of the classic kind, ominous and scary. It tells ...  Read the complete review

Light that always fails - Advantages: Kidman at her best, Very good acting, concept and "final twist" combined , Powerful and convincing - Disadvantages: If you take the story for granted, would you value life (yours, mine, theirs)?

Directed by a spanish directer, Alejandro Amenabar, this is one of his first English-spoke films, and its done well for such a debut. His past efforts include the original 'Vanilla Sky' called 'Los Ojos', but of course, that was all in Spanish. The Others is a suspence thriller, and it's made itself into one of my ...  Read the complete review

The others is one hell of a film I got addicted to it because it was just the mysterious ways of the children and even the mother (kidman) plus who are these new people in the house they have let in. The story well what I can pick up at the beginning is the mother's husband has gone to war she is left with 2 children who cannot be exposed to ...  Read the complete review

Pencil thin and moonlight beautiful, Nicole Kidman has always been a startling actress, featuring in some challenging and memorable films, born of much more substance than those which her ex Tom Cruise has championed. She belies her Australian roots and transcends the earthbound baseness of the flesh. It is fitting then that this vision ...  Read the complete review

Just when we all thought we'd seen the back of the good old fashioned creepy ghost story along comes The Others, a good old fashioned creepy ghost story. Starring Nicole Kidman in her second great role and performance of the year (if you haven't already checked out Moulin Rouge you should). The Others was the surprise sleeper hit ...  Read the complete review

Then let this fantastic thriller begin. You could easily mistake "The Others" for a quintessentially English film, one that upholds the traditional elements of an old-fashioned thriller. Well, that would be until you remembered that the lead actress is an American/Australian, the director, screenwriter and composer is a ...  Read the complete review

I bought this as soon as it came out on DVD, and I was not disapointed!. The story line had me guessing all the way through, the effects were great, and the period choice fitted perfectly. If you want to be scared this is for you. Nicole Kidman was brilliant at playing a very strange character. The end of the film took me totally by surprise and ...  Read the complete review
