The Others (Collectors Edition, 2 DVDs) Reviews

It's between three and four on a cold October's morning and all is quiet. I'm sitting slumped in my armchair trying to stay awake for what was undoubtedly one of the best baseball postseasons in history, covered in shards of ready salted crisps and desperately parched but too tired and/or lazy to go and get another drink. Suddenly, I ...  Read the complete review

Come Friday 16th November I found myself sitting in a relatively packed cinema ready to watch 'The Others' I was so excited, I was with loads of mates from school and it was my birthday which made it even better! I hadn't really heard much about the film, hadn't even seen the adverts but I knew that Nicole Kidman was in it ...  Read the complete review

‘The Others’ is one of the scariest films I’ve ever seen. Set in Jersey at the end of WW2, it stars Nicole Kidman as Grace, a neurotic, deeply religious woman who’s husband is missing in action at the front. In a huge, dark mansion, she is raising her two children, Anne and Nicholas, who’s photosensitivity means ...  Read the complete review

If you want to avoid bruised arms, then avoid going to see this film with someone who gets very nervous in tense atmospheres! There were quite a lot of arm wrenching moments in 'The Others' - I even jumped myself on a few occasions! The film starts off quite slowly, as we see Nicole Kidman in her house, welcoming visitors - who ...  Read the complete review

The others, is a film starring Nicole Kidman as Grace a woman whose husband has gone to fight in the war. She is caring for her two children who both suffer from a form of photophobia. With which when subjected to any stronger light than a gas lamp, they get covered in blisters and sores. But all is not what it seems in this ghostly tale, ...  Read the complete review

This is a classy film, and in parts is genuinely spooky. The films primary star is Nicole Kidman who plays Grace, a woman left alone to raise her children after her husband went to war. She lives with her two children Anne and Nicholas, a young pair of siblings who happen to be very photosensitive and so cannot be exposed to any ...  Read the complete review

This Will Get You Thinking!! ---------------------------------- I am a big Nicole Kidman fan so to be honest that was one of the main reasons for going to see this movie and of course it had that old actor Eric Sykes in it. Remember him in the series with the lovely Hattie Jacques, maybe a bit before your time... Anyway ...  Read the complete review

The Other's is a fine example of what a "real" horror movie's all about. It is both frightening and very entertaining. And, there is no knife stabbing or any of that buisness. I went to see this at the cinema, and I thought i'd be fairly weak and pathetic (mainly because it gets a 12 certificate). I was very suprised of how excellent ...  Read the complete review

Whoaaahhhh, Whoooooaaaaaaahhhhh, Whoooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. Do you believe in Ghosts? Grace (Nicole Kidman) doesn’t, but she’s about to! Right, that’s enough of the amateur theatricals from me! I try so hard, but when I attempt the dramatic my writing usually reeks of camembert rather than ...  Read the complete review

Nicole Kidman plays Grace, a mother of two young children living alone in a large country house on Jersey at the end of WWII. Her husband has not returned from the war and she is frightened that he may have been killed. Her two children, Anne and Nicholas, played by Alakina Mann and James Bentley have a rare photosensitivity. This means that the ...  Read the complete review

Hurrah for the good old-fashioned ghost story. It's not often that a well-used genre such as this produces a genuinely enjoyable film, and so it was with pleasant surprise that I left the cinema after seeing The Others. With his first English-language film, director Alejandro Amenábar has created a scary and wonderfully atmospheric tale of a ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit the trailer for “The Others” made me wonder if it was the kind of film I really wanted to see. It looked as though you would either be sitting on the edge of your chair or jumping in the air for the entire duration of the movie. I decided to go to see the film and was pleasantly surprised that the real jump ...  Read the complete review

The Others? Just who are 'The Others' that this movie refers to? Well as you can imagine the others just so happen to be ghosts. Oh yes it seems so obvious but when you think about it the movie could have had a twist where the others were actually leprechauns pretending to be ghosts. I mean I don't want to give the movie away but it ...  Read the complete review

THE OTHERS is a supernatural thriller set in 1945 starring Nicole Kidman in a role eerily suited for her. Kidman suffers from Tall Actress Syndrome: Not all roles suit her physically. Tall actresses have a tough time playing cute, silly, or roles depicting them as ordinary women. The average woman is not six feet tall. Add Kidman's alabaster ...  Read the complete review

There's been loads of hype from the media about this new Nicole Kidman movie. Comparisons have been made with "The 6th Sense" and "unbreakable", with many critics calling The Others the creepiest film for years. It starts off ok, but fails to gather any real pace until the last 5 minutes, where a huge twists turn ...  Read the complete review

I didnt know what to expect from this film, from the onset. I knew Nicole Kidman was in it and that was enough, after I had just seen Moulan Rouge. This film is spooky not from monsters and magic, but from the lighting and weird camera angles. The story begins with a house as usual. The servants arrive looking for a job as the ...  Read the complete review

I don’t know why I go to see films like this – I’m well aware that I scare REALLY easily, yet I enjoy movies like this, even though I spent most of the film pretending to find something that I’d dropped on the floor! The Others sees Nicole Kidman once again showing us what a diverse acting range she has. In my ...  Read the complete review

It seems that ghost stories are somewhat en vogue at the moment with The Sixth Sense and What lies Beneath both doing rather excellent business at the box office to name the biggest of them. Another one for you to add to that list to complete a highly impressive spookfest trilogy is Spanish director Alejandro Amenabar's The Others which ...  Read the complete review

After the success of The Sixth Sense and What Lies Beneath, it seems ghost stories are back in fashion. This latest film has a Spanish heritage, being written and directed by the up and coming Alejandro Amenabar, and this is his first big budget, English language film. Set entirely in a remote country mansion on the island of Jersey, ...  Read the complete review

It's difficult to write an opinion on any film without giving away the plot, and this one is especially difficult because I don't want to give anything away. Basically, it's a standard ghost story, which, I have to say, starts rather boringly (it takes a while to get into it, but patience is a virtue, and it is a great film), ...  Read the complete review
