3/4  Scary, Thrilling, Corny
Nicole Kidman is a Goddess, but this movie wasn't her best film. The acting was incredible, as was the writing, though the direction causes me to take away what could have been a perfect score of 4 stars. What makes this movie so memorab... (read full)

3/4  One of the Best Horror Movies of all time @ #43
This movie was spectacular and I'll tell you why. After the mega successful movie "The Sixth Sense" was done, no way would you figure a movie regarding ghosts and a plot twist would be done. Or, if someone was as bold as to make a movie al... (read full)

3/4  The Others
Some people claim that this was a rip-off from "The Sixth Sense" but I am more than willing to argue that this is a movie of its own. Nicole Kidman perfectly embodies a cold-mannered mother who, despite of her intimidating aura, loves her ... (read full)

3/4  The Others, yay
I really liked it, despite feeling stupid for doing so. Alejandro Amenabar is one of those underrated directors that I wish we'd see more from. I saw this at night so of course I was a tad more scared than I'd be otherwise. Nicole Kidman ... (read full)

3/4  The Others Quick Review
This movie was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was.

3/4  The Others Quick Review
I have not seen it since it came out 6 years ago - but back then it was pretty damn good. Though, it is some what of a sixth sense rip of, it is frightening at times and at other times it is tense. What can I say, I liked it. Will you?

2/4  The Others Quick Review
Maybe I'm too jaded or just too damn smart for my own good. I figured out what was happening 15 minutes into this movie, and the enjoyment level dropped precipitously from there. While the atmosphere is great - and there are some genuinely creepy scenes, overall I just didn't get why so many people were hyped up about this film. It's serviceable, but nothing special.

5/5 A LEGITIMATELY EERIE GHOST STORY
  by Geary A., Jones
Nicole Kidman was at the top of her game in this film. It is a crackling good suspense movie, that unwinds its chills in slow twists of plot, and superb dialogue. Amenabar quietly, subtly, and ever so deftly reveals the twisted secrets of a haunted mansion, seemingly perpetually wrapped in fog, and seething with dark psychological underpinnings.

THE OTHERS is a trance-like walk into a deviously, evolving nightmare, with a delectibly macabre finishing flourish. Not many ghost stories are comparable to THE SIXTH SENSE, or THE TURN OF THE SCREW. This lusciously atmospheric morsel is- in spades!

3/5 WEAK GHOST STORY
  by drkhimxz (Freehold, NJ, USA)
Perhaps, I was not in the mood; but this entry in the William James look-a-like contest just did not make it with me. No particular complaints, I simply was not caught up in the whirl of creaks and groans. The cast did well enough with what they had to work with, but they were not able to create the aura of mystery and suspense needed to induce the necessary spell.

5/5 Haunting...
  by Choco
A ghost story unlike any other. Director Alejandro Amenabar's The Others is one of those far too rare jewels of the genre. With a strong plot, memorable characters, haunting atmosphere and more layers than one can uncover in a couple of viewings, this film is a masterpiece of film-making.

Unlike the vast majority of horror films out there that have to rely on slash fests, vulgarity, nudity and buckets of blood to try to smokescreen for weak plots of less than mediocre and forgetful films, The Others, is on that short list category with films like Jack Clayton's The Innocents, from the 1961 which was based on a Henry James story, Robert Wize's The Haunting, from 1963, adapted from Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining adapted from Steven King's masterpiece novel in 1980.

5/5 True Horror
  by George Grossmith (Seattle WA)
This is unquestionably the scariest, creepiest, most frightening and genuinely disturbing "haunting" film I've ever seen. Forget the Hollywood thrill ride special effects flimflam of "Poltergeist" ad nauseum. This is the real thing. And Nicole Kidman deserved an Oscar for her portrayal. It will stay with you for weeks after you've seen it. Truly shudder-inducing and I usually blow this stuff off as simply good fun. Not this time. Sleep well.
