The Others
The main difference between British and American ghosts is that the English ones say Boo with the letter U.
But no matter how you pronounce the exclamation in this horror movie, the end result is the same.
In the wake of WWII, new servants (Fionnula Flanagan, Eric Sykes, Elaine Cassidy) are hired on at the country estate of Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) to mind after her light-sensitive children (Alakina Mann, James Bentley).
It's not long before the staff learns of their mistresses' mysterious migraines and her children's belief in spirits.
Not until a clairvoyant comes to the manor is the truth behind the hauntings revealed.
Suffused in candlelight and foreboding atmosphere, The Others is a true Gothic horror with a wholly original script and a twist ending that'll shock and depress.
Parenthetically, the best way to get rid of ethereal English occupiers is with the ghosts of deceased IRA members.
