A Ghost Story Different from The Others

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 2001)

At first you may think you have seen this all before, and it can get to be a yawn if you are expecting a typical horror film. Treat this movie like a good book - one written by a Henry James, not a Stephen King.
The performances are all wonderful. The children act like real children, and Nicole Kidman and Fionnula Flanagan force you to question their every move while still retaining your sympathies.
A couple of plot points didn't seem to have a satisfactory resolution, but leaving them unaccounted for ultimately adds to the experience.
The Others will leave you thinking - especially since the ending is really a beginning.
