Interesting drama, but predictable

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2002)

This film is said to be a drama/horror film. It is a drama full stop. There are no chills and thrills in the movie. Don't get me wrong, The Others is a good movie. It's slow, but always interesting. But it is also one of the most predictable films I have seen in the cinema for a long, long time. I had the ending figured out too soon for it to be a really good movie experience.
That said, Nicole Kidman is fantastic in the movie. Amenábar is obviously a good director, but I think the movie suffers from being labelled a "horror" movie when it is obviously a Gothic drama. (6/10)
