When The Sixth Sense meets The Haunting (the original, of course)...

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2001)

I really liked this movie. It's fun to notice that in these recent years of ultra-expensive special effects the power of suggestion and good acting (very powerful performances of Nicole Kidman as the mother and Alakina Mann and James Bentley as her daughter and son) can still be very effective in frightening audiences. The twist that Amenabar gives to the traditional haunted house theme in this movie is -to my knowledge- quite original. This interesting plot in combination with the whole atmosphere of the movie and the excellent acting makes The Others a very entertaining experience. In an effort to create a nice sound bite and trying not to spoil the movie, I'll describe The Others as a movie in which The Sixth Sense meets The Haunting (the original, of course).
