More "ooh..." than "BOO!"

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2002)

Well, there I was expecting a movie that was going to scare the ever-loving jiggity-jogs out of me, and "the Others" ends up being about as scary as the "Harry Potter" movie. Less, actually.
It is worth watching, though. It's gothic atmosphere is very pretty, even though the scares don't quite deliver. I suppose it's because they're drawn out for too long. This would have been an excellent episode of "the Twilight Zone", had it been a little over twenty minutes.
I want it on record that I was one of the first to "call" the twist at the end.
