Best film of 2001

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2002)

"The Others" is hands down, the best film of 2001. Nicole Kidman is both eerie and compelling as an English matriarch living in a large, gothic mansion circa WWII. She is very protective of her children, considering they suffer from a rare malady that forces them to refrain from sunlight. However, the arrival of a trio of servants begets the arrival of some sinister forces, and her world starts to unravel. This is truly an old-fashioned ghost story that thrills, chills and satisfies without the need for cheating.
Grade: A+
