Gets better on second viewing

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2002)

I saw 'The Others' at the cinema when it was released and didn't think much of it. I remember liking the whole concept of 'The Book of the Dead' and I also found the opening drawings very interesting. However, this movie did not make a lasting impression on me and was suprised by the reaction that my friends had to this movie. Last night, I decided to rent this movie on DVD to see if it changed my mind. It did. I found the film more humanly acurate and also appreciated the simpleness of every scene. I think Nicole Kidman does an excellent job as the mother.
I guess what I'm saying is, if you have seen this movie once and didn't like it that much- see it again and it will perhaps change your mind.
