If you like classic ghost movies...

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2001)

This movie appears to be one of those that you will either love or hate. Generally I think you might love it if you thought that the original The Haunting (1963) is one of the scariest films ever made while the remake (1999) is one of the worst films every made. You might like this film if you are bored with all of the gimmicky variations on slasher horror films. You might like this film if you liked The Innocents (1961). You might like the film if you like a slow well-structured plot rather than a thrill-a-minute ride.
You might strongly dislike this film if you thought that any of the above or Unbreakable and 6th Sense were booring in comparison.

The Others is old-style psychological gothic horror with a twist. Beautifully directed, beautifully acted. No stupid men in rubber masks jumping out with big knives.
