A scary, freaky and shocking horror film!

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2008)

There's no way in hell "The Sixth Sense" will ever gain my approval as a modern horror movie since he forgot to mention people that he based it on a kid's show called "Are you afraid of the dark?" with the episode being "The Tale of the Dream Girl." A month later in 1999, more ghost movies followed where there was Stir of Echoes with Kevin Bacon proving to be more of an effective and original thriller. Other ghost movies followed but none will ever come close than "The Others." Nicole Kidman plays Grace Stewart, a widow to a soldier during the events of World War II who shelters two of her children, Anna and Nichols, in a mansion all by herself. Not only is she a fanatical Christian where she gives lectures and wants the children to remember certain things, but she doesn't allow the children to leave the house due to a skin disease they have. She hires help from Fionnula Flanagan who plays Bertha Mills, along with Eric Sykes (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and Elaine Cassidy to assist her. Grace soon discovers weird things going around in her mansion before asking the children if they been horse playing and the housekeepers if they've been touching things and moving objects around that weren't suppose to move.
Suspicion turns to threats, threats lead to clues, and everything will be unravel sooner or later with a shocking ending.
I'm not familiar with Alejandro Amenábar's work, but as soon as I say "The Others," all I have to say is that it's one hell of a movie beating the hell out of "The Sixth Sense" with its amazing cast and its edge of your seat/heart pounding moments making it one of my favorite horror movies of all time.
Like "Alien," don't you dare see this film alone or in the dark.
