Creepy

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 2002)

I hadnt heard anything about this movie until at the theater when I couldnt find anything good playing and someone said to see it. This was one of my favorite movies of the year. (i`ll try not to spoil anything, i dont think i will) The movie is about a woman named grace, who enjoys everything quiet and simple because of her migranes, and her two children, who are deathly sensative to light, living in a secluded mansion, waiting for her husband to come back from the war. After their recents maids or, yeah maids and groundskeepers leave unexpectedly, grace put a letter out for maids and groundskeepers. A older man and older woman and a mute girl soon show up and start with their duties. Though out the movie alot of things goes on with alot of little clues and hidden feature that you probably wont even tink about till after you watch it or untill you watch it again, or maybe for some people they wont. What was really good about this movie was the way it continually built up the intensity and then exploded at the end, and the way it made you feel kinda empty and dark, or just gave you the feeling they had. Another thing that was very different was how it hardly used any specials effects and just used the story to be scary instead of having people with their heads cut off or things jumping out from behind people, like other scary movies like 13 ghosts or whatever. The acting is brilliant, Nicole Kidman is one of my favorites and the kids were incredible. The Direction was very unique and different, very elegant and dark, and the story was awesome, different entirely from the sixth sense and if this is said to be like sixth sense then pretty much their isnt a ghost movie that isnt like the sixth sense. All in all an excellent movie which will give you an erie feeling for long after the twisted ending.
