Way too slow

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2002)

I appreciate the fact that people are attempting to make scary movies and thrillers without resorting to blood and violence, but it seems like they don't think they need to replace it with anything. The Others seems to repeat the same scene over and over for the entire first half of the movie. I started to get bored with the whole idea, hoping for something, anything to happen. This really would have worked better as a half hour episode of The Twilight Zone, so that half the movie didn't need to be fluff and just extraneous details that didn't move the story forward at all. Ah, well. Here's to trying, at least.
