A chilling movie. One of 2001s best.

Rating: Null/10 (31 October 2001)

Nicole Kidman plays Grace a retired woman who has two children, Anne and Nicholas, both of whom are allergic to sunlight. It's towards to the end of World War II and they live alone in a quiet mansion in Jersey, waiting for Charles, Graces husband and the children's father to come home after fighting in the war. Grace then hires a couple of servants and a gardener, Bertha Mills, Lydia and Mr. Edmund Tuttle to come and help round the house, look after the children, etc. But, soon after there arrival strange things begin to happen around the house, which leaves horrifying consequences and a dramatic conclusion.
Now, I have to say I've never been that keen on Nicole Kidman. I've only really like one movie of her movies (If any.) and that's Practical Magic, but here she's really different from all her other roles and she gives a great performance. As do the rest of the cast including the great Eric Sykes. Great suspenseful directing from Alejandro Amenábar too, who also wrote the wonderful script to the movie.
I enjoyed The Others for many reasons. One being I love movies with a supernatural Ghost nature and this movie of course has just that. I also love a good twist at the end of a movie, and The Others features an amazing and brilliant twist. One of the best I've ever seen in a movie. The Others is it's own right, is original. It really should stop being compared to The Sixth Sense, by certain individuals. Once you see The Others it will really leave you thinking this is a simply great movie. And, once again I have to say the ending to the movie is brilliant. I give The Others a 10/10.
