Suspense is the key!

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2002)

It's just plain great to watch a horror movie, where the horror isn't about violence, blood, intestines, monsters and big blokes running around in a hockey mask. In The Others the suspense is inherent in the plot and the characters - and that's what makes this a great, and scaring, horror movie. This is horror in the classic sense. On top of it all, Ms. Kidman (again, one dares to say) plays with superb talent and is extremely convincing as the neurotic, uptight, and religious housewife. Marvelous.
THIS is why I love to go to the movies (and why I'm waiting for the DVD to come out on R2).
