Suffers from the UNBREAKABLE disease

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2001)

This movie can be compared to that of the SIXTH SENSE but suffers from the same fate as UNBREAKABLE. You could watch the sixth sense and skip the ending and still enjoy the movie because of its plotline. The ending is just the kicker that makes you want to see it again.
Like UNBREAKABLE though, THE OTHERS has very little plot. It spends the entire movie with a setup for a "surprise" ending (which is not very surprising). Without the ending, the movie just states facts about its characters and the situations they are in (not what they are doing).
This would have been better suited for a short (like a TALES FROM THE CRYPT type story). Stretched over the course of 2 hours, it is very thin. There are also some "plot holes" which took of a point for me. It is too close to others movies out there to get anything above a 7, but since someone may see this that hasn't seen any other movies that are similar, I gave it just that for its technical points.
