Chilling...

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2001)

From the looks of the previews, this movie looked like it was going to be a bit scary, but not too much. Wow, I was in for a treat.
It takes place in 1945, after the war. Grace (Nicole Kidman) and her two children live in an old, large house on an island in England. Grace hires 3 servants after the others mysteriously vanished and makes a few things very important. Whatever room the children are in the curtains must be closed, as they are allergic to light. All 50 doors must be locked at all times, no door can just stay open.
Soon Ann (her daughter) starts hearing and talking to Victor, a boy who claims he and his family live there. Ann insists he isn't a ghost. Grace tries to block the fact that they may be sharing the house with other people, but soon catches on...
This movie is excellent, it will have you on the edge of your seat. Some people actually screamed at one part. It's great because the previews don't give away the best parts. Terrific casting, acting, and directing. It's a chilling experience with a twist ending. I loved it. **** out of **** stars. Go see it today!
