Mercybell nails it

Rating: Null/10 (23 September 2001)

Some of us older folk could compare The Others to both The Innocents and The Uninvited. It helps to have read Henry James' The Turn of the Screw; it also helps to be patient with this movie. If you don't particularly enjoy Nicole Kidman, it will damage your enjoyment of the film as she is in almost every frame, looking like a Hitchcockian version of Grace Kelly -- LIke the filmmakers weren't aware: her character's name is Grace. This is a yummy little ghost story, offering a nightmare or two to suggestible ones. Sweet dreams!
