If not the best than definitely one of the best Horror movies ever made!

This movie is brilliant! Combine SCARY with DRAMATIC and add some INTELLIGENCE to it and this is what you'll get! Simply amazing! 90% of the entire movie is happening in the house and i don't know how, but it's never boring. You're always expecting something that never happens. Brilliant! And i really liked how Alejandro Amenabar has tried and succeeded in adding a lot of drama to the movie. That really made the mood a lot better.
I also really liked his directing. Almost the entire movie's been shot on dark places around the house with no light to it than the one of some candle or something. That candle or candles is what's, actually, giving you the chills when you hear voices or something in the movie. You always wonder what if the candle goes out.
Nicole Kidman was brilliant. Ever since she started pumping her face with botox or whatever, even though she is a great actress, i just can't find any sort of emotion in her performances. But that's not the case with this one. This role demanded Nicole Kidman. She was just amazing. Sad, angry, calm, scary - all at once. This role really fits her. She freaked me out in this movie.
I almost forgot to mention, the music is excellent! It really gives a lot to the movie!
And the ending! The ending is perfect! More than perfect!!! It's what, in my eyes, made this movie one of the best horror's ever!!!
Do not miss this movie! It's brilliant!!! This movie is the best that you can get out of a horror movie!!!! It's got everything! It's just great! Watch it and see for your self!!!
