Poor ending and obvious twist spoils a beautifully made film.

Rating: 6/10 (2 September 2002)

***SLIGHT SPOILERS*** The Others is a wonderful cinematic film. It is beautifully shot and brilliantly acted. The script is also pretty good on the whole.
The plot however could have done with some tweaking and I feel that some elements of the screenplay could be more subtle.
The twist was far too obvious for me - as soon as the husband returned it was obvious what was going on.
I guessed even before that however - as soon as servants arrived at the house. There are too many unsubtle clues - especially if one is au fait with ghost stories.
A film well worth watching - but not as good as it could have been.
