See It! 8/10

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2001)

Since the '6th Sense' found success by slapping us in the face with the long lost 'shocking' ending, Hollywood big-shots have spent endless 'hours' (or at least minutes) trying to do it to us again.
With that said, 'The Others' might be considered a clone (including opening up the same weekend as '6th Sense' did)--- However --- the movie is strong enough to remind us that a good film can actually be 'filmed' instead of 'generated' by a computer. No crazy graphics... No disgusting/flying creatures... and no tasteless and cheap Hollywood 'CGI' scares!

Creative camera work, Clever integration of sound and music, a creepy cast in a creepy environment... and a version of Nicole Kidman that only Tom Cruise knows, all make for a chilling film.
The movie traps you in an old fashioned way and probably should have been filmed in Black and White. It does everything a Physco-Drama/Horror/Ghost-story/what-ever-you-wanna-call-it should do... Makes you Think - Jump - Cheer - Bit your nails and walk away talking about it.
It was one of the few movies worth the $7+ you pay for it.
Soooooo.... Buy a large popcorn, a big soda (assuming you can afford a $25 day at the movies) and enjoy a great film. Kidman may not be as memorable as Jack was in The Shining, be even she couldnt ruin this movie.
