Great plot, thrilling

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2001)

I honestly can say I enjoyed this movie a lot! I'd been looking forward to seeing it, and when I went I was really overwhelmed by its quality. I thought the acting was excellent-especially on the part of the two children, Alakina Mann (Ann) and James Bentley (Nicholas). Nicole Kidman was pretty good as the seemingly-frigid/paranoid mother. The plot was complex and thoughtful and included a twist at the end that rivals that of The Sixth Sense. Music and light was also used really well-the candlelight which lit most of the movie added a softer glow. Overall this was a clever, intelligent film worth seeing!
