a darkened old house full of intrigue

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2003)

A movie I saw recently was "The Others",directed by Alejandro Amenábar and starred by Nicole Kidman, as Grace Stuart in the leading role. The movie was amazingly set in the 1800s, and it's about a woman who lives in a darkened old house with her two photosensitive children,and who becomes convinced that her family home is haunted. From this moment on the intriguing plot develops.
In spite of the ending, this is a really good movie which has everything that a horror film should have. Darkness surrounds all the place and it creates a perfect setting for a movie like this, supplemented with the great performance of Nicole Kidman, as a terrified mother who tries to believe the fact that there are ghosts in the house. The direction and the acting were really good, particularly the leading roles.Another fact that was amazing were the scenes that were carefully shot, trying to reach perfection.
In conclusion, I found this movie interesting and dramatic. And if you like movies like this one, I think that it is well worth seeing. However, if you've already seen it, I recommend another one which is along the same line: "Sixth Sense".
