The Others (2001, Dir. Alejandro Amenábar)
It's nearing the end of the Second World War and Grace Stewart (Kidman) lives with her photosensitive children (Mann and Bentley) in a large and silent house. After her previous servants went missing, Grace accepted the offers of work from three new servants. But since these three have entered the home, strange events occur, and Grace begins to wonder if it's her sanity getting the better of her or if there is something much more in the house with them.
Intense physiological thriller with a fantastic performance from Nicole Kidman. This is how horror really works, as you literally sit in awe of what it could possibly be. Both the emotions from the central character can be felt within the audience, as the horror isn't thrown in your face.
I think I've finished here, ma'am. If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go and see if Mr Tuttle needs a hand. - Mrs. Bertha Mills (Fionnula Flanagan)
