A truly good scary movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2012)

I have no idea why people are comparing this to The Sixth Sense. I called The Sixth Sense in five minutes (much to the chagrin of everyone around me in the theater; I really hadn't hoped I was right and it was THAT predictable) whereas The Others was one of the handful of movies that immensely impressed me by how well it was done. The acting was superb (this would remain my favorite Nicole Kidman movie until The Hours came out) and the ending genuinely caught me off guard- a rarity.
I thought that this was an excellent movie, a wonderful nod to an age when movies didn't need CG and other effects to be genuinely scary. Very highly recommended.
