Alejandro Amenábar is the real deal.

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2001)

"The Others" succeeds so well because of its truly accomplished direction, writing and score - all by Alejandro Amenábar. "Tesis",
"Open Your Eyes" and "Butterfly" were no flukes. This guy knows how to make a movie.
I love ghost tales, but I wasn't prepared for the craftsmanship of "The Others". Nicole Kidman rocks. Art Direction and Cinematography are incomparable. Every detail is perfect.
See it. Relax. Enjoy.

[And if you're looking for more of the same, rent "The Innocents" (1961), "The Haunting" (1963), "The Changeling" (1980), and "Lady in White" (1988)].

Boo!
