Leave us in peace!

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2005)

"We must learn to live together . . . the living and the dead." Certainly one of the most chilling lines you will ever hear. Kidman has done some good movies, some mediocre movies, and even a few what we would call bad movies. This is not one of them. She is terrific. She plays the mother of two terribly sick children living on an island off of England during World War II who has just lost her husband. She hires three strangers who just happen to have worked in her home previously and begins to have strange occurrences happen soon afterward. The movie takes awhile to come full circle but it once it has you in it's grip it won't let you go. It is fiendishly scary and the buildup to the finale is filled with tension and suspense. Another great twist ending and a real barn burner at that. Don't miss this one.
