Review of The Others (2001) by Dan S — 02 Jan 2011
A well-made, genuinely creepy ghost story concerning an overbearing mother (Nicole Kidman) and her two children, and how the family begins to experience disturbances inside their house during the days of WW2.
It plods along at some instances but it makes up for whatever minor deficiencies it has with a fierce, brilliant conclusion that is partly predictable but nevertheless a stroke a genius. Kidman further adds to her decorated career with another masterful performance, she is without question one of the most versatile talents out there (compare this performance with her one in "Dogville" - incredible).
The mood and atmosphere this movie has is competently captured, and although it feels a bit detached at parts, it is one of the better horror movies the 00's had to offer overall.
