Review of The Others (2001) by Augusta M — 09 Sep 2013
It's been ages since I've truly been creeped out by a film, but what I found the most special about this film was that the scares were rooted not just with jumping out of nowhere, but the real twist of not telling or showing us anything.
The haunting exploration of religious themes were indeed explained, but not so much as to ruin the slow ironic pace. It was all the more terrifying just watching Nicole Kidman's acting, her firm parental style, her frightened, panicked style and the quiet mournful style.
Even from the beginning, you know that something's not quite right. The tunes themselves lead you down the corridor and creep up on you from behind as you walk away.
