Audience Member The film is very slow paced and the inner conflict the mother experiences in trying to make sense of what is around her is noteworthy. If you want to watch the movie, wear earphones because it's hard to hear anything, put the speed on double and lower any expectancy of it being a horror. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Mate P The Others lives up to the unpredictability hype, you can't guess what's happening. The characters are incredibly well-written. Their decisions, the plot makes sense until everything gets a new meaning. This movie is famous for its plot twist, so I guess it's no spoiler that there's a huge one here. I could not guess it and from the characters' perspective it gives a new meaning to their life as well. It's well-directed, while the cinematography is great and the editing is efficient. The sound design is outstanding as it is the key to horror. The casting is good enough. There's not a lot of fame, but everyone is well-cast. The acting performances are overall really good, but Nicole Kidman's is stunning. The Others is not the typical film I would watch, but it does amazingly at what it aims for. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Shaun R Overall a good film if you’ve never seen it before. Once you’ve seen it once and you know the twist, you probably won’t need to watch it again. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Claudio C The Others (2001) One of The Best and the Most Original Ghost Stories of Haunted House Ever Made (11,752 – 29 Jun 2021 / 08 Jan 2002 / 09 Jun 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In 1945, in Jersey, Channel Islands, the widow Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) lives in a lonely old house with her daughter Anne (Alakina Mann) and her son Nicholas (James Bentley). Grace lost her beloved husband Charles (Christopher Eccleston) in World War II and their children are photosensitive and Grace keeps the curtains and the doors closed to protect Anne and Nicholas against sunlight. Grace raises her children with strict discipline and following religious principles. Grace hires the strange housekeeper Mrs. Bertha Mills (Fionnula Flanagan), the mute maid Lydia (Elaine Cassidy) and the gardener Mr. Edmund Tuttle (Eric Sykes) that have asked for a job. Out of the blue, mysterious things happen in the mansion and Anne claims that there is a boy named Viktor that visits them. Grace unsuccessfully seeks out the intruders until the day she has a revelation about the house and its intruders. "The Others" is one of the best and the most original ghost stories of haunted house ever made (the best is actually "Haunted" 1995). Nobody can guess the final plot point that has one of the best twists of cinema history. I have just seen "The Others" for the third time and I enjoyed it the same way I did in 2002. This is the third film made by the excellent Alejandro Amenábar, who is the director, writer and composer. The plot is very well disclosed, and the entire cast has magnificent performances. Nicole Kidman is very beautiful before her plastic surgery of the nose and has a top-notch performance. My vote is ten.
