THE
OTHERS
With
Nicole
Kidman,
Fionulla
Flanagan,
Christopher
Eccleston,
Elaine
Cassidy,
Eric
Sykes
Directed
by
Alejandro
Amenabar
The
war
is
over
and
a
protective
mother
on
an
isolated
estate
in
a
large,
old
house
lives
alone
with
her
young
son
and
daughter,
her
husband
missing
in
action.
The
girl
claims
that
she
sees
a
little
boy
in
the
house,
as
well
as
several
other
people.
Strange
sounds
and
occurrences
get
creepier,
especially
after
three
new
servants
arrive.
The
tension
steadily
builds
as
the
religious
mother
starts
to
lose
her
grasp
of
the
situation.
Produced
by
Kidman's
now
ex,
Tom
Cruise,
the
largely
Spanish
production
definitely
has
an
effect
by
lending
it
a
Hollywood-free
atmosphere.
This
dark,
suspense
filled
spooky
trip
may
be
obvious
to
some
from
the
outset,
but
it
systematically
sucks
you
into
its
ghostly
bosom
with
sparse
but
intense
scares
outdoing
the
crap
late
90's
barrage
of
teen
horror
re-hashes.
