Entertainment Reviews:
Ms. Kidman plays her role with impressive intensity.
Wall Street Journal
It is well constructed, as opposed to incompetently deconstructed.

Guardian
The Others is only adequate as a spectral, psychological thriller and pales in comparison to its predecessors of the 1940's. Amenabar is no Hitchcock and Kidman is neither Grace Kelly or Ingrid Bergman.

Behind The Lens
...A luxuriously old-fashioned star vehicle custom fit to its topliner's strengths, which come across to sensational effect....A delicious goose-pimpler...
Variety
Shrewdly cast, Kidman is pitch perfect. It's a clammy, ingenious film, one of the best studio movies of the year.

Time Out
...Elegantly and deliberately made, reeking of mood and creepiness, it relishes its atmosphere of genteel menace...
Los Angeles Times
...Kidman is rage to the sixth power....Masterfully shot...

Product Description:
THE OTHERS begins with a close-up of a woman screaming. By the time this intense film ends, everyone watching it will be screaming and gasping. Nicole Kidman stars as Grace, a woman raising two children by herself in a creepy mansion. World War II is over, but Grace's husband never returned. Meanwhile, the two children, Anne and Nicholas, must constantly stay in the dark because they are deathly allergic to light. Then one day three people show up to take over for Grace's disappeared staff, and trouble starts to brew. The odd trio--an aging nanny, an elderly gardener, and a young mute girl--seems to have a slightly different agenda than Grace and the children do. But when Anne starts talking to strange, unseen people, the scares start building to an incredible climax.
Alejandro Amenábar's highly stylized English-language debut is one of the better haunted-house films of the past few years. Not only did Amenábar write and direct the film but he composed the eerie music as well. Nicole Kidman is outstanding as the overprotective mother trying to save her children, while Fionnula Flanagan excels as the nanny with a deep, dark secret. Because the children must remain in darkness, Grace must lock every door behind her, to make sure that the children don't accidentally enter a brightly lit room; it is a marvelous horror-film device that Amenábar uses to perfection.
