Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Beyond the evident technical proficiency on show, the film is still reduced to its primary narrative parlour-game of trying to guess the ghostly twist.

Patrick Nabarro
...Elegantly and deliberately made, reeking of mood and creepiness, it relishes its atmosphere of genteel menace...
Los Angeles Times
...Amenabar's expert script rings enough changes on genre conventions to keep aficionados guessing....[A] terrific thriller...
Sight and Sound
...Mr. Amenabar's command of the syntax of fright is impressive....Ms. Kidman embodies this unstable amalgam with a conviction that is in itself terrifying...
New York Times
...The movie has a busy, throttling intensity that takes off from the elegant fury of Kidman...
Entertainment Weekly
Nicole Kidman delivers maybe the best performance of her career as a mother of two young children who will do anything to protect her children...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Amenábar finds the terror in simple, old fashioned moviemaking, never using any obvious effects. And the result is the first actual spinetingler in years!

Shadows on the Wall
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.
