Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
[The film] has been criticized in some quarters because Mulligan made it too beautiful, they say, and too nostalgic. Not at all. His colors are rich and deep and dark, chocolatey browns and bloody reds; they aren't beautiful but perverse and menacing.

The diabolical story has its eerie moments, but skirts close to becoming too ridiculous to fathom.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
If you have not read Tom Tryon's The Other, don't before you see the film made from this best-seller of a year ago. And if you have read it, prepare to find yourself quite uninvolved in the course of the movie.

The Other is a competent flick that will prove to be a lot freakier for film fans with active imaginations.

[T]here are some sharp shocks in store....[Mulligan] builds an atmosphere of disquiet that thrives upon ambiguity...

The Other is not quite the spellbinder it's cracked up to be.

Description by OLDIES.com:
This harrowing horror film helmed by legendary director Robert Mulligan provides enough twists and turns to keep you guessing up until its shocking ending! Mysterious accidents befall a family on a farm in depression-era rural Connecticut, resulting in the loss of a beloved father and a cherished twin brother. But when nine-year old Holland begins to see -- and speak to -- his twin, the remaining family members can only wait in terrified anticipation for more tragedies to occur ... as it slowly dawns on them that the accidents may not be accidental after all.
Product Description:
Chilling and eerie, this supernatural tale of good versus evil coils around twin brothers living with their grandmother in a sleepy rural area during the summer of 1935. After his grandmother encourages Niles to develop what seem to be psychic gifts, Niles starts to suspect that his twin may be involved in recent fatal accidents. Surprising twist after twist heightens the sense that a horrifying climax lurks at the edge of the viewer's vision--and the stark finale will have suspense and thriller lovers starting the film again to savor its intricate, disturbingly memorable moments.

I read the book when I was in high school, and saw the film a year or two later when I was in the army. This is one of the more memorable horror films of the seventies. I was utterly delighted to finally find it on DVD at Nina's Oldies. I've been looking for it everywhere. I love Nina's Oldies!
