"Must See" Horror Film #33


The Others (2001)

This film didn’t break any box office records but it still stands up as a genuinely creepy horror film. The story revolves around Grace (Nicole Kidman) and her two young children, Anne and Nicholas, living together in a dimly lit mansion. The children are photosensitive/allergic to sunlight and must remain indoors with shades drawn at all times. Grace attempts to keep order in the house despite the fact she is without her husband, who is away fighting in World War 2. She finds her job made even more difficult when her servants suddenly vanish without a trace.  Mysteriously, three more servants appear on her doorstep one day and she cautiously accepts their help. Once the new servants are settled in Grace begins to notice unexplained phenomena in the mansion. This movie has a unique storyline and a surprise ending.

  1. What's interesting was I was thinking about this movie ALL of yesterday. I've been really in the mood for a good ghosty-movie. Haha.
