Product Description essential videoA welcome throwback to the spooky traditions of Jack Clayton's The Innocents and Robert Wise's The Haunting, Alejandro Amen?bar's The Others favors atmosphere, sound, and suggestion over flashy special effects. Set in 1945 on a fog-enshrouded island off the British coast, the film begins with a scream as Grace awakens from some unspoken horror, perhaps arising from her religiously overprotective concern for her young children, Anne and Nicholas . The children are hypersensitive to light and have lived in a musty manor with curtains and shutters perpetually drawn. With Grace's husband presumably lost at war, this ominous setting perfectly accommodates a sense of dreaded expectation, escalating when three strangers arrive in response to Grace's yet-unposted request for domestic help. Led by housekeeper Mrs. Mills , this mysterious trio is as closely tied to the house's history as Grace's family is--as are the past occupants seen posthumously posed in a long-forgotten photo album. With her justly acclaimed performance, Kidman maintains an emotional intensity that fuels the film's supernatural underpinnings. And while Amen?bar's pacing is deliberately slow, it befits the tone of penetrating anxiety, leading to a twist that extends the story's reach from beyond the grave. Amen?bar unveiled a similarly effective twist in his Spanish thriller Open Your Eyes , but where that film drew debate, The Others is finely crafted to provoke well-earned goose bumps and chills down the spine. --Jeff ShannonProduct DescriptionStudio: Lions Gate Home Ent.
