The Others

In this gothic thriller, Nicole Kidman plays a high-strung mother of two allergic-to-light children and the boss of three brand-new house keepers. With a lot of nighttime activity, intense fog, hidden gravestones, and kids who see ghosts, this haunted house is ready to burst at the seams at any moment. (dir. Alejandro Amenábar, Spain, 2001, 104 min) 

“Absence makes the heart beat faster: the absence of light, the corporeal absence of loved ones. Shrewdly cast, Kidman is pitch perfect. It’s a clammy, ingenious film, one of the best studio movies of the year.” – TimeOut
