September 14, 2009It?s nice to see Eric Sykes still going strong but this was only an average 'horror' film for me.

June 14, 2009Am I really rating this movie this well? Yes I am. The main reason is that I am not into horror movies: the genre as a whole is contrived, and rarely does anything remotely horrifying. The Others is not horrifying either, but it was a rarity in that I actually found it suspensefu...( read more)

May 1, 2009"The Others" is a suspenseful horror film unlike many these days. Most are concerned with blood and gore, teenage girls getting naked, body count, and not scary. "The Others" is atmospheric, spooky, bloodless, and carried by strong acting and fleshed out characters. Yet, it takes...( read more)

November 10, 2009A pretty cool old fashioned haunting story although you see the "twist" coming a mile away. (And btw, marketing people? Telling people there IS a twist just makes it easier to GUESS the twist than if you don't say there's a twist. Just saying.) The design and look of the movie re...( read more)

November 8, 2009This film is atmospheric, but it's too horror for my liking. It could've been more of a thriller horror (like The Ring). It just wanted to scare us. Also, I thought it would've been better if her husband didn't show up. It really slowed up the film.
Great atmosphere, direction, ...( read more)

I saw the ending a mile away and couldn't have jumped higher. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Bumpy at first, with a few too many clichés and an awful lot of doors opening and closing. But by its final image -- a beautifully fading portrait through a window -- I was swept in. full review
August 10, 2001
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In drawing out his effects, Amenabar is a little too confident that style can substitute for substance. full review
August 10, 2001
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The director's technical rigor, in other words, outstrips his conceptual discipline, and midway through the film he crosses the thin boundary that separates mystery from muddle. full review
August 9, 2001
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
When it comes to turning the screws of psychological terror, Amenebar is an expert technician. full review
August 9, 2001
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
The film is beautiful to behold but lacking in any kind of palpable dread or suspense. full review

October 29, 2007It's been a long time since I've seen it, and believe me I'd tried to look for it on dvd, but I've yet to come close. I don't remember it that well, only that I was shocked to know the truth. It was great. I wish to see it again soon.

October 20, 2007Sencillamente excelente! la vi dos veces, la vere nuevamente y no me canso. Es buenísima la forma en que produce escalofríos y suspenso sin escenas horripilantes como es usual hoy en día en las películas de miedo. Nicole kidman es tan polifacética en sus actuaciones, se introduce tanto en su personaje que lo interpreta espectacularmente. Además la trama es hipnotizante, no te permite despegarte, es como un film de suspenso/terror/psicológico.
