Plot: THE OTHERS begins with a close-up of a woman screaming. By the time this intense film ends, everyone watching it will be screaming and gasping. Nicole Kidman stars as Grace, a woman raising two children by herself in a creepy mansion. World War II is over, but Grace's husband never returned. Meanwhile, the two children, Anne and Nicholas, must constantly stay in the dark because they are deathly allergic to light. Then one day three people show up to take over for Grace's disappeared staff, and trouble starts to brew. The odd trio--an aging nanny, an elderly gardener, and a young mute girl--seems to have a slightly different agenda than Grace and the children do. But when Anne starts talking to strange, unseen people, the scares start building to an incredible climax.Alejandro Amenábar's highly stylized English-language debut is one of the better haunted-house films of the past few years. Not only did Amenábar write and direct the film but he composed the eerie music as well. Nicole Kidman is outstanding as the overprotective mother trying to save her children, while Fionnula Flanagan excels as the nanny with a deep, dark secret.

Any fan of a good old fasioned haunted house film would enjoy this. Recommended if you want something that doesn't rely on computer effects to get scares from the audience. 7/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
In an age of dumb teen slasher flicks it's great to see an intelligent genre picture that's anchored by a solid performance by Kidman and oodles of quiet suspense. A bit slower-paced but pretty compelling even if most plot twists are easy to grab.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Faults and all, The Others is an exodus into ghostly, gothic horror, a grandly cinematic vision of a home's haunted existence. 85/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
While fans of "The Innocents" will clearly see a lot of similarities between this film in that, "The Others"s story is more in line with what modern audiences expect from thrillers, delivering a faster pace and a nice twist ending that doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense but is nonetheless effective.-- (eSplatter.com)
If you enjoy watching boring ass movies like Sixth Sense, and think the endings are fantastic, this is a movie for you, otherwise, I recommend you stay away from this overhyped sleeper.  --Mr Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)

It’s a masterwork of strong storytelling, what “The Innocents” was to the 60s horror frame. Now if black-and-white was as popular as it was then, “The Others” would be any classic horror aficionado’s wet dream.  --Matt Dalton (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
