Others (2001), dir. Alejandro Amenábar
Others are a horror game definitely for fans of gothic tales. Grace and the children move into a huge, old and dark house. The family does not leave their place, because the woman’s children suffer from a disease that makes them avoid sunlight. Soon after they move, the heroes begin to notice someone’s presence. The disturbing, evocative and enigmatic film directed by Alejandro Amenábar is one of those that sow in the viewer the seeds of anxiety that sprout as the plot unfolds. Apart from the horror, the atmosphere plays an important role in the film, as well as the unhurried narration. The main role is played by Nicole Kidman, whose presence guarantees acting on a solid level.
