| Nice, creepy ghost story. |

| I haven't seen the original, but this version, with none of the jump-cuts and gore one expects from horror movies, delivers an interesting and creepy ghost story. There could have been better character development, but all in all, it was a good workmanlike job of storytelling on all sides, with an ending I didn't see coming by very much. It made for a pretty entertaining evening. |
| Innocents anyone? |

| This movie is, to my eyes, a rip off of the 1961 film The Innocents, which is an adaptation of the Turn Of The Screw. The Innocents is much spookier and a better film all around. |

| It boggles my mind that people don't finish movies and then think they know enough to review them. Just because pacing is slow and quiet doesn't mean a film is boring. Not all movies need to be flashy MTV videos. The Others is one of my all-time favorite horror films...it's definitely worth sitting through, and especially with this one, you need to sit through to the end before judging it. |

| Other people seemed to find this movie suspenseful, I just found it dull. Kidman's character had no depth and everyone else seemed like stock horror movie characters. Freaky kids with psychic abilities, old people who know all about what's going on but don't come right out and tell it to you, ghosts who start out subtle and become more and more demonstrative, yadda yadda yadda. I made it about 40 minutes in and gave up out of frustration. |
