The others isn’t really my kind of genre of film but I found it surprisingly okay. Except at the end I did find it a bit confusing as it didn’t make sense if the family were living or dead. Grace (Nicole Kidman), the devotedly religious mother, of Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley) moves her family to a large, Gothic house on the English coast awaiting her husband to return from the war. As well as this, Grace is trying to protect her two children who have a disease (xeroderma pigmentosum) which means they cannot be touched by direct sunlight without coming up in blisters. Anne claims she can see ghosts much to her mother's displease, who does not believe in such thing. Nevertheless, Anne continues to demand that she witnessed the ghosts, making Grace believe that the new servants are displaying tricks on her children, to cause them terror and confusion. However, Grace has a strange experience that leads her to consider that something supernatural has taken place. I would recommend this film to anyone aged 10+ as the is many creepy parts or jump scares.
