| Posted by: urbanlegend23 at November 28, 2001, 2:28 am | | Topic: Reviews: The Others Forum: JoBlo | | One word aptly describes this movie: horrifying. The Others is a splendid film, and a horrifying one. I am absolutely sure this movie will be the scariest experience on film for the year, and it beats of such scare-fests as What Lies Beneath and The Exorcist in the spook factor. This movie would certainly earn a 10/10 in that area! The movie earned a 9/10 in the overall quality and enjoyable area because of its ending. This movie was getting a 10/10, but when the ending came, however clever it was, ruined that score. I just thought the style of the movie completely disappeared when the final reel came. However, the rest of the movie is ingenious, mysterious, scary and extremely clever. Nicole Kidman gives a stunner of a performance as the isolated mother Grace. She acts scared brilliantly! I haven’t been a fan of hers really but after Moulin Rouge I was intrigued to see if she could continue choosing good movies and giving much better performances than she was in the early 1990’s. Well, Nicole, 2001 is your year! In this movie, Nicole is able to pull of plenty of emotions and be completely realistic and endlessly stay in character. Nicole, you’ve earned one more fan! The director uses his dreamy ideas and things we know we’re all scared of but never admit to believing to make this movie a complete pleasure and always an eerie and dark one to watch. Overall, I thought this movie was absolutely 10/10 material, but after the ending, I put it down a point for almost copying The Sixth Sense’s idea. But I still love the movie and look forward to a second viewing. This is one heck of a scary ride, so be prepared! The Others - 9/10 [This message has been edited by urbanlegend23 (edited 11-28-2001).] |
