About The Others

At the end of World War II, Grace (Nicole Kidman) lives in a remote estate in the Channel Islands with her two photosensitive children. She spends her isolated days protecting her children from the sun and awaiting word on her husband, missing in the war. When one of the children suddenly claims to start seeing ghosts, Grace and the kids are thrown into a chilling maze of confusion and supernatural threat, questioning who to trust, what to fear, and what to believe. With each stunning twist and turn, writer/director Alejandro Amenábar immerses us deeper in a realm of haunted spirits, guilt, trauma, and repression. [104 min; horror, mystery, supernatural; English]

"Influenced by haunted-house classics like The Innocents and Rebecca, this brilliantly restrained ghost story is a dramatization of extreme repression that builds toward an explosive reckoning." — Philip Horne, The Criterion Channel

"With its dark old house, its persistent past and its invasive hauntings, Alejandro Amenábar’s fifth feature offers all the trappings of a classic gothic, while turning the screw with a very unusual perspective on these supernatural goings-on." — Anton Bitel, Little White Lies

"Alejandro Amenábar’s elegant chiller creates more tension from atmosphere alone than most other horror films do from vats full of fake blood." — Wendy Ice, Times (UK)
