In 'The Others', Nicole Kidman plays a woman living with her two photosensitive children in a secluded, darkened old mansion. As peculiar events unfold, they become convinced that the house is haunted.
A widow and her two photosensitive children believe their dark old house is haunted by intruders. It is, in a sense the second viewing makes literal. Amenábar plants the answer in the children’s drawings, the locked doors, the constantly drawn curtains.
Nicole Kidman's grieving mother explains everything to us calmly. Amenábar lets her lie for ninety minutes before showing why she has been lying — to us, to her children, to herself.
