Review of The Others

The Others (2001)
4/10
not too impressed
18 July 2002
This movie wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be. It did all the things I don't like a movie to do. The first 30 minutes were full of false scares and unfulfilled suspense. In the middle, there was a VERY long patch where not much of anything was going on. Finally, an eight year old could have predicted the "big exciting TWIST" at the end.

One good point: The creators didn't use a lot of gore to make up for the lack of imagination. I've always believed that what you don't see can be far scarier than what you do see (example, Blair Witch).

Sorry to say I cannot recommend this one.
