15 Favorite Horror Movies: The Others (2001)

No matter how many times I watch The Others, the revelation of the mystery still punches me hard in the heart. That's because the power of The Others isn't just in it's surprising answers, but the human emotions involved and the way the answers affect the characters. 

A huge part of why it works so well is the excellent performances, especially by Nicole Kidman, Fionnula Flanagan, and the two kids: Alakina Mann and James Bentley. Christopher Eccleston also has a small, important role, but he's not quite as memorable as the main characters.

well, Michael, I finally got down to you on the list. How is it going for you?
Anyway, I cannot believe that I have never seen this movie. I love Nicole Kidman! I am going to have to find this one I suppose!

Hi, Michelle! You're going much faster than I am! I'm working my way through the list; it's just taking me longer. Happy Halloween!
