DianaThe Others with Nicole Kidman
March 11th 2010 01:36
Hey has anyone else seen that relatively old film starring Nicole Kidman called 'The Others'? Watched it the other day and it has a really spooky twist.
Set in an isolated very old country house on an island 'somewhere in England' it shows a young mother and her two children waiting at the end of the second world war for the return of her soldier husband.
Three servants knock at the door asking for work which they are granted. Weird things happen, noises, the two children and mother are spooked.
An old photo album is found which has pictures of the previous family as they lay or sat dead.
The father returns, somnolent and withdrawn and after a few days returns to the battlefield.
The mother (Nicole) believes the house must be haunted.
Then she finds the headstones of the three servants in the nearby graveyard.
Panic. An old musket is found. A seance seems to be held.
Turns out Nicole and her kids are the ghosts. We watch as they and we come to terms with this twist. Then they kind of 'disappear'.
At the end we see the 'real' family shutting the gates on their 'weekender' with a 'for sale' sign dangling.
Creepy as!
