Snider A- "Like the best ghost stories, it's frightening because of what you don't see; suspenseful because we anticipate disaster, not because it has struck."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B- "Though it creates tension and manages a few effective jolts,...after it's over frustrated viewers may be inclined to call it 'The Sixth Nonsense.'"   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Eschewing the mayhem of most Hollywood horror stories, Alejandro Amenabar makes the fears of Grace and her children vivid and palpable."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "It's atmospheric, stylish, and spooky. The plot is well thought-out and its secrets and mysteries are unveiled slowly. Unfortunately, it is also cold, distancing, and moves at a glacial pace."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "a classically elegant, yet gut-wringing ghost story with a brilliantly conceived twist ending"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/4 "What it lacks in slick computer graphics is more than made up for in creepy dramatic cliches."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "Good ghost story ... genuinely creepy."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "This is the sort of old-fashioned, but highly effective horror/ suspense picture that puts any and all 'slasher' films to shame in both eliciting the goosebumps and delivering the scares in an intelligent fashion."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 9/10 "A very cool, very creepy, very dark ghost story."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2.5/5 "a simplistic one-trick film I’m sure to forget about entirely within a week—very much along the lines of The Sixth Sense (without its charms)"   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit 8/10 "...relies as much on the evocation of mood as it does on things that go bump in the night."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "The Others, like its popular predecessors The Sixth Sense and The Usual Suspects, keeps us (here, literally) in the dark for the entire movie and then, just before everyone packs up to leave, throws a shocking curve our way making us rethink everything we"   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 3.5/4 "Los Otros representa un nuevo clásico del género, y el tiempo seguramente le dará el justo lugar que merece."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3.5 "The real star of the movie is the atmosphere, presented beautifully by cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe and The Unknown Gaffer, as well as the house itself."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B "an enjoyable, well made thriller for those who like things that go bump in the night"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/5 "The fact that the big surprise is so obvious makes the deliberate pacing seem painfully slow."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "As surprising a gem as you can find in what seems like an increasingly tired genre."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "The creepy joy of this film is in the capacity it has for astounding even the most jaded movie lover."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "Packs a formidable fright simply through the time-tested special effect of atmosphere."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4/5 "The sound effects editors and cinematographer ... had a field day with this film."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 " This one gives you all the requisite chills and thrills, and still manages to be about something."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Creeps into your bones and makes you shiver."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 4/5 "Muitos filmes são capazes de provocar sustos; poucos, porém, conseguem causar arrepios como Os Outros."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca B "With a top-notch lead and a talented director, it delivers some smart summer chills that serve as a nice tonic from CGI-laden banality."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 3.5/4 "Kidman hits perfect notes of stubbornness, desperation, denial and terror as the film builds to its climax."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 9/10 "Thanks to a deft directorial hand, a wonderful attention to detail and some gloriously entertaining performances, The Others ranks among the best movies of the year."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "Rarely has one absorbing premise unraveled so quickly under the weight of the ludicrous twist."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "The Others is a modern horror film with an old-fashioned touch, relying on suggestion and suspense to generate fear."   ESplatter   Steve Biodrowski B "Watch it, and see what was wrong with the Zemeckis/Ford/Pfeiffer flop What Lies Beneath."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus "The Others is that most atypical of Hollywood productions: it is magnificently understated and dedicated to earning its reactions through that holy cinematic trinity of script, direction, and performance."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 6/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Jonathan F.
