No one can make mystery and horror movies like the Spaniards do, probably no one else can. Try to imagine a movie without blood, without special effects, and that at the same time would be scary to the point of shivering, and that's exactly what 'The Others' will be.
The tension here is created and maintained the old-fashioned way. We see a house shrouded in fog, with the windows always tightly curtained and the steps creaking.
Otherworldly voices and footsteps are heard in this house, and doors open and close by themselves.
But behind the external, visual manifestations of fear, the underlying, social fear is slightly lost. It is veiled, it is invisible.
And if you think about it and realize it, it becomes really scary.
Look at Nicole Kidman, at Alakina Mann, at the boy with the sickly, cranky face who played the role of Nicholas, and think about how easily we can lose our children, and how difficult it is to find their love.
Or maybe primness and coldness make us ghosts already in our lifetime?
And suddenly, whether fate, whether God, gives us a chance, another chance to correct our mistakes, whether we are worthy to accept it.
This is what we need to look at, this is what we need to think about.
