The Others (Blu-Ray, #1195)
Ā
A remote manor; hushed, candlelit atmosphere; and shivery, supernatural menace. With his first English-language feature, Chilean Spanish writer-director-composer Alejandro AmenĆ”bar resurrected the classic gothic chiller to create a ghost story of uncommon emotional resonance. Nicole Kidman stars as a World War IIāera mother whose imperiousness masks a terrifying pain, as she keeps her light-sensitive children enshrouded in darkness on her country estate. The arrival of three new servants punctures her insular worldāand seems to disturb the balance between the living and the dead. With each stunning twist and turn, AmenĆ”bar immerses us more deeply in a realm haunted not only by spirits but also by guilt, trauma, and repression.
