The Others

2 out of 5 snowstones This is a ghost story in the most classical tradition, which means that even though it has a pretty unnerving twist at the end, it still operates within the limits of the supernatural. Nicole Kidman has yet more of her mastery of the various accents of the English language to show off, and otherwise, she carries the movie convincingly. What's wrong with this movie is the revelation at the end. During the movie, I came up with this result, but the story behind it wasn't very obvious from the movie itself. All in all, it doesn't wrap up nicely, which is ultimately what makes the movie unsatisfying.
