THE OTHERS

Directed and written by Alejandro Amenábar in 2001. This was one of the most controversial movies of its time due to the plot, and the unexpected ending it had.  One of the highest-paid actresses starred in this movie Nicole Kidman that was forgotten by many over time, but today we will relive its mystery.

PLOT

This story begins with Grace Stewart, who frequently has nightmares and vague memories of strange situations. She lives in a huge house with her two children, Anne and Nicholas. She is looking for someone to take care of her house, she needs a housekeeper, a gardener, and a cook. Soon a family arrives and takes care of it, but then strange things start to happen. His daughter talks with a boy who claims to be dead, and that causes a lot of discord to break out between everyone. 

Things get strange, noises are heard around the house, and it doesn't take long to discover that their servants are dead, and have been dead for decades! It all begins to make sense when Grace and her children are persecuted by a dead family who claims to know the truth and want to explain everything to them. But Grace is too scared to accept it so she flees and finally through a strange spiritist event she realizes that she has also been dead for many years along with her children. Blazing and confused she remembers and accepts things while deciding to drink a cup of tea with Bertha, the dead cook.

SCORE:

This movie at first seems a bit confusing and normal, but as time goes by you discover many mysteries that make it interesting. What stands out a lot about this movie is the suspense and confusion it has because there are many things you don't know why are happening. I give it a 7 out of 10 because it doesn't have as much terror or bloody scenes.

WHY I WOULD RECOMMEND IT?

I recommend this movie to those people who like mystery and movies that blow up your head because there are scenes that are not well understood until the movie ends. There is a scene that I have not been able to understand and I would like you to tell me if you got the hidden message and it is the following:

 Why does the husband come back, make love to her and leave again?
