The Others

“Sooner or later they’ll find you.”

Doors in the manor on Jersey must be locked behind you before the next one opens, and the curtains stay drawn, because Anne and Nicholas cannot bear daylight. Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) keeps the house dark in 1945 while the children's strange talk of other people in the rooms grows harder to wave off. Alejandro Amenábar leaves her little to hold but her faith and her fear, and she grips both tighter with each unexplained sound.
