Title: Classic Ghost Story Film
Review: Nicole Kidman does an incredible job acting in this film as a beleaguered mother whose children cannot be in the sunlight due to a dangerous allergy. Living in a mansion completely in the dark is haunting on its own, but the children are quite certain there are ghosts living with them, too. Add in some mysterious servants and some high tension moments and you’ve got a great story, along with a pretty big twist at the end.

Review: The 4K release of The Others brings new life to this chilling gothic thriller, enhancing its eerie atmosphere with stunning clarity and improved shadow detail. Nicole Kidman’s haunting performance is even more captivating in this beautifully restored edition, making it a must-watch for fans of psychological horror.

Title: Sometimes the Living and the Dead Get All Mixed Up
Review: I am happy to have purcahsed Criterion’s edition of “The Others,” though I wish they had offered a less expensive DVD version. (The film is shot in such a muted palette, swirling in mist and fog, that Blu-Ray is, in my opinion, unnecessary for visual fidelity.) Watching it twenty-three years after seeing it in a theater, I found that the movie still holds up. Writer-director Alejandro Amenábar credits “The Innocents” (1961) and “The Changeling” (1980) as his direct inspirations. One can see the influence of those two fine movies on this one—especially the central role played by children in all three.Other reviews will outline plot details: perhaps too many, which spoil surprises. Let’s leave it at this: “The Others” creates a claustrophobic atmosphere, in which a very high-strung mother feels she must protect her two young children in an isolated manor near the end of World War II. She’s right about their need for protection, though for reasons she does not comprehend. If you are looking for sudden shocks with crafty camera placement or gore from the makeup masters, this is not your movie. This is a much subtler, better film. Although she receives excellent support from other actors, particularly Fionnula Flangan, as well as Alikanna Mann and James Bentley—two young children whose performances are so convincing that I feared for their psychological well-being—Nicole Kidman carries this movie on her capable shoulders. Truth to tell, I was a bit worried about Ms. Kidman’s mental health: although every movie is make-believe, she had to spend so many months playing a tightly wound watch that I wondered how she kept her balance when the cameras weren’t turning. Good news all around: she’s a pro, and Mr. Amenábar took the kids to amusement parks for giddy play, while their parents were on the set to assure they were fine. The movie’s ending shouldn’t have gobsmacked me but did all the same.The full Criterion treatment is unrolled here, with audio commentaries and a supplemental disc brimming with extended interviews and related topics. Included is a rather unsetttling segment about a plot point in the movie: early twentieth-century photographs of the dead, laid out before burial.”The Others” may not be the best supernatural story committed to film, but I’d place it among my top twelve. If you want only the movie without all the production’s bells and whistles, a less expensive DVD version may be the way to go.

Title: Classic Del Toro gets the Criterion treatment.
Review: For a LONG time, this movie was hard to find without resorting to slightly-less-than-legal means. I really wanted to upgrade my DVD to blu ray or at least stream it in HD, but it was really hard to come across. Not only is it back in print and on Streaming (Finally), but the folks at Criterion did a wonderful job restoring it. Pepsi challenge the old DVD if you have a copy. The difference is astounding.As for the movie itself, I consider it very underrated. It was a big deal in 2001 when it was released, and has kind of fallen by the wayside in terms of popularity. I’m a huge horror fan, and absolutely love the gothic atmosphere. And while it is filled to the brim with spookiness and suspence, there’s no gore and not a ton of jumpscares (Be warned, the movie starts with a jumpscare). So if you’re squeamish, this might be a safer option for you. Amazing performance by Nichole Kidman, with great cinematography. If you’re familiar with “Turn of the Screw” and movies that adapted it like “The Innocents” from 1960, it’s a lot like those in terms of story and tone. Check it out if you like supernatural horror and you missed this one. It’s great.
