    Summary

    The Others stands out as an extraordinary film from multiple perspectives. In a time where horror movies often rely on excessive gore and shocking visuals to impress young fans, Amenu00e1bar takes a refreshing approach, reminding the audience that fear can be evoked through suggestion and the absence of explicit imagery. This film marks a return to intelligent horror, skillfully building tension through its atmospheric and eerie settings, providing a welcome departure from the norm. It's a subtle yet highly effective experience. Nicole Kidman, whom I'm not usually a fan of, delivers a convincing performance as a prudish and overly concerned mother, determined to shield her children from the outside world, particularly daylight. Set in a remote mansion during WWII, the film introduces us to a family living in anticipation of the war's end. However, with the arrival of three servants, strange occurrences begin to unfold, and the daughter becomes convinced of the presence of intruders. While the screenplay, written by Amenu00e1bar himself, may not be entirely unique, it cleverly incorporates ingenious elements and delivers sublime dialogues. Drawing comparisons to 'The Innocents,' The Others should be proud of this association, as it is a favorable one.
