Load of rubbish!!
Highly Overrated But Still Good
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This film gets to the skin of you , unlike others horror types the ending surprises the viewers , nicole kidman rules the screen with her amazing acting . An epic film cant be missed at any cost.
This is one great movie! - Considering i feel that way DESPITE there being two children that play a major role is even higher praise (for me ... because children in movies - and especially children in horror movies is usually a black mark destined to fail) I love the atmosphere, the plot as such - and the acting (hm - alright, everyone "except" the little boy - who i wish had ha died a terrible and gory death, indeed) The movie does not step too deep into "the usual" horror tropes - like bad communication, splitting up or pointless jump scares that result in nothing (usually during the first act of almost every horror movie).Nicole Kidman is great and i always love Christopher Ecclestone. Actually the whole cast is great (yes, even the boy - i am not annoyed at his acting abilities - but at what role he has to play as a character) I also liked the conclusion of the story - i am not sure if this "twist" has been used before - but for me it was quite new, especially the "tone" of it.I have just recently re-watched it (2017) - and the movie has aged incredibly well (of course mostly because it relies on atmosphere and acting, and only on very low key effects (which seem to be mostly practical - or off screen anyway) i can fully recommend this movie.
It started like a classic family movie, you watch at rainy evenings, but it started growing with a creepy-disturbing atmosphere. In this horror movie do not expect a lot of jump-scares or gore scenes,but every scary part was worth it. We recommend this movie to everyone, who is looking for ghostly-eerie movie and wants to have a good feeling after it. We really enjoyed it, but the beginning of movie wasn't as we expect, it started really slowly.
Writer-director Alejandro Amenábar has visual imagination and panache to spare, however his screenplay about a woman and her two sick children living in a gloomy mansion in the Channel Islands in 1945 doesn't offer many new tricks in the haunted house genre (even the colorless title tells you that). Nicole Kidman is imposing and impenetrable as the proprietress of the manor who can't seem to explain the absence of her husband--and who keeps her precocious kids out of the sun because they're allergic to ultra-violet light. Kidman is one of the best actresses we have working today; her film selections continue to be intriguing (she isn't afraid to take risks, which is clear with her work here). She is also very lovely to watch. Fionnula Flanagan is flawless as the new housekeeper who has arrived mysteriously (with a mute assistant and a gardener in tow) after the previous staff has vanished into the night. In fact, all the performers excel with this material, however the shuddery scenario is stuffed with red herrings that only serve to weigh down the ultimate explanation. Amenábar stages a grand scene near the end in a graveyard, but he's less successful at paring down the dross and giving the viewer a really good fright (instead, piano music at night drives Kidman into hysterics, while her taunting daughter teases her endlessly with facetious comments). The picture does work on occasion, this mostly due to the acting and the handsome production. *** from ****
