Critics Consensus

The Others is a spooky thriller that reminds us that a movie doesn't need expensive special effects to be creepy.

Little White Lies

Oct 18, 2023

With its dark old house, its persistent past and its invasive hauntings, Alejandro Amenábar’s fifth feature offers all the trappings of a classic gothic, while turning the screw with a very unusual perspective on these supernatural goings-on.

Alejandro Amenábar’s elegant chiller creates more tension from atmosphere alone than most other horror films do from vats full of fake blood.

4/5

The Others proves that you don't always have to reinvent the wheel for a good ghost story and sometimes all you need it a captivating lead performer and a spooky mansion.

10/10

It’s an exceptional example of gothic horror, exploring the darker aspects of life and death, maintaining an oppressive and claustrophobic atmosphere, and leaning heavily on suspense and mystery.
