Probably been 20 years since I first saw this film, and I still consider it to be one of the most atmospheric, unnerving, and genuinely creepy stories I've ever seen. An exception in a sea of supposedly 'scary' movies.
@@ArgentLeftoversyeah, most of the media just shrugged their shoulders at it, but I loved it, although I had figured out what was going on very quickly it didn't ruin my appreciation of the movie itself. I can't point out any significant misstep in the direction, writing or acting. Good stuff.
29:56 also found that moment in the film beautiful, mother and daughter who rejected each other the entire film finally embrace. & in that moment of peril the mother sighs in happiness as if to say I have my daughter back… then moments later we find out she killed her lol
Nichole Kidman is one of the best actresses around. The scene where she wanders through the mist in the English countryside & runs into her de@d husband k I’ll ed on a WW1 battlefield is the most erie scene I have ever witnessed in a movie! This movie as well as “The Devils Advocate are both masterpieces!
I'm curious if have, or would... stream a playthrough of Portal 1 and 2 (if you haven't played them already or aren't already familiar with them)? Perhaps do a poll if you haven't yet? I've noticed on other channels that playthroughs of both tend to garner A LOT of views!
"...they're children..." ... Yeah? And? That's what their religion says happens. If it's true, shouldn't she be warning them about it as early as possible? Remember, children _can_ die, and without that warning, if the religion is true, they'll be tormented for it. Sure, some more moderate versions of Christianity teach that they won't be tormented if they're so young, but... that's not actually in the bible, that's just a response to the seeming unfairness if that isn't the case, and so people _made up_ extra stuff based on the idea that God is entirely fair and thus wouldn't do that. "...there's something about this house... is it haunted..." Yes. ... :) "...is that what they said about mute people back in the day..." 'Deaf, dumb, and blind'. Can't hear, can't speak, can't see. In fact if you look up the word 'dumb' in most dictionaries, it mentions this definition. The association with a lack of intelligence comes from it being applied to animals. 'Dumb animals' doesn't mean they aren't smart, it means they can't speak. These days, it's considered offensive. "...they are the ghosts..." It was fun seeing your reaction to that. "...this was all a seance..." Aaaand... watching _this_ realization hit was awesome, too. :) "...the movie itself wasn't really scary..." What this movie excelled at was building tension. The fear was all of your own production, rather than what was shown. That, too, can be scary. It's how it works in real life most of the time. Rather than having a scary thing _actually_ happen to you, you're in a situation where you are less certain, less comfortable, and so your mind conjures threats where there are none. This is a useful survival tactic, not really great for reasoning. Have a nice day!
I would clarify that the word is considered antiquated and offensive if used in that sense today. The modern way to refer to someone who doesn't/can't speak is "non-verbal", with "mute" used previously also, although never as a slur.
@@maxhall2086 True enough. It can be a problem for writing period pieces. I wrote a play set in 2007 and someone on the autism spectrum was said to have "Asperger's Syndrome" which is not how she would be described today. But the fact that someone (her mother) does not really understand her condition is an important part of the plot. But another play set circa 1840 a character called a group of people "gypsies" and there was simply nothing else anyone would historically call them. But the character speaking was making a point about how they are being oppressed, So context is pretty much everything. People sometimes have strange (or at least unexpected) reactions to certain words. I wrote a play about Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert, and I nearly always got complaints he would not have been called "Bob" because it was "too modern." Which is absurd because absolutely EVERYONE in real life called this man Bob. Thanks for letting me flap my mouth. Language is powerful. I myself think I would have used the word "mute" had I written this screenplay.
Nicole Kidman killed this role. I dislike horror movies in general, but I really enjoy this one. Another one I like is "Orphan", from 2009 I believe. It also has a little bit of a twist. I think you would enjoy it as well.
One of the best movies for adult-based horror ever made. It doesn't rely on gore, sex or nudity at all. It reminds me of movies made by directors like Alfred Hitchcock.
Fun facts: 14:54 The person in the painting is a Spanish actor named Eduardo Noriega. Nicole Kidman's work as Grace was widely praised, receiving nominations for the industry's most important awards, such as the Golden Globe. However, she was never 100% convinced of making the film. At first, she tried to persuade Amenábar and the production company to look for another actress, since her character was very dark for her, especially after making a film like "Moulin Rouge!". Even during rehearsals, Kidman quit a couple of times due to the nightmares that playing this role caused her. In the end, she managed to overcome her fears and gave us an amazing performance. When Nicole Kidman is looking at the photos of the dead, in the group of three men, the one on the right (with a mustache) is the director of the film Alejandro Amenábar and his two roommates at the time. In the dress scene, Alakina Mann, who played Anne, didn't want to wear it because she didn't like it, so Amenábar wore one just like it to convince her. Although the final twist may seem like a copy of "The Sixth Sense", Amenábar began writing the script for this film before Shyamalan's film was released. Amenábar did not speak English at that time, therefore, the film's script was written in Spanish and later translated into English. Originally, the story of the film would take place in southern Chile. However, once Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman got involved in the project, all things changed. Cruise made the decision to be one of the producers, after seeing "Abre los ojos" the previous film of Amenábar (in whose remake, "Vanilla Sky", he was the main character. In spanish version, the main character was performed by Eduardo Noriega, the one in the painting). That made the film be shot in English and have another context. Amenábar did not know how to speak English, as I have already said, at that time, so he took intensive classes to be able to carry out the project. "The Others" was also the last collaboration between Cruise and Kidman, since two days before the film was released, both actors signed their divorce.
Grace's scream right at the beginning is not an ordinary nightmare. It's the realisation of what she has done to her children and herself. Also the scene where Grace is loading the shotgun for the first time, she can be seen pausing in a recollective moment after she slams the breach shut. This is most likely due to her faint realization of déja vu , most likely alluding to her suicide by using the same gun. It is subtle, but noticeable!
When Grace asks when Lydia went "dumb" she does not mean Lydia is stupid or anything. "Dumb" in this context is an anachronism for the term mute. I do not know if you have ever heard someone say that something "struck them dumb". It means that something shocked them speechless.
I feel so sad for the husband/dad. Poor guy went to war, died there and then found out that his wife killed the kids. He was so happy to see his wife and then so crushed. I cant believe how much grief he was going though at that moment.
I enjoyed how you had correctly identified by the 9th minute that every single character seemed a bit weird...and then the movie does such a great job at re-directing your suspicions.
Take a notice when Anne is talking with Victor in the bedroom at night when the curtains open and close. The hand that reaches to touch Anne's brother is Victor. You can see the clothing on the arm is different.
I love rewatching this movie for a second time after knowing the twist at the end - you pick up on so many hints, like the “stop breathing” when you find out the children were smothered, and the constant migraines after finding out she shot herself in the head. Also the only haunted movie I’ve seen from the perspective of the ghosts! Such a cool, underrated movie.
This is a suspense film, not a jump scare film. Lazy movie makers depend too much on SFX & jump scares & not enough on exquisite writing & acting. What was unsaid about the husband was that he found his way home to say goodbye to family who'd be unable to perceive him, & he was horrified that they were dead, too! Anna told him her memory or how, while not comprehending that she was dead. My head cannon is that he's on one of those haunted battlefields where you can hear the long ago fighting. And yes, until the 50s or 60s, dumb was a way to say mute. Then it was deemed offensive, & the meaning changed.
Everyone when they first watch this are so put off with how Grace talks to her kids and particularly in how she talks about the darker parts of the Bible not trying to sugarcoat it at all guys that was very normal for the time period kids couldn't afford to be kids for very long they grew up very quickly.
First time I watched it, I was stunned how it ended. Was not expecting that AT ALL! xD A fantastic movie that I recommend to everyone that wants a scary movie without gore :D
For another film that stars Nicole Kidman (together with Ewan MacGregor) which came out in the same year, I recommend the movie musical Moulin Rouge (2001). It's a lot of fun!
I got this on dvd back when it first came out just to see what it was about and was so shocked by the twist. I completely forgot the help was gone too. I just remembered the mother, husband and kids were. I also forgot about the living in the house doing a seance. This was a nice little refresher. The subtitles were very helpful. Nicole kidman was just gorgeous. I still feel sorry for jimmy fallon and that missed opportunity. When anne wore that white wedding type dress i always thought she looked like a ghost but there was no way I could've put it together without the reveal.
I saw this in a crowded theater a couple of weeks before the World Trade Center attacks. Will never forget it. Very underrated movie. Nicole Kidman is incredible.
not that i belive or am scared by ghosts but some 45 years ago when i was a child i can remember in my mothers house she used to have 2 portraits 1 on either side of the fire place and if you changed to portraits around from 1 side to the other they used to change back on their own..
Interestingly enough there is a condition called Xeroderma pigmentosum that is similar to what the mother said was wrong with the kids. As usual it got all hollywooded up to make ti way more extreme than it is in reality, but essentially, they got the basic concept of the condition right. It's the rapidity with which the blemishes and cancer will start to show that they exaggerated. And they left out the long term neurological damage that it can cause.
A pesar del reparto y la ambientación esta película es española. Su director, Alejandro Amenabar, llamó mucho la atención con su primera película, Tesis, que era una película de suspense/terror. Su siguiente película fue Abre los Ojos (suspense/terror/...). Tom Cruise vio Abre los Ojos y le encantó así que intento hacerse con los derechos para hacer un remake (ya sabemos como son los americanos, si algo les gusta lo tienen que hacer suyo haciendo un remake). Amenabar aprovechó la ocasión y parte del trato para cederle los derechos para un remake fue que produjera su siguiente película que fue esta, Los Otros, además así aprovechó para tener a Nicole Kidman en ella, que en esos momentos estaba casada con Cruise. El remake de Abre los Ojos se llamó Vanilla Sky y la protagonizan el propio Cruise, Penélope Cruz (que repite personaje porque ella ya estaba en Abre los Ojos) y Cameron Díaz. El papel protagonista en Abre los Ojos era interpretado por Eduardo Noriega, que también era uno de los protagonistas de Tesis y cuyo rostro es el que aparece,a modo de cameo, en blanco en el cuadro aquí en Los Otros. Te recomiendo que veas Abre los Ojos (no el remake de Cruise, que es peor). Y, si te gusta, Tesis. Otras películas españolas que te recomendaría, de otros directores, son REC (terror) y Promoción Fantasma (comedia de fantasmas).
Masterclass in how to make a creepy movie for grownups. It does not have to be gory if there is a solid script and great action. Very sophisticated, not what we think of when we say horror. Actually, the German occupation of the Channel Islands started out OK. The Germans got along with the Islanders, and many children were sent to relatives elsewhere. But then there was a blockade, and nothing got in or out -- starvation and violence followed, on both sides. The living conditions could have caused her to kill the children. Great reaction, by the way :)
If you’re looking for odd or bizarre films that will make you think and question everything you know about films, I’d recommend these: “Twin Peaks” by David Lynch “The Cell” starring Jennifer Lopez “The Fountain” starring Hugh Jackman “Pan’s Labyrinth” by Guillermo del Toro It's good to see that this film surprised you. It surprised all of us when we saw it in theaters too!
From this director, I strongly recommend "Thesis" (1996), his debut....... (Is it hypocrate on my behalf to promote spaniards directors? Bah, who cares? I should also say "El día de la Bestia" by Alex de la Iglesia, but somehow, I know you ain't going to like it)
They have been "low on ammo" since they invaded Ukraine. What standards are being used? Low compared to their Soviet era stockpiles? Compared to the U.S.
One would think that this movie was filmed in the UK, right? Well no, I was able to visit the house. It is the Hornillos Palace, in Cantabria, which is in the north of Spain
17:04 Yes Mute people that didn't talk were called Dumb. Nothing to do with their intelligence. It was a clinical descriptive. Along with the terms blind, deaf and dumb. That covers all conditions of the senses. *See* no evil, *Hear* no evil and *Speak* no evil.
An alternative version of this film could have the reveal that the mother snapped after losing her children to their illness including news of her husbands death all made worse by her living conditions The result being that she imagines them all still alive and the servants are actually mental health professionals playing along until they convince her of what's goung on So, like Shutter Island, I guess
i feel this is how La Llorona should have been filmed, not the bs they did with the 2019.. over explained with unnecessary lore that had nothing to do with the real story.. this is a great film tho, that twist is always good for new reactors
If the Sixth Sense (1999) hadn't existed, 🤔 This movie would have been a masterpiece 😊 Si no hubiera existido el Sexto Sentido (1999) 🤔 ésta película hubiera sido una obra maestra 😊
You seemed a little bewildered about the Mother chastising kids about laughter at the religious story. You never had religious instruction in catholic school. They used to beat the religion into you in the old days. And it took me 40 years to get back into religion because the Catholic school bullshit.
Just want to say you have THE BEST reaction channel, u even make the average movies (to me) fun and exciting to watch. Can i make a movie suggestion? Man on Fire (2004) w/Denzel Washington....u will not be disappointed. Great job (as always) and great channel !!!!!!!
'Is the house haunted?'😂. In the UK, Dumb is another word for mute, a deaf mute was referred to as deaf and dumb. I saw this video land the weekend but I've only just had chance to watch it. My daughter watched this the day before you posted. It was her first proper scary movie 👍. Now you have seen it, watch it again and see what you think of it then, especiallythe opening scream. Great reaction Kamilla 👍
@@Centane Right, lol. The movie was terrible imo. The book horrified me. It had me walking around in my apartment with a hammer for a few days lol. That old woman in the bathroom part😵
Thanks for your reaction of this different kind of ghost story--well done. I wanted to mention two movies to you. One is "A Ghost Story" from 2017, starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. Also told from the perspective of the ghost, very thought-provoking but also heart breaking. The second is "What About You" from 2007. It's about a young woman who gets stuck looking after a small group of demanding old people in a retirement home over Christmas (including the fabulous Vanessa Redgrave). Seems like something you would like and its heartwarming rather than heart-breaking. I'm sure you get a million requests, so do with these as you will. Cheers
I’ve been trying to turn all you movie reviewers to watch the 1963 movie the haunting. No monsters or ghosts just mood music and lighting. The hairs on the back of your neck will be up the whole time.
No sé si has visto El Sexto Sentido de M. Night Shyamalan (por otra parte uno de los creadores de cine fantástico más interesantes del panorama actual) pero creo que Amenábar hace un pequeño plagio con esta película un par de años después. Para mí, el director de origen hindú enmascara el giro de guion hasta el final, no lo puedes prever pero con Amenábar, recuerdo que a la mitad de la película pensé que era la única explicación posible.
This is such a great movie. I really love it. Usually I don't try to think about what might happen and just enjoy the show. Here I realized early what went on due to a Stargate SG1 episode, but that didn't spoil anything.
Un peliculón de Alejandro Amenavar. No es una película de miedo, hay tensión, suspense, casi sustos, pero la esencia es el punto de vista de los fantasmas. La desesperación de una madre sola sobrepasada por las circunstancias, que a pesar de amar prundamente a sus hijos, esa situación le conduce al más terrible de los actos. Su sentimiento de culpa, y de alivio al pesar que no fue real. Para mi el punto más fuerte es cuando se da cuenta que están muertos, pero no es por estar muertos, sino la confirmación del mayor de los temores de una madre... ¡que pedazo de actriz que es Nicole! Aún siendo tu reacción, que no veo la película, se me continúan saltado las lágrimas en ese punto.
For something a little lighter there is THE QUIET MAN wirh John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in a classic Love story with humor and some action thrown in set and filmed in Ireland. Still my all tome favorite since sern it in the 80s
An older movie with a similar title, "The Other" (1972), directed by Robert Mulligan of "To Kill a Mockingbird" fame, also has a similar premise, about a family with a pair of twins who aren't what they seem to be.
Probably been 20 years since I first saw this film, and I still consider it to be one of the most atmospheric, unnerving, and genuinely creepy stories I've ever seen. An exception in a sea of supposedly 'scary' movies.
It’s to this day my fav horror movie of all time.
It was SO overlooked when it came out.
@@ArgentLeftoversyeah, most of the media just shrugged their shoulders at it, but I loved it, although I had figured out what was going on very quickly it didn't ruin my appreciation of the movie itself. I can't point out any significant misstep in the direction, writing or acting. Good stuff.

I did not see it coming when I saw this on HBO!
The acting is so great in this movie , especially the kids ! Thanks again!
I never thought they are the ghost such a unique surprise 😂😂😂.
This movie keeps you guessing right until the sledgehammer blow ending! It is a nice Halloween movie to share with a friend.
Yessssss i love a brand new Kam upload. Her smile brightens up UA-cam 💯
Nichole Kidman is one of the best actresses around. The scene where she wanders through the mist in the English countryside & runs into her de@d husband k I’ll ed on a WW1 battlefield is the most erie scene I have ever witnessed in a movie!
This movie as well as “The Devils Advocate are both masterpieces!
30:55 lol. You preempt the insane twist there.
Stir of Echoes is another great ghost movie, and Haunter (2013).
I will say I laughed a bit when you commented about how there hadn't been any ghosts in the movie. Its like 'Well...'
I'm curious if have, or would... stream a playthrough of Portal 1 and 2 (if you haven't played them already or aren't already familiar with them)? Perhaps do a poll if you haven't yet? I've noticed on other channels that playthroughs of both tend to garner A LOT of views!
No one saw the end of this coming.Great ghost story,great reaction.
Here we go 😂
Second is LAW ABIDING CITIZEN with Gerard Butler playong against type and Jamie Foxx in one of his smartest roles yet
"...they're children..."

And now that you know the ending, watch it again and you'll like it still, just in another way
The situation is similar with the film "Shutter Island". When you watch it again, many incomprehensible scenes make sense.
"Dumb" is indeed a word for being unable or unwilling to speak.
One of THE best haunted house movies ever!
Thanks for your reaction.

Interesting concept of the ghosts being haunted by the living.
Reminds me of Beetlejuice
I feel so sad for the husband/dad. Poor guy went to war, died there and then found out that his wife killed the kids. He was so happy to see his wife and then so crushed. I cant believe how much grief he was going though at that moment.
If you enjoy this I recommend: Shutter Island, Sixth Sense, Before I Wake, Vanilla Sky, The Village.
Shutter Island reaction on my channel if you'd like to see it ❤️
@@Centane Thank you. I will.
Great recommendations, Mike!! All of them (and some, unfairly maligned-I will defend The Village all day!)
It's a ghost film but from the perspective of the ghosts, where the living are the ones that are scary, which I find to be a nice spin on the genre.
Reverse haunting is the sub genre. Haunter (2013) is another decent example.
I enjoyed how you had correctly identified by the 9th minute that every single character seemed a bit weird...and then the movie does such a great job at re-directing your suspicions.

They often used to refer to mutes as dumb. I can remember deaf mutes being referred to as deaf and dumb.
“I think it’s haunted.” Oh, lovely lady, if only you knew ... but you’ll find out.

Incredible twist, one of my faves, and you can watch it again and it’s like a different film as you see it from the ghosts perspective
Deaf and Dumb was assumed when someone was mute.
My favorite horror movie! 😊I have watched that one in the movie theater back in the day! Was an event! Good Reaction, Thank you!
For another film that stars Nicole Kidman (together with Ewan MacGregor) which came out in the same year, I recommend the movie musical Moulin Rouge (2001). It's a lot of fun!
This movie just came out with a criterion collection with a new 4k release and a bunch of new bonus features.

I don't think you know what 'underrated means...
Funny that halfway through you say that there hasn't been any ghosts. There were *only* ghosts!
Do you still get tablets after death? 😅
Hell yes love this movie cant wait for this!!!

A pesar del reparto y la ambientación esta película es española. Su director, Alejandro Amenabar, llamó mucho la atención con su primera película, Tesis, que era una película de suspense/terror. Su siguiente película fue Abre los Ojos (suspense/terror/...). Tom Cruise vio Abre los Ojos y le encantó así que intento hacerse con los derechos para hacer un remake (ya sabemos como son los americanos, si algo les gusta lo tienen que hacer suyo haciendo un remake). Amenabar aprovechó la ocasión y parte del trato para cederle los derechos para un remake fue que produjera su siguiente película que fue esta, Los Otros, además así aprovechó para tener a Nicole Kidman en ella, que en esos momentos estaba casada con Cruise. El remake de Abre los Ojos se llamó Vanilla Sky y la protagonizan el propio Cruise, Penélope Cruz (que repite personaje porque ella ya estaba en Abre los Ojos) y Cameron Díaz. El papel protagonista en Abre los Ojos era interpretado por Eduardo Noriega, que también era uno de los protagonistas de Tesis y cuyo rostro es el que aparece,a modo de cameo, en blanco en el cuadro aquí en Los Otros.
Te recomiendo que veas Abre los Ojos (no el remake de Cruise, que es peor). Y, si te gusta, Tesis. Otras películas españolas que te recomendaría, de otros directores, son REC (terror) y Promoción Fantasma (comedia de fantasmas).
Interesante, gracias por compartir
Masterclass in how to make a creepy movie for grownups. It does not have to be gory if there is a solid script and great action. Very sophisticated, not what we think of when we say horror. Actually, the German occupation of the Channel Islands started out OK. The Germans got along with the Islanders, and many children were sent to relatives elsewhere. But then there was a blockade, and nothing got in or out -- starvation and violence followed, on both sides. The living conditions could have caused her to kill the children. Great reaction, by the way :)
If you’re looking for odd or bizarre films that will make you think and question everything you know about films, I’d recommend these:
“Twin Peaks” by David Lynch
“The Cell” starring Jennifer Lopez
“The Fountain” starring Hugh Jackman
“Pan’s Labyrinth” by Guillermo del Toro
It's good to see that this film surprised you. It surprised all of us when we saw it in theaters too!
Inland Empire
In the Mouth of Madness
In my top ten ghost stories👻👻👻👻👻
Was NOT expecting this movie to be as great as it was. Helluva experience.
I am writing this to help out Kamila and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰❤️✌️☺️😘
This movie ranked at #81 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo
From this director, I strongly recommend "Thesis" (1996), his debut....... (Is it hypocrate on my behalf to promote spaniards directors? Bah, who cares? I should also say "El día de la Bestia" by Alex de la Iglesia, but somehow, I know you ain't going to like it)
Great reaction, as always 😊, I chose not to pass on this one 😂. Looking forward to your reaction to Contact. 😜
They have been "low on ammo" since they invaded Ukraine. What standards are being used? Low compared to their Soviet era stockpiles? Compared to the U.S.
I saw this first back in 2002 or something when i was 12 years old. One of the most underrated scary movies imo. Classic movie.
One would think that this movie was filmed in the UK, right? Well no, I was able to visit the house. It is the Hornillos Palace, in Cantabria, which is in the north of Spain
17:04 Yes Mute people that didn't talk were called Dumb. Nothing to do with their intelligence. It was a clinical descriptive.
Along with the terms blind, deaf and dumb. That covers all conditions of the senses. *See* no evil, *Hear* no evil and *Speak* no evil.
An alternative version of this film could have the reveal that the mother snapped after losing her children to their illness including news of her husbands death all made worse by her living conditions
The result being that she imagines them all still alive and the servants are actually mental health professionals playing along until they convince her of what's goung on
So, like Shutter Island, I guess
i feel this is how La Llorona should have been filmed, not the bs they did with the 2019.. over explained with unnecessary lore that had nothing to do with the real story.. this is a great film tho, that twist is always good for new reactors
Hola!!! Gracias por reaccionar una de las mejores pelicula que visto!
If the Sixth Sense (1999) hadn't existed, 🤔
This movie would have been a masterpiece 😊
Si no hubiera existido el Sexto Sentido (1999) 🤔
ésta película hubiera sido una obra maestra 😊
I love the smile that Anne gets on her face after she climbs down the trellis and Nicholas follows, she smiles like she's so proud of him.
Your pretty face was sad during the whole movie. The story is a bit depressing.
You seemed a little bewildered about the
Mother chastising kids about laughter at the religious story. You never had religious instruction in catholic school. They used to beat the religion into you in the old days. And it took me 40 years to get back into religion because the Catholic school bullshit.
That's Mrs. Ned Stark as the living mom near the end. 😅
Just want to say you have THE BEST reaction channel, u even make the average movies (to me) fun and exciting to watch. Can i make a movie suggestion? Man on Fire (2004) w/Denzel Washington....u will not be disappointed. Great job (as always) and great channel !!!!!!!
'Is the house haunted?'😂. In the UK, Dumb is another word for mute, a deaf mute was referred to as deaf and dumb. I saw this video land the weekend but I've only just had chance to watch it. My daughter watched this the day before you posted. It was her first proper scary movie 👍. Now you have seen it, watch it again and see what you think of it then, especiallythe opening scream. Great reaction Kamilla 👍
Yes, like "dumbbells", meaning "silent bells", the weights due to their bell like shape but without making chime sound
Such a great movie, and this is one of the best reactions to it I’ve ever seen. Well done.
This is how people act, when they don't know that they ☠ dead!!
My Sister had me afraid when we saw this movie. Lol How dare she?
Nicole Kidman was incredible .
Didn't see it coming, did you😮
31:40
holy shit! Michelle Fairley?
Great film!
This movie is like Six sence i think!
Great reaction centane to a classic horror movie
So pretty today Centane
Have you read the book The Shining, by Stephen King? If so, what did u think of the movie?
I liked the book alot more than the movie :')
@@Centane Right, lol. The movie was terrible imo. The book horrified me. It had me walking around in my apartment with a hammer for a few days lol. That old woman in the bathroom part😵
*piano noises*
Thanks for your reaction of this different kind of ghost story--well done. I wanted to mention two movies to you. One is "A Ghost Story" from 2017, starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. Also told from the perspective of the ghost, very thought-provoking but also heart breaking. The second is "What About You" from 2007. It's about a young woman who gets stuck looking after a small group of demanding old people in a retirement home over Christmas (including the fabulous Vanessa Redgrave). Seems like something you would like and its heartwarming rather than heart-breaking. I'm sure you get a million requests, so do with these as you will. Cheers
I’ve been trying to turn all you movie reviewers to watch the 1963 movie the haunting. No monsters or ghosts just mood music and lighting. The hairs on the back of your neck will be up the whole time.
No sé si has visto El Sexto Sentido de M. Night Shyamalan (por otra parte uno de los creadores de cine fantástico más interesantes del panorama actual) pero creo que Amenábar hace un pequeño plagio con esta película un par de años después. Para mí, el director de origen hindú enmascara el giro de guion hasta el final, no lo puedes prever pero con Amenábar, recuerdo que a la mitad de la película pensé que era la única explicación posible.
This is such a great movie. I really love it. Usually I don't try to think about what might happen and just enjoy the show. Here I realized early what went on due to a Stargate SG1 episode, but that didn't spoil anything.
Hope You can watch la tesis and abre los ojos, also by Alejandro Amenábar
Un peliculón de Alejandro Amenavar.
No es una película de miedo, hay tensión, suspense, casi sustos, pero la esencia es el punto de vista de los fantasmas. La desesperación de una madre sola sobrepasada por las circunstancias, que a pesar de amar prundamente a sus hijos, esa situación le conduce al más terrible de los actos. Su sentimiento de culpa, y de alivio al pesar que no fue real.
Para mi el punto más fuerte es cuando se da cuenta que están muertos, pero no es por estar muertos, sino la confirmación del mayor de los temores de una madre... ¡que pedazo de actriz que es Nicole! Aún siendo tu reacción, que no veo la película, se me continúan saltado las lágrimas en ese punto.
For something a little lighter there is THE QUIET MAN wirh John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in a classic Love story with humor and some action thrown in set and filmed in Ireland. Still my all tome favorite since sern it in the 80s
I had never even considered a ghost story told from the perspective of the ghost. An okay movie, brilliant premise.
An older movie with a similar title, "The Other" (1972), directed by Robert Mulligan of "To Kill a Mockingbird" fame, also has a similar premise, about a family with a pair of twins who aren't what they seem to be.
Two other gteat thriller/ horror movies are UPGRADE. A movie set a few years fro now so a tchy vibe directed by guy who played Adam in first Saw Movie
OP: I think something may be wrong
Me: no shit, you think?
Not WWII. It takes place near WWI.
Then you are informed wrong. The mother said her family had moved at the beginning of the war in 1940. Second world war started 1939 💓
Beautiful girl, I beg you to eat something 💔
I ate a kebab today but thanks
