Movie Review: ****The Others

This is a ghost story with a creepy house.  Some memories are too terrible to remember, and such is the case with this movie.  With her husband at war, Grace (Nicole Kidman) is home to care for her two children.  The have an illness making them sensitive to light.  She always keeps the windows covered.  However the curtains are left open, and doors are left open.  Is it the servants, or is it ghosts?  Her daughter says she is seeing people, and draws a picture of them.  Grace finally leaves because of the ghosts or intruders.  She runs into the night fog, and comes back with her husband, home form the war.  This movie makes very good use of fog and ambiance, and a creepy house.  It too have a twist at the end.  Good fun, but perhaps too creepy for little ones.
