yeah, i saw it last week.... it was really goood, apparently based on an old novel, but still it was directed well and it was really creepy and uncertain..... made me feel a bit weak, then i went a watched Ring afterwards just to put me further in the mood.
A definate thumbs up for 'the others'

I saw it a couple of months ago because it was 50 cent day at the dollar movies (usually when I go to the movies) and it was good but not as scary as I thought it would be. The only scary part was when the door slammed shut, that scared me so bad I almost pissed myself. I wasnt expecting it. I didnt figure out the ending until a couple hours later after Id thought about it. This house is ours...........This house is ours......................

I didn't like the Others. I thought they were ripping off the 6th sense way too much, but it wasn't as well writen.

I think it would have been alot better if they had more scary piss-yourself parts in that movie.

I think it would have been a lot better if they had written an original plot.

How many books have that kind of plot?
How many recent movies?
They were running off of the steam from the sixth sence. It was released a little over two years after the sixth sence, when that movie was still in peoples hedz, but not so soon that everybody thinks that it was a rip off.

Open your Eyes is much better I thought. Anyway you should see it too, and don't even bother with Vanilla Sky, its hollywood crap.

6th sense isn't that good a movie -- it gets pretty dull and is only liked because of the twist-ending; personally i prefer Unbreakable...l'autres is better than the 6th sense, and just because they both feature dead people, doesn't mean one has copied the other...titanic didn't copy lifeboat just because both featured boats. the others, also, wouldn't benefit from being an R/18 rated film -- havent you seen the classic robert wise film "the haunting" from 1963? the others is an old-fashioned chiller.
