The Others sometimes gets unfairly tabbed as a Sixth Sense rip-off, since it came out a few years after that 1999 hit and features a similar twist. But this moody tale—which was also a box-office smash—is definitely notable on its own, drawing on melodrama as well as horror. Set just after World War II in a lonely manor on a misty English island, it follows a tightly-wound woman (Nicole Kidman) nervously protecting her two children from their sunlight allergy, while dealing with peculiar behavior from her household staff and increasingly worrisome bumps in the night.
