The Others

I'm going to do my best to write this review without spoiling anything. I really dug this movie. Everything about it was right on the money. The acting, mood, story and characters were all great. There were half a dozen times I shivered. The ending was great too. I predicted it early on, but it wasn't predictable by any means. I loved the fog that constantly surrounded the house. It gave you an enclosed feeling. I had my doubts going into this movie. I thought it was another of those Hollywood movies that was cranked out in 2 months without any real time spent on the story, just trying to get the Allmighty Dollar. I'm glad to say I was wrong. I deem this gem a 5 out of 5.
