Best Horror Movies: ‘Haunting of Hill House’ Star Kate Siegel on How Nicole Kidman’s ‘Intensely Vulnerable’ Performance Makes ‘The Others’ a Horror Classic
The 'Haunting of Hill House' and 'Hush' star writes about 'The Others,' her favorite horror film, and Nicole Kidman's intensely vulnerable lead performance.
This is the bleeding heart at the center of “ The Others ” — a haunting, dread-filled waltz of a movie directed by Alejandro Amenábar and starring Nicole Kidman as Grace, a woman who lives with her two photosensitive children on her darkened old family estate. We’re wrapped up in their family as they begin to believe their house is haunted, and then… I won’t spoil one of my favorite cinematic twists of all time. Rendered in the slowest smoldering burn by Amenábar (who also wrote and scored the movie to great effect), “The Others” moves from sepia-toned minimalism to tightly wound oppression as Grace watches her world (and what she thought was her reality) fall apart around her.
