Knowing the twist ending, the piano room scene makes a lot of sense. Some living person is playing the piano, then a ghost opens the door randomly, so they stop playing and get up to investigate. Then the ghost keeps opening and closing the door, so the living person slams it shut! We’ve all seen that scene from the other side in various horrors, but its crazy to realize whats happening the other way.
The husband was aware that he was dead and that's why he was so startled by seeing his family and being able to communicate and interact with them, because that meant they were dead too, only they were not aware of it. The girl seems to be aware that something happened with the mom that day, she remembers she attacked them, but not dying, she just tells that to the father and he figures out what happened.
Seems like they’re all stick in purgatory like he’s wandering around in the fog after killed in war. I guess the last thing he wanted or unfinished business was to see his family and because they’re dead they saw him, can’t see the real people that’s alive and it’s all foggy outside their gates like they’re there too and him leaving the house wasn’t just leaving purgatory but also moving on to the like next stage like heaven or hell. At like 5:42 they spoke about purgatory and other places & things that happens like where people go depending on how good or bad they were after they die
The husband wasn't necessarily dead. Maybe he just got injured and was unconscious for a while/had a near death experience, and him leaving was waking up from it again.
@@MidnightSt If I remember correctly, Grace found out her husband was MIA, which is the main reason why she went off the deep end. So, essentially, Charles did die. Also, remember the war had ended long before Grace died. So, Charles, being still in the war, couldn't have appeared if he was just merely unconscious.
@@meganlodon no, I actually didn't remember any of what you just mentioned, it's been a long time since I've seen the movie, in my comment I was going based purely on what's seen in the reaction video, and the thoughts i had while watching the video :) thanks for the reminder :)
@@MidnightSt Ah. I haven't seen the movie in full myself either in a few years, but I did see one reaction not too long ago where that scene was shown in the video. That's the only way I knew. Anyway, I did like the theory you mentioned, even if it wasn't completely sound. It would have been interesting if it was implemented somehow.
the fact that she shot herself in the head explains why she was always having migraines. the little details in this movie are brilliant and gives it so much rewatch value.
On rewatching this, there are a couple times that they use the line “stop breathing” to one of the children. And the mother suffocated them. Love the details!
The Others came out 2 years after The Sixth Sense, yet the ending still came as a complete shock to most people who saw it. The Others is a masterclass in brilliant filmmaking from the story, acting, and directing to the camerawork, editing and sparse score.
I love this movie! Spoilers- I think Grace screams in the beginning because she realizes what she did, but she thinks she's waking up from a nightmare. Plus, in the very beginning, during the breakfast, Anne said, "Mummy went mad...she had a pillow." Mad is a British term for insane.
Also Grace has migraines which is a reference to her blowing her head off with the rifle. The children throughout the movie breathe heavily which is a reference to them being suffocated to death.
I remember watching this for the first time in my early teens. I was fascinated with how they flipped the concept and made DAYLIGHT frightening instead of the dark. One of the main scares is all the curtains disappearing, bathing the house in light, and it’s just as scary as the normal horror movie scene of the lights going out.
I loved how this movie didn’t seem to make any sense, like something was missing, until the twist then everything falls in place and looks real and logical all of a sudden. Genius. Great job guys.
They were keeping themselves in limbo on purpose. Limbo is neither heaven nor hell but a waiting place for the dead in between the two. At the end of the movie, they were chanting 'This house is ours' to keep themselves attached to the location.
Yes, I have the sense they will be going through this all over again, having their memories wiped of the revelation they're dead. The servants said they'd done this many times before, and they were trying different techniques of revealing the truth so maybe the mother would get it this time. So, the servants will reappear and try to gently let her know again that they all are, indeed, dead.
I just want to point out - an early hint that the caretakers are dead is that they're wearing clothes from a completely different time period to the main family. Something not many people would notice, unless they've researched historical fashion - but they are NOT wearing 1930s/1940s era clothing. I'd say it's closer to the 1890s.
Wouldn't have been to alarming because most older people where older style clothing. The younger girl is wearing normal clothing for a maid in the 1930s and 40s.
Seeing this in the theater was wild. To this day, it's still one of my favorite horror movies. I feel it often gets overlooked, so I'm really happy you guys covered it!
I think maybe it gets overlooked, because you can only really watch it once. The twist is so memorable, you never forget it. As in this case, it was the only part that Ninetail remembered.
@@VelkanAngels Including this video I have seen it now four times and still enjoyed it and the twist feels still like a shock eventhough I already now it.
OH GREAT i wasn't the only one. even seeing the cut down version in this video made me cry like. when she's remembering what happened and the other woman asks if she'd like a cup of tea and she smiles idk that gets to me
I think Kidman’s purple wardrobe is a reference to the Catholic time of Lent. The 40 days before Easter. The priests wear purple for those days. Interpret the death and resurrection of Jesus as you wish
The scene where she says, "Where's my daughter,?" was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments, and I DID NOT SEE THE TWIST ENDING!! HOLY CRAP! It's just like the Sixth Sense! I watched this film like 15 times on HBO or TCM to follow the clues on what really happened
'The Orphanage' (2007) is a movie that reminds me of 'The Others' a lot. More atmospheric and creepy than scary, but warning: there are some pretty heavy themes and it gets pretty intense towards the end.
They already watched The Orphanage, about 6 months ago. =3 A great movie and so sad. I remember watching it in theater. You should check out their reaction to it. ^^
People took pictures of the dead back in the day because that would be one of the few pictures you would have a person, and often, it would be the best picture you could get. Cameras took several seconds for the picture to take hold, so the subtle movements of a living person, even if they were staying as still as possible, would be a little blurry. A lot of the time they would even put clamps on the back of people heads and, on their limbs, to maintain a rigid posture, and smiling was never done because it was hard to smile consistently that long. A corpse would be perfectly still, and thus the resulting picture quite excellent by those standards.
They’ll do family pictures with their dead family member or of just their kids together where one of them is dead. It’s creepy but seemed to be a way to help cope and deal with their loss. On a lighter note they use to do baby photo shoots (alive) and have the mom holding them but behind a curtain or blanket over them with the baby on their lap
The Others came after the 6th Sense. Both films are great, but I like The Others better because it's more artistic, elegant and refined IMO. It makes great use of light and dark, both as a cinematic horror effect and also as symbolism - the whole house is enveloped by darkness because of the kids "condition", essentially the whole family is "in the dark" about the state of their being. Nicole is shrouded in darkness because of her faith, refusing to believe in things outside of what she was taught. I also like how it is entirely from the ghosts' perspective, and seems much more realistic how the dead and living are only able to connect sparsely and with difficulty. It's like two worlds living in different frequencies that can only connect when the frequency matches just right for a short period of time. It's a different approach than the 6th Sense, the 6th Sense meshes together the interaction between the dead and the living much more. Different takes on the concept. This is my favorite Nicole performance, she was increasingly on-edge, tense and hysterical as the film went on, makes the viewer not able to relax either. Also, her character has "migraines" because she blew her head open with a gun. I always see you guys get a lot of comments for Skeleton Key, it really is a unique horror story different than what you guys have watched so far. Pretty overlooked film. Voodoo is pretty fascinating.
I think the twist was better utilized in the film. In 6th Sense, it almost feels like a twist for a twist's sake, whereas here the twist explains the entire movie.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Good point, I totally agree. There is a lot more at stake for the twist in The Others. The reveal at the end solves the whole movie.
"An inbetween"--I think with all the talk of purgatory in the movie, we're meant to see their haunting as a kind of purgatory. It's not heaven, not hell, just day after day after day trapped in the same basic moments, with nothing ever changing. But then, with the servants also being there, and even the husband saying he has to "go back to front", there's almost a sort of bleak implication that that's how EVERYBODY ends up when they die--that in the world of this film, there IS no heaven or hell, just purgatory.
"Sinister" is quite a cool horror. It's not that it's scary in a common horror sense, it's just extremely unsettling. "Paranormal activity" is in this list too.
Oh and Paranormal activity is great too..I really loved the first 1 and I also love 'The Marked Ones' (it got mixed reviews, but I liked it because it stepped away from the traditional Paranormal Activity format, so to speak).. In that genre, I also really enjoyed Paranormal Entity.. Considered as a cheap knock off of the Paranormal Activity movies, but I still found it highly entertaining
I think when people die in great angst they cannot move on. And so they were stuck, but now that they know, they can start to ‘live’ and find joy and fulfilment. I think once they come to peace with their state they’d be able to move on, the mist would become light etc. i loved this movie :)
I saw this movie on VHS when I was a kid and I always thought it was a cool concept that they thought they were being haunted by ghost but in the end they were the ones haunting the house and just didn’t know it. My fav movie
I think it is really interesting when Anne tells Nicolas to stop breathing and when the mother tells Anne to stop breathing like that, just knowing what we all do
When this came out a lot of people had to take a moment to process….what if we were all dead & what we see as the paranormal is actually a glimpse into the world of the living. 👀 This movie was a head trip.
Love this film. One of my favorite horror films and performance of Nicole Kidman. The writing, acting, cinematography, and cold atmosphere are all so well done.
One of my favorite movies, period. I always wondered if some of those pictures in the Book of the Dead were authentic, or if they were all staged for the film. That's the part that creeped me out the most.
Modern horror movie masterpiece! Gore and blood is not horror, as my dear father used to say, mood and atmosphere really can make it. Never tired to rewatch this gem. Bravo!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This movie will always be one of my most favourite. I swear, when I first saw that plot twist it was shocking Great reaction, guys, can't wait for other movies.🔥💯
06:33 i think she said that cause she knows her childrens lives have been Hell till now (cause of the illness), so she wants her children to dream of Heaven afterwards, so they can think of a better afterlife
The main character being so controlling towards the children is easily one of the creepiest things about the story. Love that jumpscare scene with the piano room.
If you haven't reacted to it already , The Woman in Black is a really good one. Main actor is Daniel Radcliffe and kind of reminds me of The Others a little bit but doesn't really have that twist but it's so creepy and amazing. I think you guys would love it.
I think the simplicity of the script, excellent cinematography/actors plus the music/sound effects makes this one of the greats. No blood/gore needed; just raw human fear. Your reactions & attempts to analyze what’s going on proves that, lol. Great reaction vid! ✌🏼😁👍🏼
I feel like the dad is stuck in his own kind of limbo, like he has to keep repeating going to the war, his lines “the war is not over” and “sometimes I bleed” also when the kids ask about what happens to the people who die in the war like where do they go
One of my favorite aspects of this film (aside from the twist at the end) is the way it plays cat-and-mouse with the audience, constantly making us doubt WHO we should trust, and who we should root for. Interestingly, it's a story that doesn't actually have a "villain" in the usual sense - the villain in this story is the unknown, and the fear that the unknown creates.
this was one of the only endings that actually shocked me i genuinely don't know how I didn't see it coming? but hindsight is 20/20 right so when i already know it it's hard to miss the signs also am i just sensitive or was the ending kinda sad? like i cried when she was retelling to herself what happened. that was weirdly emotional to me.
The Others is one of the greatest ghost stories ever put on film. This is also a very welcome throwback to cinematic storytelling the way it used to be. Check out The Haunting (1963) from the Shirley Jackson novel The Haunting of Hill House. Very atmospheric. Also The Legend of Hell House (1973) from the Richard Matheson novel. He also wrote I Am Legend which has been made into movies three times - The Last Man on Earth (1964), The Omega man (1971) and I Am Legend (2007).
people used to wear colours depending on the occasion so to speak. Black for grief and after a certain amount of time purple as half-grief. Very simplified
If you guys like films that are more creepy and atmospheric, I highly recommend Identity (2003). It's about a group of people who are stranded at a motel during a terrible storm. All of a sudden people start dying one by one. I won't say more than that, but it's hypnotizing. And also a great twist ending.
Movie suggestion: “Cube” (1997) Horror? Sci-fi? Mostly it’s a mindf**k. It was an independent experimental film made with only 350k and a tiny genius crafted set. It gained a reputation and quickly became a cult classic in no time causing 2 sequels with inflated budgets and a remake that came out in Japan just this year. I’m a movie freak with a few decades on you guys, but I’ve watched a BUNCH of your reactions and really, truly think this movie is PERFECT for you. The movie itself will wow you - but then you start thinking as budding movie creators about the production it’s even more fun.
23:11 James "what do you mean you know what has to be done"😂😂😂 lolol that was just funny me because James was still in confusion at that point still trying to figure the movie out
MY VOTE- THE GIFT. Cate Blanchet, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes, Hilary Swank. It’s a superb film from the early 00’s and I think you’d like it. The Others is one of my all time favorite horror movies. Brilliant, darkly atmospheric, deftly written, unique and superb in premise, Nicole is pitch perfect, superbly crafted in tension and the art of less is more, with a haunting score and that ending; man I saw this in theater when it first came out, and you could literally hear people gasp when that ending hit, me included. Even all these many years later, it still makes me ponder the mysteries of death, the life before it…and after it. I mean, can the living actually haunt the dead? 🤔
I saw this in the theater when it came out and when that old lady opened up the wardrobe, the WHOLE audience screamed. Also, serious horror movie suggestion: As Above/So Below.
I watched this movie the first time when I was a teenager and it made me fall in love with the twist ending movies ever since! Re-watch it help make sense to EVERYTHING. Love it!
Thi is one of my favorite suspense thriller movie. I also recommend The Skeleton Key with Kate Hudson. It’s another suspense thriller with a mystery. It’s very entertaining.
One of my favorites that never gets mentioned or watched. Artfully done for a "horror" movie and Nicole Kidman in her prime....yes sir!! In regards to the "death pictures", it was usually the only photo you had of your loved one back in the day. I remember reading up about it, crazy stuff
this movie was for a whole decade the movie that made more money in cinemas in Spain...and you gotta think it came out in 2001, that's how big, important and loved it was and is here. and no wonder, it is amazing about the book of the dead. oh yeah. it was a thing here, and yes, sometimes the only picture a family would have of that person. A famous actor here in Spain watched this movie and years later in college as an adult, did his thesis about those. he spent years looking for pictures, stories..and now published it as a book
Random comments: I happened to read about the Channel Islands, where this tale takes place.The Islands were occupied by the Germans during WW2. At some point, the supply ships stopped coming, and many people starved to death. Conditions were horrible. That probably caused the killing of the children. Those were real photos of dead bodies. The 'momento mori' was a way of keeping the memory of relatives alive, and was probably the only photos ever taken of them. There IS a disease where people cannot stand bright lights. One theory of ghosts is that they have to relive the horrible events of their lives, over and over. Perhaps that is why she awakens with a scream, with the shadow of the memory of endless horror, about to be experienced again. Great reaction to a practically bloodless, yet totally gripping movie! One point removed for plot holes....9/10.
If you liked this, you need to watch The Changeling (1980) with George C. Scott. Most people have never heard of it, but it is one of the all time best gothic horror films you will ever see. A classic.
I have watched this movie in the theaters back in the day. Best movie experience ever! Since then, I love the horror thriller genre even the movies from today are not comparable. Was great to watch you guys react to that. I was something in your age then. Keep it up!
The Sixth Sense came first but the twist in The Others was done before in the 1974 British film Voices (which is due out on Blu-ray in the UK next year).
This movie was directed by Alejandro Amenábar. I'll never get tired of recommending his debut movie "Thesis" from 1996, a crime horror thriller about a snuff movie and also a gem.
Btw: soooo happy you finally reacted to this movie! I remember recommending it some time ago, but it's definitely a must-see horror movie. Not conventional, very original. And obviously, Nicole Kidman is incredible in this!
I love Jeepers Creepers, in spite of the problems surrounding the franchise. But if the girls haven’t seen this or know the twist they should totally do a reaction!
I went to see this with my cuz ,when it was released. We love these types of movies but the twist stunned both of us . Great choice Fellas. Not sure if Y'all seen any of the following but I highly recommend watching: - Train to Busan (2016) - Overlord (2018) - A Quiet Place 1 & 2
the others has always been a favorite. i think it’s really lovely and heartbreaking. i watched your video on greyscale today since i had a headache and it really gave the movie another layer of that classic gothic horror, i loved it 😄
I just watched your Sixth Sense reaction few days ago and wondered if you've seen this movie and now here it is! Perfect timing haha! My movie recommendation would be A Tale of Two Sisters. It's a Korean horror movie, and it's a masterclass in suspension! It traumatized me when I was a teenager and I'm still afraid to revisit it lol
I remember watching the American version of that movie a lot of years ago and I’ve been wanting to watch the original for a long time but I’m afraid it’s gonna leave me scarred for life like the original version of the grudge did
I saw this movie in a theater during it's post-run period (when the cheap theaters get it). It's brilliantly executed and I only barely figured it out before the reveal.
My favorite Christmas movie is The Family Stone. Great movie, amazing cast and so heart warming. Highly recommend. Would be a great movie to react to! 💓
I never noticed the purple thing before. Now, i can't be sure so correct me if wrong, but wasn't purple a mid mourning colour widows or close family wore after a person died? like, black was first then muted colours and then you could go back to full colour after that but there was a good few years in between according to social pressures.
Great reaction, as always! If you didn't seen it yet, I would recommend you to watch "Bram Stoker's Dracula from Francis Ford Coppola". Great actors, such an unique and gorgeous aesthetic (especially the costumes designs), good story, practical effects and really eerie and creepy. You're gonna love it!
im so glad you did this fiml. its one that has stuck with me for decades. Im still scared to look at glass doors at night lol. Also, spot on about the momento mori photography- photos were so expensive that many people would wait till a death of a loved one to sit for photos.
I loved watching you not get it until the end - it’s a brilliant twist. Her hubby Tom directed this. Trouble is nowadays with social media/most Reaction videos on everything, people over-analyse ever line & every scene - but pre social media, you went to the cinema & maybe saw a trailer a couple of months ago, but just the one, there were no spoilers anywhere - you just sat back & watched it & let it just unfold. Good times!! I am glad you are re-visiting so many classics.
You should watch the 1963 version of "The Haunting". It's considered one of the best classic haunted house movies, plus it's an inspiration/precursor of "The Haunting of Hill House".
Knowing the twist ending, the piano room scene makes a lot of sense. Some living person is playing the piano, then a ghost opens the door randomly, so they stop playing and get up to investigate.

@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Good point, I totally agree. There is a lot more at stake for the twist in The Others. The reveal at the end solves the whole movie.
The script of The Others was written years before the sixth sense came out, though 👍🏻
One of the best twists ever. I am so glad you enjoyed this movie. Nicole Kidman was amazing.
Didn't she win an Oscar for this?
"An inbetween"--I think with all the talk of purgatory in the movie, we're meant to see their haunting as a kind of purgatory. It's not heaven, not hell, just day after day after day trapped in the same basic moments, with nothing ever changing. But then, with the servants also being there, and even the husband saying he has to "go back to front", there's almost a sort of bleak implication that that's how EVERYBODY ends up when they die--that in the world of this film, there IS no heaven or hell, just purgatory.
"Sinister" is quite a cool horror. It's not that it's scary in a common horror sense, it's just extremely unsettling. "Paranormal activity" is in this list too.
yep, would recommend sinister as well ;)
Oh and Paranormal activity is great too..I really loved the first 1 and I also love 'The Marked Ones' (it got mixed reviews, but I liked it because it stepped away from the traditional Paranormal Activity format, so to speak).. In that genre, I also really enjoyed Paranormal Entity.. Considered as a cheap knock off of the Paranormal Activity movies, but I still found it highly entertaining
I think when people die in great angst they cannot move on. And so they were stuck, but now that they know, they can start to ‘live’ and find joy and fulfilment. I think once they come to peace with their state they’d be able to move on, the mist would become light etc.
i loved this movie :)
I saw this movie on VHS when I was a kid and I always thought it was a cool concept that they thought they were being haunted by ghost but in the end they were the ones haunting the house and just didn’t know it. My fav movie
I think it is really interesting when Anne tells Nicolas to stop breathing and when the mother tells Anne to stop breathing like that, just knowing what we all do
One of my favorite psychological thrillers of all time, such a bad ass twist. This film is such an underrated masterpiece!
When this came out a lot of people had to take a moment to process….what if we were all dead & what we see as the paranormal is actually a glimpse into the world of the living. 👀 This movie was a head trip.
Lol, your comment just made me look around, wondering if I’m the ghost 😂😂😂
@@chaichanamaow9646 lmao
Well as a teenager even long before I saw the movie I kept wondering whether i am dreaming my life or someone else is dreaming my life.
Love this film. One of my favorite horror films and performance of Nicole Kidman. The writing, acting, cinematography, and cold atmosphere are all so well done.
I'd recommend "Hide And Seek" with Dakota Fanning and Robert De Niro. It's a good horror movie!
That’s a good one! Forgot all about this movie.
YEEESS!!!
I love that fucking movie so much!!
Oh God finally!! The Others is like my fave horror movie of all time!
One of my favorite movies, period. I always wondered if some of those pictures in the Book of the Dead were authentic, or if they were all staged for the film. That's the part that creeped me out the most.
@Kelli Franklin I looked it up again right after I wrote this and apparently it's a mixture of real and staged.
Modern horror movie masterpiece! Gore and blood is not horror, as my dear father used to say, mood and atmosphere really can make it. Never tired to rewatch this gem. Bravo!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This movie will always be one of my most favourite. I swear, when I first saw that plot twist it was shocking
Great reaction, guys, can't wait for other movies.🔥💯
06:33 i think she said that cause she knows her childrens lives have been Hell till now (cause of the illness), so she wants her children to dream of Heaven afterwards, so they can think of a better afterlife
And for herself
The main character being so controlling towards the children is easily one of the creepiest things about the story. Love that jumpscare scene with the piano room.
If you haven't reacted to it already , The Woman in Black is a really good one. Main actor is Daniel Radcliffe and kind of reminds me of The Others a little bit but doesn't really have that twist but it's so creepy and amazing. I think you guys would love it.
I think the simplicity of the script, excellent cinematography/actors plus the music/sound effects makes this one of the greats. No blood/gore needed; just raw human fear. Your reactions & attempts to analyze what’s going on proves that, lol. Great reaction vid! ✌🏼😁👍🏼
I feel like the dad is stuck in his own kind of limbo, like he has to keep repeating going to the war, his lines “the war is not over” and “sometimes I bleed” also when the kids ask about what happens to the people who die in the war like where do they go
One of my favorite aspects of this film (aside from the twist at the end) is the way it plays cat-and-mouse with the audience, constantly making us doubt WHO we should trust, and who we should root for. Interestingly, it's a story that doesn't actually have a "villain" in the usual sense - the villain in this story is the unknown, and the fear that the unknown creates.
this was one of the only endings that actually shocked me i genuinely don't know how I didn't see it coming? but hindsight is 20/20 right so when i already know it it's hard to miss the signs
also am i just sensitive or was the ending kinda sad? like i cried when she was retelling to herself what happened. that was weirdly emotional to me.
Another great Spanish movie by Almenadar whose film making career in Spain have granted him international recognition.
The Others is one of the greatest ghost stories ever put on film. This is also a very welcome throwback to cinematic storytelling the way it used to be. Check out The Haunting (1963) from the Shirley Jackson novel The Haunting of Hill House. Very atmospheric. Also The Legend of Hell House (1973) from the Richard Matheson novel. He also wrote I Am Legend which has been made into movies three times - The Last Man on Earth (1964), The Omega man (1971) and I Am Legend (2007).
This movie just amazing ! All the casting just well done!!
people used to wear colours depending on the occasion so to speak. Black for grief and after a certain amount of time purple as half-grief. Very simplified
If you guys like films that are more creepy and atmospheric, I highly recommend Identity (2003). It's about a group of people who are stranded at a motel during a terrible storm. All of a sudden people start dying one by one. I won't say more than that, but it's hypnotizing. And also a great twist ending.
I remember this one. It's very interesting.
Such a good movie! And incredible cast!!
Love that movie
I second this
Man, rain always reminds me of this movie.
YES I'm so excited for this! This movie still scares me to this day.
Movie suggestion:
“Cube” (1997)
Horror? Sci-fi?
Mostly it’s a mindf**k.
It was an independent experimental film made with only 350k and a tiny genius crafted set.
It gained a reputation and quickly became a cult classic in no time causing 2 sequels with inflated budgets and a remake that came out in Japan just this year.
I’m a movie freak with a few decades on you guys, but I’ve watched a BUNCH of your reactions and really, truly think this movie is PERFECT for you.
The movie itself will wow you - but then you start thinking as budding movie creators about the production it’s even more fun.
Seconded. Cube is AWESOME.
Cubes so cool
Cube is awesome
I remember watching it as a kid, barely remember anything but I remember it was trippy.
23:11 James "what do you mean you know what has to be done"😂😂😂 lolol that was just funny me because James was still in confusion at that point still trying to figure the movie out
MY VOTE- THE GIFT. Cate Blanchet, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes, Hilary Swank. It’s a superb film from the early 00’s and I think you’d like it.
The Others is one of my all time favorite horror movies. Brilliant, darkly atmospheric, deftly written, unique and superb in premise, Nicole is pitch perfect, superbly crafted in tension and the art of less is more, with a haunting score and that ending; man I saw this in theater when it first came out, and you could literally hear people gasp when that ending hit, me included. Even all these many years later, it still makes me ponder the mysteries of death, the life before it…and after it. I mean, can the living actually haunt the dead? 🤔
It's funny that you mentioned The Haunting of Bly Manor, because this movie & the series took inspiration in Henry James, The Turning of the Screw.
18:50 killed me! 😂 this movie is so damn good it still scares me and I’ve watched it so many times
This is actually inspired by a book called Turn of the Screw which came out in the 1800s.
Nicole Kidman is on the top of her game here. One of her best performances.
I love this movie. Nicole Kidman is amazing in this movie.
I saw this in the theater when it came out and when that old lady opened up the wardrobe, the WHOLE audience screamed.
Also, serious horror movie suggestion: As Above/So Below.
I watched this movie the first time when I was a teenager and it made me fall in love with the twist ending movies ever since! Re-watch it help make sense to EVERYTHING. Love it!
Stunning movie....nicole kidman is amazing
no deaths, no blood, no gore, just good directing and good music and good performances, thank you Alejandro Amenábar.
I love the twist of this movie. And the way many scenes are filmed are sooooo effective!
Thi is one of my favorite suspense thriller movie.
I also recommend The Skeleton Key with Kate Hudson. It’s another suspense thriller with a mystery. It’s very entertaining.
One of my favorites that never gets mentioned or watched. Artfully done for a "horror" movie and Nicole Kidman in her prime....yes sir!!
In regards to the "death pictures", it was usually the only photo you had of your loved one back in the day. I remember reading up about it, crazy stuff
this movie was for a whole decade the movie that made more money in cinemas in Spain...and you gotta think it came out in 2001, that's how big, important and loved it was and is here. and no wonder, it is amazing
about the book of the dead. oh yeah. it was a thing here, and yes, sometimes the only picture a family would have of that person. A famous actor here in Spain watched this movie and years later in college as an adult, did his thesis about those. he spent years looking for pictures, stories..and now published it as a book
Random comments:
I happened to read about the Channel Islands, where this tale takes place.The Islands were occupied by the Germans during WW2. At some point, the supply ships stopped coming, and many people starved to death. Conditions were horrible. That probably caused the killing of the children.
Those were real photos of dead bodies. The 'momento mori' was a way of keeping the memory of relatives alive, and was probably the only photos ever taken of them.
There IS a disease where people cannot stand bright lights.
One theory of ghosts is that they have to relive the horrible events of their lives, over and over. Perhaps that is why she awakens with a scream, with the shadow of the memory of endless horror, about to be experienced again. Great reaction to a practically bloodless, yet totally gripping movie!
One point removed for plot holes....9/10.
35:00 great analysis
If you liked this, you need to watch The Changeling (1980) with George C. Scott. Most people have never heard of it, but it is one of the all time best gothic horror films you will ever see. A classic.
The direct used Mr Tutles name and the Séance scene as homage to the Changeling.
I have watched this movie in the theaters back in the day. Best movie experience ever! Since then, I love the horror thriller genre even the movies from today are not comparable.
Was great to watch you guys react to that. I was something in your age then. Keep it up!
One of the most horrifying movie I remember right now is Mama 2013. I also suggest Little Monsters 2019, it's a fun one.
This is a masterpiece. The director put us all the time in the place of the ghosts, who don't understand anything. So we are the ghosts. Brilliant.
loved that you loved this. I watched this movie legittt when i was maybe Nicholas' age, and i livedddddddd. Nicole Kidman became an obsession LOOOL
After this movie came out I often wondered if I was dead 😆
The family is the new ghost, which is why we are experiencing with them in the afterlife.
This movie is brilliantly acted and shot. Nicole Kidman is on of my favorite actresses.
The Sixth Sense came first but the twist in The Others was done before in the 1974 British film Voices (which is due out on Blu-ray in the UK next year).
And even the script of The Others was written years before the sixth sense came out.
This movie was directed by Alejandro Amenábar. I'll never get tired of recommending his debut movie "Thesis" from 1996, a crime horror thriller about a snuff movie and also a gem.
Btw: soooo happy you finally reacted to this movie! I remember recommending it some time ago, but it's definitely a must-see horror movie. Not conventional, very original. And obviously, Nicole Kidman is incredible in this!
I love Jeepers Creepers, in spite of the problems surrounding the franchise. But if the girls haven’t seen this or know the twist they should totally do a reaction!
old but gold
I went to see this with my cuz ,when it was released. We love these types of movies but the twist stunned both of us . Great choice Fellas.
Not sure if Y'all seen any of the following but I highly recommend watching:
- Train to Busan (2016)
- Overlord (2018)
- A Quiet Place 1 & 2
"1408" is an awesome horror movie, one of the best even, I think you might enjoy it
Not a horror movie but a psychological korean film i think you should watch: The Handmaiden, its a masterpiece ♥
YAY! You guys did one of my suggestions (i'm sure other people asked for it to.) Love James reaction to the twist scene.
this movie haunts me to this day, i saw it once when i was like 11 and i’m still not over it
the others has always been a favorite. i think it’s really lovely and heartbreaking.
i watched your video on greyscale today since i had a headache and it really gave the movie another layer of that classic gothic horror, i loved it 😄
I just watched your Sixth Sense reaction few days ago and wondered if you've seen this movie and now here it is! Perfect timing haha! My movie recommendation would be A Tale of Two Sisters. It's a Korean horror movie, and it's a masterclass in suspension! It traumatized me when I was a teenager and I'm still afraid to revisit it lol
I will have to keep it in mind!!!
That film petrified me!!
@@whitenoisereacts Hello guys please react to The Strangers
I remember watching the American version of that movie a lot of years ago and I’ve been wanting to watch the original for a long time but I’m afraid it’s gonna leave me scarred for life like the original version of the grudge did
You ask so many rhetorical questions, you know all you have to do is watch and the questions get answered right?😂
Annika’s face right after the psychic says “Is that how she killed you?” gets me every time. The immediate shock.
One of favorite ghost movies, has been since i can remember.
Hi guys! this movie is just great. Thanks for reacting to it. Maybe you could put it on your list "The skeleton key?" I love the channel. Cheers! 🖐
I love A Stir of Echoes.
YESSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT!!! Can't believe I'm here 5 days late but anyways let's get startedddddd
More Mike Flanagan for horror(?):geralds game/midnight mass are great(-it was the book the girl in hush was writing)
I saw this movie in a theater during it's post-run period (when the cheap theaters get it). It's brilliantly executed and I only barely figured it out before the reveal.
This movie! God I screamed OMG so many times!!! It's really one of the best horror movies!!
My favorite Christmas movie is The Family Stone. Great movie, amazing cast and so heart warming. Highly recommend. Would be a great movie to react to! 💓
I never noticed the purple thing before. Now, i can't be sure so correct me if wrong, but wasn't purple a mid mourning colour widows or close family wore after a person died? like, black was first then muted colours and then you could go back to full colour after that but there was a good few years in between according to social pressures.
Great reaction, as always! If you didn't seen it yet, I would recommend you to watch "Bram Stoker's Dracula from Francis Ford Coppola". Great actors, such an unique and gorgeous aesthetic (especially the costumes designs), good story, practical effects and really eerie and creepy. You're gonna love it!
+1 to this. It also heavily references and pays homage to classic horror filmmaking techniques.
That movie infuriates me. Still, there's so much to love about it!
Specially the cast and music are incredible!
@@wandanemer2630 Why does it infuriates you? :o
Underrated film that has that gothic old fashioned horror style
im so glad you did this fiml. its one that has stuck with me for decades. Im still scared to look at glass doors at night lol. Also, spot on about the momento mori photography- photos were so expensive that many people would wait till a death of a loved one to sit for photos.
I loved watching you not get it until the end - it’s a brilliant twist. Her hubby Tom directed this. Trouble is nowadays with social media/most Reaction videos on everything, people over-analyse ever line & every scene - but pre social media, you went to the cinema & maybe saw a trailer a couple of months ago, but just the one, there were no spoilers anywhere - you just sat back & watched it & let it just unfold. Good times!!
I am glad you are re-visiting so many classics.
This is y favorite ghost movie, above even the sixth sense.
You should watch the 1963 version of "The Haunting". It's considered one of the best classic haunted house movies, plus it's an inspiration/precursor of "The Haunting of Hill House".
"It's reminding me of Bly Manor"
Funny, cause they're both based on the same book. 😂
