The part that always gets me that I didn't realize until like my 10th time watching, is that the mother always complains of migraines. She complains of migraines because she had shot herself in the forehead. And the children struggle to breathe under stress because she had suffocated them with the pillows. Still blows my mind.
Really don't think that's it, her migraines where part of what drove her to go mad and the stress of the situation she was in before going mad was what drove the migraines.
@mash83 i think she had migraines before but I thinknthey were exacerbated and she complains that theyre REALLY bad because Anne also has breathing fits where she breathes loudly and struggles for air because that's how she dies. So grace has had terrible migraines because that's how SHE died. Anyway, it's my theory
Yah just rewatched it for the second time after years and that scene at the end is embedded into my mind cause it was such a shock. I was still glued the second time regaurdless
I don’t think the husband actually knew he was dead, I think because he was a soldier he is stuck in his own kind of limbo. “Sometimes I bleed” replaying his own death. “The war is not over” he believes he has to go back to fight in the war, that’s just how I always saw it
I’m not sure. I believe Ann told him what happened with the pillows at some point and he couldn’t be with Grace anymore after what she did to herself and to his children, but realized that Grace didn’t remember what she’d done and he couldn’t break her heart with the truth, so he left.
I always thought that the dad was a little ahead of the main 3, so he is beginning to grasp the situation while NK and the kids still believe they are amongst the living. The line “ I just came back to say goodbye to my wife and kids”, to me at least, speaks about his purpose for returning when he did. Just my opinion, but god damn this is how you write a thriller/suspense movie…classic for sure.
my fav thing about this movie is how scary it is while showing SO LITTLE. like 99% of the scares are something happening just out of sight, a noise that MIGHT be a ghost, or fake-outs like that god damn painting lol. can't think of any better haunted house movie that really encapsulates the paranoia of thinking MAYBE your house is haunted. that's probably scarier than actually seeing a ghost tbh
what your mind comes up with is, and always will be WAY scarier than anything a movie can show us......except for "the thing". that movie is the only exception. less is more when it comes to showing you the horror. The original Alien movie, it was so damn scary because they only showed certain parts of the monster and it was almost always cloaked in darkness.
That's why Nicole Kidman's character screamed at the start. I think she relived what happened with her kids and then got 'reset'. How many times over the decades has she been doing that?
The real reason people had photographs of dead loved ones taken in that time period was because photography was expensive and many people never had their picture taken during their lives, so having one taken after death was the only way to have a picture to remember someone by. It was not about their souls.
It also helps that early photography required the person to not move for 15 minutes or more and if they did, it ruined the photography process. The dead don't move much.
@@davidpalmer7175 Has the man already seen most of these movies? Or has he not seen some of them? They never really say. Either way, I enjoy the reactions.
And it humanizes them. Like, all the scary noises and Doors creaking open are just them going through super mundane days. There was nothing the living should have been scared off.
Proud of ya, dude. You didn't give it away. She was probing you, tossing out all kinds of theories. "She's killed all the servants! Don't look in the basement!" Checking your reactions to see if she was getting warmer or colder. But the only way to respond without giving anything away was the poker face. At this point, it should be clear that any attempts to actively lead her down the wrong path ("Are ya sure it was Roy? Could've been somebody else.") will only confirm that she's on the right path.
she's usually able to guess what's going to happen pretty well it seems. movies like this where there's a blatant huge twist.. it sucks to know it before you watch it. and yeah he's got a good poker face. it's satisfying though when the twist pays off.
Whenever I watch a movie (that I've already seen) with someone, and that person tries to ask me anything about it, I just insist they watch the movie instead of talking to me. There **IS** a reason for watching the movie. (And it is not so that you can be told all the answers before they appear on the screen)
He's always really good at being vague, but giving leading questions to plot, or anything else really, without giving it away. Their interactions are always perfect.
I have always loved how the twist at the end humbles and sobers Grace from a religious perspective. She's faced with the reality of her own ghostly immortality and has to admit that she doesn't know how any of this works anymore.
People forget about this movie... this twist at the end made me go crazy... and I saw this when it first came out... to see the haunting from the ghost perspective wasnt a thing until this movie.. very original... p.s... I love that when she ask questions you just look at her... lol...
The children were superb in this film! They really held the story together.... what a good solid psychological thriller this is! Loved both you reactions here. Thanks for sharing
The twist ending was on every movie list: Top 10 Shocking Twist Endings Top 10 Memorable Twist Endings Top 10 Best Horror Movie Endings Top 10 Unforgettable Movie Moments.
So well written. Side fact. Nicole Kidman's then husband Tom Cruise was a producer on the film. Their divorce was announced just before the film was officially released. Though they were both contractually obligated to the filming and production before they divorced. I think that's why this is one of Kidman's best performances. She must has been channelling so much emotional energy.
There is a video, somewhere on TH-cam, with an analysis of The Others in which they do go through that idea, that Kidman was also channeling the feeling of being always spied upon, always alone even when not, suffering an existential crisis while her husband just... drifts in and out and having nobody to count on.
Jersey was the only part of the British Isles that was successfully invaded and occupied by the Germans in WWII. This on top of the constant darkness and the isolation drove her insane. This film is actually really sad. Great reaction.
I did not see the twist coming the first time I saw this movie. I've always been impressed by it from a film making perspective. To keep the audience intrigued with such a small cast, and no change of setting, shows how well written the story is. Nothing about the film scared me, however. I always thought of it as more of a mystery movie than a straight-up horror movie. I mean, the horror elements are all there but in a kind of subdued, storytelling kind of way. No real jump scares or grotesque images. A good horror pic for people who don't want anything too scary.
Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands. All the islands are part of the UK, even though they're closer to France. During World War 2, the islands were the only part of the UK to be occupied by the Germans. The occupation lasted between 1940-45. My mum came from the second largest, Guernsey, but moved to England in the 1950's. Great reaction 👍👏🍻. All the best from the UK.
I’ve loved this film for nearly 20 years. Saw it in the theater where, when the end is revealed, a man in the theater actually said right out loud “holy 💩!” And a lot of us verbally agreed 😂 only time I’ve ever been in a theater with strangers and we were all completely locked in, and collectively thought the same thing and everyone knew it. It’s my humble opinion as a horror connoisseur, that this is one of the best horror films of all time. The atmosphere, the premise, the gorgeous yet dreary period setting, that ultra original, utterly genius, very existential script filled w/ terror, tragedy and one hell of an incredible perspective, all brilliantly directing by Amenabar; and that location, perfect for the tone of the film. With enough suspense to literally make one’s skin crawl, and one’s heart pound in one’s ear. Just expertly done from start to finish. The kind of exceptional horror film that comes along about once every decade. As great as it is, it’s almost criminally overlooked and drastically underrated. Despite a staggeringly exceptional performance by Kidman, rivaling that of Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby. Carrying practically the whole film, she expertly shares the fear, sadness, desperation, loneliness, rigid staunchness of beliefs, love of her children despite the horrifying things she did before they came to the other side, trepidation and sheer terror, with us whole heartedly. Kidman turned in an Oscar worthy performance here, and no matter how many times I’ve seen it, it’s always an incredible performance and film. Thank you for reacting to it.
In the hands of a poor director, or lesser cinematographer, this would have been a very forgetable movie. Here it is, 20 years old, and I still remember getting creeped out by it. No blood, no axes hurled through the air, just sheer confusion and dread. I did read a bit about the Channel Islands, and the hardships the citizens went through there. The germans were in control, and the lack of imported food meant people were starving. They must have had very strong feelings of lonliness and abandonment. Thank you for watching this, Kidman brought class and poise to a very difficult role.
I remember watching it at my dad's house, somehow my uncles, sister and friends were all in the living room watching it and we remember saying Victhor a lot XD there were about 15 people in the room all freaked out.
I remember seeing this in the theater the summer it came out. Was in summer school and one of the teachers happened to work for Warner Brothers. So they’d give us tickets. A buddy of mine and I once saw 3 movies in one night. This was one of em. My mind was also blown at this twist. The entire theater gasped. Def a great film.
I love this reaction and I love that she didn't figure it out because she sure was trying lol. I remember being floored when I watched this back when it came out. It's still so good.
One of my absolute favorite horror movies. Subverts so many normal horror tropes (silence is good and noise is bad, dark is good and light is bad, etc.) and then it all comes together and explains why with that final twist.
LOVE this movie. It's one of maybe 3 horror movies I actually bought on DVD. The last 10 minutes really is mind-blowing and makes you feel completely differently about everyone. FYI, the little girl said the servants left and THEN mummy went mad. Like the mother just couldn't handle it alone.
Hmmm 🤔 maybe Mummy was beginning to lose it, with her husband off to war and the dark and seclusion there. At some point the servants decided they'd had enough and left. Then Mummy slid completely over the edge. 🤔
I watched this film for the first time with curiosity, because I wasn't raised with a religion, (though I was baptised), and I'd been a thoroughly curious kid, with a fondness for the paranormal, the occult, and all that went with it. I loved the twist, and it was interesting to consider all the "haunted house" anecdotes through history, from the perspective of the Dead, in the same way as people always think of wild animals intruding in "our territories," though it's more realistic to think of humans as having invaded theirs. I think it's an important reversal of perspective.
Their light allergy was an actual problem when they were alive. People who have an extreme sensitivity to sunlight are born with a rare disease known as xeroderma pigmentosum. Anything that emits UV light, including the sun and some lightbulbs, can damage their skin. One of my favorite movies! Thanks, guys!
Great movie! And this reaction was definitely one of the most enjoyable to watch as it had her on the edge of her seat and guessing the entire time. Shout out to Markus for selecting an underrated horror gem. Admittedly, when I first saw the trailer years back, I too guessed that the children were vampires. The twist was one of the best and so beautifully executed.
@@YouMeTheMovies can't right now not available for tablets and my phone is off but I saw on your Twitter something about schedule for season 7 but didn't know if it was just for patreon.
What a fantastic recommendation. I was on the edge of my seat in the theater watching this film. I love it when the Mrs. has no idea what's coming in the movie. She has the best scared reactions.
I read the short story of this when I was a kid, so I knew what happened. They created an absolute masterpiece with this film. Mrs. Movies reaction with the wide eyes had me in stitches. Cheers, folks.
MY family has a VERY long history of taking photos of our dead. I have kept up this tradition and have taught my youngest daughter to continue. Although in my family, it has absolutely zero to do with "keeping their souls in photographs"! And EVERYTHING to do with our History ! Btw, I'm totally up for any questions regarding this subject.
God bless Markus, really nice choice, an underrated and relatively unknown Movie gem. And Nicole Kidman, Jesus, what a goddess. As a non Patreon I request "The Village" lol
@Janet Jones Soundtrack is great, actors are great, storytelling is slow (not everybodies piece of cake) and it is a mindfuck movie and I did not see it coming. 6.5 imdb but would say underrated. Compared for example with Django Unchained which is clearly overrated.
I went to the theater to see this when it came out and loved it. It's one of those sleeper movies that you don't hear a lot of people talk about in their top movies but I haven't heard many people say they didn't like it. If I remember correctly I believe I figured it out when all the curtains went missing. It was also 20 years ago and I could be completely wrong about that.
This is one of my favorite haunted house films, a very classy, old-school scary movie. While it's inevitably compared to the Sixth Sense (which came out just a few years before), I think this one did it better. In The Sixth Sense, the twist is just sort of the cherry on top, but the film could have worked without it for the most part. Here, the twist explains every single weird thing that happens; it's absolutely essential to the understanding of the film.
Amenabar has told more than once that they were starting the production of “The Others” when “The Sixth Sense” premiered. A lot of people involved in “The Others”went into full panic mode but Amenabar decided to go to the movies and watch it, after that he calmed their fears because for him the two stories were too different for the similarities to be a problem.
If you haven't already seen The Woman In Black with Daniel Radcliffe, I highly recommend it. The ambiance is very similar to this. A simple, but well done, gothic ghost story.
@@kennethbryant5573 The Changeling and the ghost novel The turn of the screw, by Henry James, are the two more direct inspirations to write and film The Others, Amenábar said.
So fun watching you trying to figure it out as it unfolded! I first watched this movie alone in the dark in the middle of the night because I was having insomnia. It gave me fear paralysis and I was afraid to turn it off because it was the only light in the room. I did NOT see that twist coming either.
I saw the midnight show when it came out and it spook the heck out of me. The twist was so shocking and the plot so creepy that I had to check the back seat of my car when I got to my parked car. I was just a scaredy cat but thoroughly fascinated by this movie. It's such a gem with pure atmosphere and so little gore. Kudos for not revealing anything ahead of time. One of the best scares I've ever experienced in a ghost movie.
I had no idea of the twist, and I was able to guess The Sixth Sense. lol I was so floored by the ending, I had to re-watch the scene, then sat stone quiet after just absorbing everything. This is such a gem. Now, here's hoping someone recommends The Changeling (1980). That is a proper scary movie (not horror or slasher) that still holds up, imho.
I suggest you to see "The Orphanage", it's a Spanish film by Juan Antonio Bayona and Guillermo del Toro. Another great terror film The Others's style, but different of course.
@@melissawinn3295 I only found out a second one existed a little while ago lol I looked it up and it doesn't look great imo but I'm sure I'll give it a watch at some point, if only out of curiosity 🌹
Definitely did not see the twist coming! I saw it in theaters when it came out and loved it! But it caught the whole theater off guard (and this was post-sixth sense, mind you, so to be able to pull one over in the audience that soon after Shyamalan doing it is a feat!)! Great reaction! I am now a subscriber!
Fionula Flanagan has the same dominant presence as she had in Bonanza. This is one of my favouvorites even though it is like with The Sixth sense; the twist is a one-time experience only. Another thing, the scariest room is the store-room when it's all bright as day.
Oh my, I love this movie. Saw it at the movies when it first came out. One night we saw "Moulin Rouge" the next night "The Others" so we got to see Nicole Kidman movies two days in a row. She's great ☺
I love the ending with Grace explaining her thoughts the morning after. I think horror movies today either leave things ambiguous or unnecessarily end on a cliffhanger to set up a franchise. The ending could've been incredibly nihilistic, but it was nice that you get to see Grace, Anne, Nicholas, and the servants just going on in spite of the fact that they were all already dead.
I remember seeing this in the movies when it came out, the last 15 minutes my brain was going NO WAY NO WAY NO. WAY. and the whole theater SCREAMED when the medium opened the cupboard doors.
The caretakers used to work for another family, they died during a tuberculosis outbreak in the winter of 1891. The movie takes place in 1945, Second World War had barely ended, and Charles died at war. Grace's meltdown, when she kills the kids and herself, is probably triggered by news regarding this. It is important to note that the ghosts in the film are bound by space. Grace and her children are all limited to the confines of the house, where they all died. Bertha, Edmund, and Lydia died on the premises too, since their ghosts continue existing within the property's boundaries. Their corpses are buried there and their post-mortem photo is in the attic. The fog is constantly there to make it impossible for any of the dead to leave. So when Grace tries to leave the house to get a hold of Father Legrand to exorcise the place, the ghost of Charles appears as a way of not letting her pass beyond the limits of the house. It’s alien territory for him as a ghost, and yet, because it’s his house, he could return to it, only just temporarily, not forever.
I love this film, it's the kind you remember long after you've seen it, not just a popcorn chewer. My mom always remembered a scene from a horror film when she was a girl (but not the title) where a little girls is outside her house screaming then she goes silent and a pool of blood starts leaking under the door. I found it in the Val Lewton collection, The Leopard Man. She remembered that scene for 50 or 60 years. Btw Nicole Kidman can do anything, I have a couple dozen of her films in my collection.
I usually figure out twists in movies, but the first time I watched this, I did not see that coming at all. The spookiest movie I have ever seen. They didn't have to rely on gore. It was just a really good story.
Watching the piano scene while knowing the twist completely recontextualizes the whole scene and it's really cool to think about. *Spoilers for anyone perusing the comments that haven't gotten to the end yet.* The father is playing the piano, but stops when he hears the door unlatch and then open. While Grace is walking in, he's gotten up from the piano bench and is walking over to the door as she gets closer to the piano. Then he closes the door, while likely hanging around nearby it. Then Grace goes to leave and starts to gently push the door open slightly, and he's absolutely fed up with all the ghost shit and slams the door shut and locks it. Probably how I'd be handling that situation lol
I much prefer this type of horror to slasher films. Throwing buckets of blood at the screen isn't scary, but a movie that can slowly ratchet up the tension and twist the knife of dread into you without a single gruesome or grisly death takes talent.
Hi, new subscriber here 👋 This is such a good movie and an equally good reaction! The first time I watched it I also had NO idea what was happening, the twist blew my mind. It's so good that you can watch it over and over and it's still great as you view it with a completely different understanding. Just brilliant all round ♡
It was common to take pictures of the dead and keep them. In the early years of photography, it was quite expensive to have a photo taken so many people would go their entire lives and never have their picture taken. So as not to forget those that had died and what they looked liked, the only pictures of a lot of people were taken after they were dead, often propped up in a favorite chair or place they usually sat. Many families had an album of the dead as a heirloom. Say your talking about old uncle Frank and his wife Thelma to the kids, but they didn't remember them. No worries Johnny, here's a picture of them stitched up just fine after the car accident. You can barely tell that rock crushed Thelma's skull. Ah, sweet memories! ❤️💀😂👍
Yeah, one of the greatest ghost movies ever, it's so smart that the actual twist, altough hinted since the begining, it takes you by surprise, so well written.
I never figured it out, I thought the only ghosts were the staff. It's a fantastic movie and one i've watched many times since. It's already a classic. 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.
Great reaction, was delighted you never saw it coming :) I first watched this when it came out, although it all felt very weird, I never saw it coming neither. Watching it back with you guys, I noticed a lot of clues and throwaway comments like 'theyre viewing the house' (new buyers) that I really shouldve realized first time.
Has the guy already seen all the movies and tv shows they watch or only most of them? Also I think he is the perfect example of how to act during a reaction if you’ve seen it and the other person hasn’t.
Most of the movies we watch I have seen. I went to school for film making so I'm kind of a film junky. If there's something that has released since we met and settled down and had a family, those most likely will be new to both of us. I will say in the intro if I haven't seen a movie. If I don't you can assume I have.
@@YouMeTheMovies Just so you two know the disease the children had is real it's called XP you can look it up on Wikipedia. They made a made for T>V movie about it in the 90's called Children of the Dark and Arnold Schwarzenegger's son was in a movie where his love interest had it the movie is called Midnight Sun it's on Netflix right now
Another great reaction! "Oh. mylanta!" 😂 I love introducing people to this movie. Since haunted houses are so popular with you both😉, I'd like to risk the wrath of the Mrs. and strongly suggest you guys react to The Haunting Of Hill House on Netflix, unless you've already seen it (hope not🤞🏼). And if you have, then maybe the follow-up, Bly Manor?
My friends and I watched this in the theaters when it came out. Scared me the whole time and when that reveal of the house servants were dead (in that photograph), man….my skin crawled!!!!
Great reaction to a great film with a great cast. It was wonderful to see Eric Sykes in what must have been one of his last roles...and no I didn't guess completely what was going on till right at the end when it was too late. 👍👍👍
First time watching your reaction, I love how you are continuosly guessing about the movie, I love that you have two cameras, and I love how you use the whole screen to put the movie. Kudos!
Seen a few of your video reviews and watches and it's interesting what others think of movies. With the long-term lockdown, I have been seeing repeatedly movies. Thanks!
I absolutely love this movie. I was gut punched when I saw it the first time. Brilliantly written, brilliant cast, brilliant atmosphere and the lurking creeping feeling of wtf is happening...
Great choice Markus!...this is one of my favorite films ever, no blood guts, or gore needed (even though I like scary movies like that too). This one is just a different kind of creepy...such an awesome twist too. Makes me happy when I see people react to this film for the first time, their shock at the end is priceless. Love seeing the Mrs. react to scary movies, seeing her cover her face with her hands is so funny. Hope you guys save some scary film reactions for the month of October! 🎃
Not sure what I loved more - the film, which I saw at a local theater when it was first released or your great & hilarious reaction. I will definitely look for more of your TH-cam videos. Nice job !
My guess Nicole is viewed through the children's eyes, they died before her, so they remembered her as she was. We do not see what the adult ghosts see, mainly that she had shotgun wounds to her head. What was the hint is the statement by the daughter of the caretaker couple says "she couldn't take it anymore." The husband saw her, but had seen enough bloodshed in war.
It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie but I remember thinking that they all might be dead. All the curtains randomly disappearing confirmed it for me.
interestingly and morbidly, the Victorians went for 'death' photography in a big way, it was a popular thing for a while. Death was so common in the Victorian times - epidemics such as diphtheria, typhus and cholera alongside tuberculosis taking children and babies, they became a way of commemorating the dead and blunting the sharpness of grief, rather than their spirits living on. The actual living servants were in the house, they woke up (probably by the gunshot) to find the carnage of the dead family. Grace and the children moved into the world of the dead and couldn't see the servants as they were in the world of the living as they were alive - not knowing that she was dead, it seemed to Grace as if they just disappeared but she was just dead and now a ghost. The servants likely went and fetched the police and then left the house to find new jobs a few days later.
I figured it out early, when the death pictures were shown, that the caretakers were from another time. They became ghosts around the turn of the century, the mother with her children in the 40ties. The living people were from the fifties. So for a while, Nicole and the kids were "The Others" from the perspective of the caretakers, and the interlopers in the house.
No one else is mentioning this but i didnt realize that Catelyn Stark is the kother of the new house owners. Loved this movie when i first watched it in theaters after being recommended by friends. Love it now
The part that always gets me that I didn't realize until like my 10th time watching, is that the mother always complains of migraines.

Wow I only just caught that. Thank you

Really don't think that's it, her migraines where part of what drove her to go mad and the stress of the situation she was in before going mad was what drove the migraines.
@mash83 i think she had migraines before but I thinknthey were exacerbated and she complains that theyre REALLY bad because Anne also has breathing fits where she breathes loudly and struggles for air because that's how she dies. So grace has had terrible migraines because that's how SHE died. Anyway, it's my theory
This movie holds up pretty damn well even if you know how it ends.
Genius level twist
The atmosphere is so good the whole time.
@@conureron3792 Same Twist as in the 6th Sense when Bruce Willis doesn't know he's a Ghost
Yah just rewatched it for the second time after years and that scene at the end is embedded into my mind cause it was such a shock. I was still glued the second time regaurdless
I love rewatching movies like this.
I don’t think the husband actually knew he was dead, I think because he was a soldier he is stuck in his own kind of limbo. “Sometimes I bleed” replaying his own death. “The war is not over” he believes he has to go back to fight in the war, that’s just how I always saw it
That was very sad.
The dead are still fighting
I’m not sure. I believe Ann told him what happened with the pillows at some point and he couldn’t be with Grace anymore after what she did to herself and to his children, but realized that Grace didn’t remember what she’d done and he couldn’t break her heart with the truth, so he left.
I always thought that the dad was a little ahead of the main 3, so he is beginning to grasp the situation while NK and the kids still believe they are amongst the living. The line “ I just came back to say goodbye to my wife and kids”, to me at least, speaks about his purpose for returning when he did. Just my opinion, but god damn this is how you write a thriller/suspense movie…classic for sure.
You're pretty sharp.
Nicole Kidman should have won an Oscar for her outstanding performance in this film 🎥🤩👍
Totally agree. Some 'rankers' reckon this is her best film. Apart from her brilliant performance how elegant is she here? At her loveliest 😍

Try out the masterpiece "The Changeling"(1980). It definitely was an inspiration for "The Others".
A classic that unfortunately not a lot of people know about.
I think it got overshadowed by Cruise and Kidman's divorce, which happened right around release. Such a shame..it's a beautifully crafted movie.
That's why Nicole Kidman's character screamed at the start. I think she relived what happened with her kids and then got 'reset'. How many times over the decades has she been doing that?
@@sirenely9211 that's what she thinks.
@@sirenely9211 true but time for the deceased isn't the same as the living
But she is very beaty
The living family is dressed in 1940s style so she and the kids have only been dead couple of years or so.
Nah she's been dead about a week. The story starts in 1945 a few months after the war ended at the most
The real reason people had photographs of dead loved ones taken in that time period was because photography was expensive and many people never had their picture taken during their lives, so having one taken after death was the only way to have a picture to remember someone by. It was not about their souls.
It also helps that early photography required the person to not move for 15 minutes or more and if they did, it ruined the photography process. The dead don't move much.

The best part of this film is that you spend the entire movie afraid of seeing a ghost, and you've actually been watching ghosts the entire time.
And it humanizes them.
Like, all the scary noises and Doors creaking open are just them going through super mundane days. There was nothing the living should have been scared off.
Proud of ya, dude. You didn't give it away. She was probing you, tossing out all kinds of theories. "She's killed all the servants! Don't look in the basement!" Checking your reactions to see if she was getting warmer or colder. But the only way to respond without giving anything away was the poker face. At this point, it should be clear that any attempts to actively lead her down the wrong path ("Are ya sure it was Roy? Could've been somebody else.") will only confirm that she's on the right path.
I would give it away for $50
@@azazello1784 Well then it wouldn't be giving. It would be selling.
she's usually able to guess what's going to happen pretty well it seems. movies like this where there's a blatant huge twist.. it sucks to know it before you watch it. and yeah he's got a good poker face. it's satisfying though when the twist pays off.
Whenever I watch a movie (that I've already seen) with someone, and that person tries to ask me anything about it, I just insist they watch the movie instead of talking to me.
There **IS** a reason for watching the movie. (And it is not so that you can be told all the answers before they appear on the screen)
He's always really good at being vague, but giving leading questions to plot, or anything else really, without giving it away. Their interactions are always perfect.
I have always loved how the twist at the end humbles and sobers Grace from a religious perspective. She's faced with the reality of her own ghostly immortality and has to admit that she doesn't know how any of this works anymore.
People forget about this movie... this twist at the end made me go crazy... and I saw this when it first came out... to see the haunting from the ghost perspective wasnt a thing until this movie.. very original... p.s... I love that when she ask questions you just look at her... lol...
The children were superb in this film! They really held the story together.... what a good solid psychological thriller this is! Loved both you reactions here. Thanks for sharing

I love that this movie is making the rounds on TH-cam. We really need more tense, quiet horror films like this.
So well written.
Side fact. Nicole Kidman's then husband Tom Cruise was a producer on the film. Their divorce was announced just before the film was officially released. Though they were both contractually obligated to the filming and production before they divorced.
I think that's why this is one of Kidman's best performances. She must has been channelling so much emotional energy.
There is a video, somewhere on TH-cam, with an analysis of The Others in which they do go through that idea, that Kidman was also channeling the feeling of being always spied upon, always alone even when not, suffering an existential crisis while her husband just... drifts in and out and having nobody to count on.
Jersey was the only part of the British Isles that was successfully invaded and occupied by the Germans in WWII. This on top of the constant darkness and the isolation drove her insane. This film is actually really sad. Great reaction.
I did not see the twist coming the first time I saw this movie. I've always been impressed by it from a film making perspective. To keep the audience intrigued with such a small cast, and no change of setting, shows how well written the story is. Nothing about the film scared me, however. I always thought of it as more of a mystery movie than a straight-up horror movie. I mean, the horror elements are all there but in a kind of subdued, storytelling kind of way. No real jump scares or grotesque images. A good horror pic for people who don't want anything too scary.
Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands. All the islands are part of the UK, even though they're closer to France. During World War 2, the islands were the only part of the UK to be occupied by the Germans. The occupation lasted between 1940-45. My mum came from the second largest, Guernsey, but moved to England in the 1950's. Great reaction 👍👏🍻. All the best from the UK.
@@damagedheather That sounds like a distinction for tax purposes.
I’ve loved this film for nearly 20 years. Saw it in the theater where, when the end is revealed, a man in the theater actually said right out loud “holy 💩!” And a lot of us verbally agreed 😂 only time I’ve ever been in a theater with strangers and we were all completely locked in, and collectively thought the same thing and everyone knew it. It’s my humble opinion as a horror connoisseur, that this is one of the best horror films of all time. The atmosphere, the premise, the gorgeous yet dreary period setting, that ultra original, utterly genius, very existential script filled w/ terror, tragedy and one hell of an incredible perspective, all brilliantly directing by Amenabar; and that location, perfect for the tone of the film. With enough suspense to literally make one’s skin crawl, and one’s heart pound in one’s ear. Just expertly done from start to finish. The kind of exceptional horror film that comes along about once every decade.
As great as it is, it’s almost criminally overlooked and drastically underrated. Despite a staggeringly exceptional performance by Kidman, rivaling that of Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby. Carrying practically the whole film, she expertly shares the fear, sadness, desperation, loneliness, rigid staunchness of beliefs, love of her children despite the horrifying things she did before they came to the other side, trepidation and sheer terror, with us whole heartedly.
Kidman turned in an Oscar worthy performance here, and no matter how many times I’ve seen it, it’s always an incredible performance and film. Thank you for reacting to it.
Saw this in theaters, and the huge ending twist just made my mouth dropped to the floor!!
I like how the movie tells you what happened in the very beginning with Anne saying, "Mummy went mad...she had a pillow."
This movie is a hidden gem, doesn't get enough love... "Tiny screen watcher..." Man, I laughed at that 🤣🤣
In the hands of a poor director, or lesser cinematographer, this would have been a very forgetable movie. Here it is, 20 years old, and I still remember getting creeped out by it. No blood, no axes hurled through the air, just sheer confusion and dread. I did read a bit about the Channel Islands, and the hardships the citizens went through there. The germans were in control, and the lack of imported food meant people were starving. They must have had very strong feelings of lonliness and abandonment. Thank you for watching this, Kidman brought class and poise to a very difficult role.
I remember watching it at my dad's house, somehow my uncles, sister and friends were all in the living room watching it and we remember saying Victhor a lot XD there were about 15 people in the room all freaked out.
I remember seeing this in the theater the summer it came out. Was in summer school and one of the teachers happened to work for Warner Brothers. So they’d give us tickets. A buddy of mine and I once saw 3 movies in one night. This was one of em. My mind was also blown at this twist. The entire theater gasped. Def a great film.
I love this reaction and I love that she didn't figure it out because she sure was trying lol. I remember being floored when I watched this back when it came out. It's still so good.
Watching Sixth Sense feels like we were fooled by the director.
Watching The Others feels exactly being haunted.
The husband is played by Christopher Eccleston, the man who revitalized Doctor Who by playing the 9th Doctor!
One of my absolute favorite horror movies. Subverts so many normal horror tropes (silence is good and noise is bad, dark is good and light is bad, etc.) and then it all comes together and explains why with that final twist.
LOVE this movie. It's one of maybe 3 horror movies I actually bought on DVD. The last 10 minutes really is mind-blowing and makes you feel completely differently about everyone.
FYI, the little girl said the servants left and THEN mummy went mad. Like the mother just couldn't handle it alone.
Hmmm 🤔 maybe
Mummy was beginning to lose it, with her husband off to war and the dark and seclusion there. At some point the servants decided they'd had enough and left. Then Mummy slid completely over the edge. 🤔
I watched this film for the first time with curiosity, because I wasn't raised with a religion, (though I was baptised), and I'd been a thoroughly curious kid, with a fondness for the paranormal, the occult, and all that went with it. I loved the twist, and it was interesting to consider all the "haunted house" anecdotes through history, from the perspective of the Dead, in the same way as people always think of wild animals intruding in "our territories," though it's more realistic to think of humans as having invaded theirs. I think it's an important reversal of perspective.
Their light allergy was an actual problem when they were alive. People who have an extreme sensitivity to sunlight are born with a rare disease known as xeroderma pigmentosum. Anything that emits UV light, including the sun and some lightbulbs, can damage their skin.
One of my favorite movies! Thanks, guys!
Great movie! And this reaction was definitely one of the most enjoyable to watch as it had her on the edge of her seat and guessing the entire time. Shout out to Markus for selecting an underrated horror gem. Admittedly, when I first saw the trailer years back, I too guessed that the children were vampires. The twist was one of the best and so beautifully executed.
Glad you enjoyed it!

What a fantastic recommendation. I was on the edge of my seat in the theater watching this film. I love it when the Mrs. has no idea what's coming in the movie. She has the best scared reactions.
I read the short story of this when I was a kid, so I knew what happened. They created an absolute masterpiece with this film. Mrs. Movies reaction with the wide eyes had me in stitches. Cheers, folks.
MY family has a VERY long history of taking photos of our dead. I have kept up this tradition and have taught my youngest daughter to continue. Although in my family, it has absolutely zero to do with "keeping their souls in photographs"! And EVERYTHING to do with our History ! Btw, I'm totally up for any questions regarding this subject.
That's so interesting ❤
I didn’t know it was still an act of love/honour. We all grieve differently. 🙏
God bless Markus, really nice choice, an underrated and relatively unknown Movie gem. And Nicole Kidman, Jesus, what a goddess. As a non Patreon I request "The Village" lol
@Janet Jones yeah whatever
@Janet Jones Oh you are talking about the Villiage. Yeah well, still it has some flair.
@Janet Jones Soundtrack is great, actors are great, storytelling is slow (not everybodies piece of cake) and it is a mindfuck movie and I did not see it coming. 6.5 imdb but would say underrated. Compared for example with Django Unchained which is clearly overrated.
Another twist ending. Good choice! ☺
I like The Village. Saw it at the movies. It was chilling in some parts ☺
I went to the theater to see this when it came out and loved it. It's one of those sleeper movies that you don't hear a lot of people talk about in their top movies but I haven't heard many people say they didn't like it. If I remember correctly I believe I figured it out when all the curtains went missing. It was also 20 years ago and I could be completely wrong about that.
Only one word describes this film. Masterpiece!
This is one of my favorite haunted house films, a very classy, old-school scary movie. While it's inevitably compared to the Sixth Sense (which came out just a few years before), I think this one did it better. In The Sixth Sense, the twist is just sort of the cherry on top, but the film could have worked without it for the most part. Here, the twist explains every single weird thing that happens; it's absolutely essential to the understanding of the film.
Amenabar has told more than once that they were starting the production of “The Others” when “The Sixth Sense” premiered.
A lot of people involved in “The Others”went into full panic mode but Amenabar decided to go to the movies and watch it, after that he calmed their fears because for him the two stories were too different for the similarities to be a problem.
If you haven't already seen The Woman In Black with Daniel Radcliffe, I highly recommend it. The ambiance is very similar to this. A simple, but well done, gothic ghost story.
Please check out "The Changeling" (1980). It is one of my all time favorites for this genre.
@@kennethbryant5573 The Changeling and the ghost novel The turn of the screw, by Henry James, are the two more direct inspirations to write and film The Others, Amenábar said.
So fun watching you trying to figure it out as it unfolded! I first watched this movie alone in the dark in the middle of the night because I was having insomnia. It gave me fear paralysis and I was afraid to turn it off because it was the only light in the room. I did NOT see that twist coming either.
I saw the midnight show when it came out and it spook the heck out of me. The twist was so shocking and the plot so creepy that I had to check the back seat of my car when I got to my parked car. I was just a scaredy cat but thoroughly fascinated by this movie. It's such a gem with pure atmosphere and so little gore. Kudos for not revealing anything ahead of time. One of the best scares I've ever experienced in a ghost movie.
I had no idea of the twist, and I was able to guess The Sixth Sense. lol I was so floored by the ending, I had to re-watch the scene, then sat stone quiet after just absorbing everything. This is such a gem. Now, here's hoping someone recommends The Changeling (1980). That is a proper scary movie (not horror or slasher) that still holds up, imho.
I love The Changeling !!
The Changeling - great idea!
I suggest you to see "The Orphanage", it's a Spanish film by Juan Antonio Bayona and Guillermo del Toro. Another great terror film The Others's style, but different of course.
That movie is awesome
What a great movie that is. Not only creepy but also very emotional. The main actress, Bélen Rueda, is magnificent.
If you've never seen Stir Of Echoes with Kevin Bacon then I highly recommend, one of my favourite films.
Stir of Echos 2 is ma favourite one but I do love the first one aswell
Yes please!!!!
It came out right after 6th Sense and kind of got overlooked even though I think it's the better movie.
SoE is one of m favorite ghost/mystery movies!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!
@@melissawinn3295 I only found out a second one existed a little while ago lol I looked it up and it doesn't look great imo but I'm sure I'll give it a watch at some point, if only out of curiosity 🌹
Definitely did not see the twist coming! I saw it in theaters when it came out and loved it! But it caught the whole theater off guard (and this was post-sixth sense, mind you, so to be able to pull one over in the audience that soon after Shyamalan doing it is a feat!)! Great reaction! I am now a subscriber!
Fionula Flanagan has the same dominant presence as she had in Bonanza. This is one of my favouvorites even though it is like with The Sixth sense; the twist is a one-time experience only.
Another thing, the scariest room is the store-room when it's all bright as day.
Saw this at the movie theatre at the time of release. Great effective chills down the spine. Did not realize the twist untill it was revield.
I absolutely LOVE how the ending was done. Not just that it was a Huge twist. But seeing a seance from the point of view of the ghosts was so cool.
I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out. Very impressed and this is so underrated. Had no clue that they were the ghosts.
Oh my, I love this movie. Saw it at the movies when it first came out. One night we saw "Moulin Rouge" the next night "The Others" so we got to see Nicole Kidman movies two days in a row. She's great ☺
I love the subtle hints throughout the movie like when she was telling Ann to stop breathing when she was panting heavily at the dinner table.
I love the ending with Grace explaining her thoughts the morning after. I think horror movies today either leave things ambiguous or unnecessarily end on a cliffhanger to set up a franchise. The ending could've been incredibly nihilistic, but it was nice that you get to see Grace, Anne, Nicholas, and the servants just going on in spite of the fact that they were all already dead.
I remember seeing this in the movies when it came out, the last 15 minutes my brain was going NO WAY NO WAY NO. WAY. and the whole theater SCREAMED when the medium opened the cupboard doors.
The caretakers used to work for another family, they died during a tuberculosis outbreak in the winter of 1891.
The movie takes place in 1945, Second World War had barely ended, and Charles died at war. Grace's meltdown, when she kills the kids and herself, is probably triggered by news regarding this.
It is important to note that the ghosts in the film are bound by space.
Grace and her children are all limited to the confines of the house, where they all died.
Bertha, Edmund, and Lydia died on the premises too, since their ghosts continue existing within the property's boundaries. Their corpses are buried there and their post-mortem photo is in the attic.
The fog is constantly there to make it impossible for any of the dead to leave. So when Grace tries to leave the house to get a hold of Father Legrand to exorcise the place, the ghost of Charles appears as a way of not letting her pass beyond the limits of the house. It’s alien territory for him as a ghost, and yet, because it’s his house, he could return to it, only just temporarily, not forever.
This was one of the scariest films for me as a kid! Excited to watch your reaction 😊
I love this film, it's the kind you remember long after you've seen it, not just a popcorn chewer. My mom always remembered a scene from a horror film when she was a girl (but not the title) where a little girls is outside her house screaming then she goes silent and a pool of blood starts leaking under the door. I found it in the Val Lewton collection, The Leopard Man. She remembered that scene for 50 or 60 years. Btw Nicole Kidman can do anything, I have a couple dozen of her films in my collection.
I love this movie! Creepy as hell without showing any blood or violence. Nice that you responded to that 👍.
I usually figure out twists in movies, but the first time I watched this, I did not see that coming at all. The spookiest movie I have ever seen. They didn't have to rely on gore. It was just a really good story.
Watching the piano scene while knowing the twist completely recontextualizes the whole scene and it's really cool to think about. *Spoilers for anyone perusing the comments that haven't gotten to the end yet.*
The father is playing the piano, but stops when he hears the door unlatch and then open. While Grace is walking in, he's gotten up from the piano bench and is walking over to the door as she gets closer to the piano. Then he closes the door, while likely hanging around nearby it. Then Grace goes to leave and starts to gently push the door open slightly, and he's absolutely fed up with all the ghost shit and slams the door shut and locks it.
Probably how I'd be handling that situation lol
I remember when I first watched this the ending was such a great moment. Always felt like this is an underrated movie. Glad you liked it
I much prefer this type of horror to slasher films. Throwing buckets of blood at the screen isn't scary, but a movie that can slowly ratchet up the tension and twist the knife of dread into you without a single gruesome or grisly death takes talent.
Brilliant movie! One of my fave scary movies. Love how the living & dead were basically haunting each other. Liked the different eras of ghosts too
Hi, new subscriber here 👋
This is such a good movie and an equally good reaction! The first time I watched it I also had NO idea what was happening, the twist blew my mind. It's so good that you can watch it over and over and it's still great as you view it with a completely different understanding. Just brilliant all round ♡
It was common to take pictures of the dead and keep them. In the early years of photography, it was quite expensive to have a photo taken so many people would go their entire lives and never have their picture taken. So as not to forget those that had died and what they looked liked, the only pictures of a lot of people were taken after they were dead, often propped up in a favorite chair or place they usually sat. Many families had an album of the dead as a heirloom. Say your talking about old uncle Frank and his wife Thelma to the kids, but they didn't remember them. No worries Johnny, here's a picture of them stitched up just fine after the car accident. You can barely tell that rock crushed Thelma's skull. Ah, sweet memories! ❤️💀😂👍
No worries?! Such pictures creeps me the f out as it should any sane living person.
That freaking disturbing the heck! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, one of the greatest ghost movies ever, it's so smart that the actual twist, altough hinted since the begining, it takes you by surprise, so well written.
I never figured it out, I thought the only ghosts were the staff. It's a fantastic movie and one i've watched many times since. It's already a classic.
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.
Great reaction, was delighted you never saw it coming :) I first watched this when it came out, although it all felt very weird, I never saw it coming neither. Watching it back with you guys, I noticed a lot of clues and throwaway comments like 'theyre viewing the house' (new buyers) that I really shouldve realized first time.
Has the guy already seen all the movies and tv shows they watch or only most of them?
Also I think he is the perfect example of how to act during a reaction if you’ve seen it and the other person hasn’t.
Most of the movies we watch I have seen. I went to school for film making so I'm kind of a film junky. If there's something that has released since we met and settled down and had a family, those most likely will be new to both of us. I will say in the intro if I haven't seen a movie. If I don't you can assume I have.
@@YouMeTheMovies Just so you two know the disease the children had is real it's called XP you can look it up on Wikipedia. They made a made for T>V movie about it in the 90's called Children of the Dark and Arnold Schwarzenegger's son was in a movie where his love interest had it the movie is called Midnight Sun it's on Netflix right now
Another great reaction! "Oh. mylanta!" 😂 I love introducing people to this movie. Since haunted houses are so popular with you both😉, I'd like to risk the wrath of the Mrs. and strongly suggest you guys react to The Haunting Of Hill House on Netflix, unless you've already seen it (hope not🤞🏼). And if you have, then maybe the follow-up, Bly Manor?
The Haunting of Hill House series is a great suggestion!
She should be a horror novel writer. She came up with some pretty good ideas during her various theory-sessions xD.
I did not figure out the twist first time I watched it. Love when you are genuinely caught by surprise with films.
My friends and I watched this in the theaters when it came out. Scared me the whole time and when that reveal of the house servants were dead (in that photograph), man….my skin crawled!!!!
Finally someone who gets it.
"Sometimes I bleed" 😂😂😂
This movie has beautiful photography. Love this movie 👌🏻👍🏻
It’s really a beautiful ghost story. One of the best movies of its kind. If not the best.
08:29 "Vik.. Viktor...?" Lmao with the introduction of a new character(?) very unsettling for The Mrs. "...Haunted house?"
Great reaction to a great film with a great cast. It was wonderful to see Eric Sykes in what must have been one of his last roles...and no I didn't guess completely what was going on till right at the end when it was too late. 👍👍👍
First time watching your reaction, I love how you are continuosly guessing about the movie, I love that you have two cameras, and I love how you use the whole screen to put the movie. Kudos!
I was shocked in the theater. It’s actually two movies: it’s a completely different movie when you watch it knowing how it ends.
Would you ever consider doing Jacob's Ladder? That's a psychological horror and I think you would find it interesting.
Oh yis
I love how your wife has so many questions... this movie is so well written
Seen a few of your video reviews and watches and it's interesting what others think of movies. With the long-term lockdown, I have been seeing repeatedly movies. Thanks!
I absolutely love this movie. I was gut punched when I saw it the first time.
Brilliantly written, brilliant cast, brilliant atmosphere and the lurking creeping feeling of wtf is happening...
Girl ... your reaction was ABSOLLUTLTY all I want !! Love it!! Have a new follower
Great choice Markus!...this is one of my favorite films ever, no blood guts, or gore needed (even though I like scary movies like that too). This one is just a different kind of creepy...such an awesome twist too. Makes me happy when I see people react to this film for the first time, their shock at the end is priceless. Love seeing the Mrs. react to scary movies, seeing her cover her face with her hands is so funny. Hope you guys save some scary film reactions for the month of October! 🎃
Not sure what I loved more - the film, which I saw at a local theater when it was first released or your great & hilarious reaction. I will definitely look for more of your TH-cam videos. Nice job !
"I love Haunted houses."
Poltergeist: "Allow me to introduce myself."
I forgot how good this movie was. Loved her reactions, always great with haunting movies.
My guess Nicole is viewed through the children's eyes, they died before her, so they remembered her as she was. We do not see what the adult ghosts see, mainly that she had shotgun wounds to her head. What was the hint is the statement by the daughter of the caretaker couple says "she couldn't take it anymore." The husband saw her, but had seen enough bloodshed in war.
I actually guessed the ending of the Sixth Sense but I didn't see it coming in this one. It's a very well constructed story.
Your reaction was perfection. Can you believe they are planning to remake this already?
It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie but I remember thinking that they all might be dead. All the curtains randomly disappearing confirmed it for me.
Marcus you evil evil man 😂 job well done sir!
Hang in there mrs! We’re here for
You 🤣
interestingly and morbidly, the Victorians went for 'death' photography in a big way, it was a popular thing for a while. Death was so common in the Victorian times - epidemics such as diphtheria, typhus and cholera alongside tuberculosis taking children and babies, they became a way of commemorating the dead and blunting the sharpness of grief, rather than their spirits living on.
The actual living servants were in the house, they woke up (probably by the gunshot) to find the carnage of the dead family. Grace and the children moved into the world of the dead and couldn't see the servants as they were in the world of the living as they were alive - not knowing that she was dead, it seemed to Grace as if they just disappeared but she was just dead and now a ghost. The servants likely went and fetched the police and then left the house to find new jobs a few days later.
I love how in all these scary movies you peek out between your fingers. So adorable!
Great movie! I got to see this one in the theater and I didn't see the twist coming either. Love your all's reactions. Much love! J.
Another great if stressed reaction, nice to see the great Eric Sykes as Mr Tuttle and loved the Mrs did not pick up on the twist.......this time!
I figured it out early, when the death pictures were shown, that the caretakers were from another time. They became ghosts around the turn of the century, the mother with her children in the 40ties. The living people were from the fifties. So for a while, Nicole and the kids were "The Others" from the perspective of the caretakers, and the interlopers in the house.
No one else is mentioning this but i didnt realize that Catelyn Stark is the kother of the new house owners. Loved this movie when i first watched it in theaters after being recommended by friends. Love it now
