Anyone seen "The Others?"

[Adrenaline Junkie]

I'm planning to go Friday night out for a date to see this movie. Anyone have any thoughts on the movie?

From what I've heard, it's a very delicious movie.

It is a great Movie, with terror and excitement all wrapped up in lots of creepy jumpy screamy scenes! Very enojoyable and Highly reccomended by me!

The Others it is.

I also here that there isn't any corny computer effects in the film to offend the eye.

nope :) just nicole kidman hahaha

just kidding... i have a thing about nicole kidman because she LOOKS SO MUCH like my childhood best friend, oy, it's uncanny at times, especially in this movie... hehehe... they are such different characters that it's weird I'm like "But Rae would NEVER act like that!" :D

LMAO.

I wish I had a friend that looked like Nicole Kidman, if you know what I mean. haha! Just kidding.

You have any favorite movies? Horror movies I mean.

[Lilu]

Ooh... horror movies... hehehe

hmmmm

well I dunno about favourites... I liked the Scream series, but then I go in for all that blood and guts type stuff (not exactly your typical fainty girl - hehe) but then there is a difference between horror and thriller... at least to me.

I think of this movie (The Others) as more of a horror/thriller - it's suspenseful, even if you can guess the end ;) Whatever you do, don't go see "The Ghosts of Mars" if you have a problem with self-mutilation... ewwww... that had me tossing and turning. ick. I love blood and guts, but something about doing it to yourself... gives me the creeps!

There was a "horror" movie I watched a few years ago, can't remember the name of it - but this wacko dude was kidnapping people, and piercing them, sewing their eyelids and mouths closed, and all sorts of really bizarre weird things... I have had real issues with torture in movies ever since then - creepy stuff.

But I like the traditional horror stuff - Nightmare on Elm Street - that whole series was very cool, Friday the 13th, Halloween, all those "classics". :) I liked Omen too. And Poltergeist. Oooh. You know I just haven't seen much modern horror lately.

Either have I. And the stuff we see now, is mindless fluff, that isn't scary what so ever.

I personally love the Exorcist. I had a childhood trauma with that movie, lol. I wouldn't sleep on my bed because I thought I'd levitate, and my whole room was lit up like times square when I went to sleep. Oh ye Goddess! I was literally so scared.

[Lilu]

LOL You know that is one movie I'm not sure I've actually SAT THROUGH. Though the parts I did see of it I thought were cool!

My friend had nightmares after "Silence of the Lambs" - I don't think it deserved that much credit ;) hehe

I did watch some low-budget horror movie once inadvertently as a kid. I was home sick, and Mum had a bunch of rentals that had to go back, and I was SUPPOSED to be reading "The Adventures of Mr. Meddlesome" (Enid Blyton) but I kept peeking out over the top of the book to watch this horror movie... hehehe

I think it was called "Countdown" but I don't remember, I was only like 11 at the time or something. But it was about a bunch of young people at camp in the woods somewhere, and there was like this Indian reservation or something nearby. Well, the movie flashes back to the 50's or whatever and this guy who gave this girl a little pink teddy bear, and then they were both murdered by this guy in an Indian mask or something.

Well, these kids get to the camp and start setting up home in the cabins and this one girl finds the teddy. What follows is this whole slaughter of the people, whoever holding the teddy being the victim, by this Indian. One of the scenes, this girl was running and trapped in a house with the Indian guy, and she's in the attic and can't get out the window, goes and lies down on the bed, and BAM! a sword comes right up through the bed and stabs her in the stomach. Yikes!

I tell you, I didn't sleep on my back for MONTHS afterwards, I kept thinking if someone was going to stab me with a sword they'd have a much harder time doing it if I slept on my side. LOL And I always had to check under the bed before getting in too. Childhood trauma indeed. Never stopped me from wanting more, more! haha

LOL :D

I remember a scene like that once. Perhaps it was the same movie you saw too? I don't remember much else, except that. LOL, good to see I'm not the only person whos had traumas because of horror movies!

I've got another trauma to add to the list, when I first saw The Nightmare on Elmstreet, I had nightmares for months of Freddy chasing me. I also thought he'd get me at night, so I hide under the covers. My whole body, head, face - everything. When I wanted to look out I made a little hole for my eyes. LOL.

Well it's been fun chatting about traumas and horror movies. I've got to get to bed now, after watching The Simpsons first. heheh.

G'Night ;)

Heh heh. The Others was alright. I kind of liked it, but then it was also pretty predictable. And not being the jumpy sort, I didn't get as much out of it as most would. I felt like it kind of drug on. I mean I pretty much would form my idea of what was going to happen and got annoyed having to wait so long just to find out if I was right or not. But still, it was at least a movie that makes one ponder for a while, which sadly, most don't. And it was pretty well written and acted. There wasn't any point in the plot where you could only explain why people did what they were doing through extreme stupidity. (In my opinion, that's always a sign of an unintelligent writer.) So all-in-all, it was pretty good. :)

I always loved Nightmare on Elm Street. Strangely, the movies never scared me. I always thought it was all pretty cool. Except for a couple of gross scenes which wasn't so much fear as just sick to my stomach. **L**

My favorite movies were the Poltergeist movies. At least I think it was them. With the haunted house and the wall eating the kids and all. Darn those were some freaky things to watch as a kid. Is it any wonder I hate clowns? Heh heh.

As a kid, watching Hellraiser was not a good idea. **L** That movie left me cringing for months. Freddi was nothing compared to that.

I dont think its out over here, i havnt heard of it, whats it about?

[slvr_phoenix]

It's a suspenseful movie set during something like WWII (I think) about a family with ghost problems. Or something like that. :)
