Sunday night we watched The Others. I've only been watching horrors for the past couple of years really, so I'm catching up on a lot of old movies.

I liked this one cause it's a lot like a ghost story you'd tell around a camp fire, but without the cheesiness and the bad ending. Many horrors just go too far, throw in some dead bodies and plenty of pouring blood and maggots and gore and you've got it good and scary... I say nah. This movie has no blood, nothing visually revolting and still made it good.

Instead, it's a pretty beautiful visual experience, great story with a perfect twist, and I loved the performance by Nicole Kidman and Fionnula Flanagan who made it very believeable. This one is great for the slightly squeamish type who feels sick from blood but still wants a good scare. Chick-flick horror, I guess. :)
