Set in 1945, Grace (Kidman) lives in a remote, fog-shrouded mansion with her two children, who suffer from a rare photosensitivity disease that makes sunlight deadly.
Directed by Alejandro Amenábar and starring Nicole Kidman, this film is a masterpiece of gothic horror . It relies on a "languorous, dreamy atmosphere" rather than cheap jump scares or gore.
This literary thriller is an exquisite and gentle yet often "grisly" exploration of isolation.
It is famous for a natural and masterfully crafted twist ending that forces viewers to recontextualise the entire story. The Others (2021 Book by Mark Brandi)

Because "Others" is a common title, I have provided reviews for the most prominent works with that name across film, literature, and gaming.
