A mother (played by Nicole Kidman who's character is Grace Stewart) move's into a new house with her two children that aren't allowed to go outside during the day because they are alergic to the sun so all the windows and shutter's must be kept shut and the room must be lit by candles. The mother hires a Nanny, a Butler and a Cook whose behaviour appears strange. They have been hired to help with the children and the house work. A few days after they move in, spooky thing's start to happen around the house. The children start become scared of being left alone in a room. The Mother also starts becoming scared and therefore become protective over her children. At the end of the movie the mother realizes and remembers - when the children appear to survive in the sun - that she had killed herself along with her children. Finally the Father returns home.

Mise en Scene/Location:
The location of The Others is in one place that is a big old house in the middle of no where with a bit of greanary serownding it. In side the house it all wooden floors that creeck (make the house seem more spocky). The children wearing pirde clothing and the mother were's very neat and smart pirde clotheing. The lighiting is very dark in almost all the scene so most of the scene's are candle lit.


Genre: Drama, Thriller and Mystery
