I also saw "The Others". It's a lot like Sixth Sense, only without the being really boring aspect. Still fairly predictable (though I only predicted half the twist), and full of pleasing bits of dialogue, such as "the curtains my childrens' lives depend upon", or, a more lengthy extract, "I don't believe God made the world in seven days, I don't believe Noah got all those animals on one boat, and I don't believe the holy ghost is a dove." "I don't believe those things either." "Doves aren't holy." "They do droppings on our windows."
The whole thing produces a far superior atmosphere of spooky wrongness than any other movie I can think of with the possible exception of Cemetery Man.
All this movie-watching brought to you courtesy of my feeling under the weather recently.
