The Plot: Angela (Emma Watson) accuses her
father of raping her during a Satanic Mass. A detective (Ethan Hawke) and a
psychologist (David Thewlis) try do discover the truth and who’s behind a
possible satanic cult.
The cast: Well, no one is specially good in
this one. Ethan Hawke is over-acting, Emma Watson plays her usual sly
personality and, as a kind of charlatan, David Thewlis doesn’t flee from his
previous characters. None of them convinced me.
The Movie: Alejandro Amenábar’s THE OTHERS is a
modern classic of the horror genre and the idea of having him deal with the
subject of the satanic cults craze of the late 70s/ early 80s, was very
appealing to me. Unfortunately, this is a boring thriller with few glimpses of
the supernatural, with no suspense at all and a highly predictable plot. By the
end, I got the idea that nothing interesting really happened and I just wished
that, at least, Amenábar had manage to give the movie a dread atmosphere. A big
disappointment!
My Rate: 2
