The Others

And so she was still kinda like Tom Cruise's pretty girlfriend who acts, you know what I mean? Like, that's who she was.

It was before The Others and before that stretch in the 2000s where she became Nicole Kidman.

And now Sandra Bullock has kind of been coasting, so it's interesting to see [laughs] how their careers are completely different now.

And it, you can tell 'cause Sandra Bullock is, like, really terrible in this movie.

I think he's a terrific director, yeah.

My favorite Nicole Kidman movie is The Others.

Wow.

[laughs]

Yeah.

And then my favorite Sandra Bullock movie-

When did you watch The Others?

When I was, like, eight.

And then just did all I could to forget that thing, which then I could never forget.

I think my big spoiler I did to myself, and I was watching alone at home at night, the Nicole Kidman movie, The Others, which is a ghost story.

And I was so freaked out in the middle of that movie, I paused it, went upstairs, because this was in the day when you had one computer and it wasn't connected to the internet all the time.

i looked up the ending of the movie and then knowing what was going to happen went down and watched the rest of it because i was that i don't know that that movie gets enough credit that is a spooky spooky movie and i spoiled it for myself and i'm glad i did to this day

I love it.

hey everybody um clearly we're talking about 2001 2001's um nicole kidman fucking movie we were talking about uh well it's called the others by the way and the second thing is you know god this is like peak nicole kidman she was like in a lot

she was on fire in the early 2000s for sure

Good for her.

It was pretty stacked, that Golden Globe that year.

It's wild because she was nominated for both drama and also for musical and comedy.

Drama, of course, for The Others, which she lost, to Sissy Spacek for In the Bedroom.

I haven't seen a view.

That child was actually Charles who went off to war.

Today, on the first installment of Spectacular Frights, we're discussing our essential pick, The Others from 2001, a movie that takes the plot twist of Scream and The Sixth Sense and makes them kiss.

I will explain that later, but before that, let's go see where this lands on the Nightmare Index.

I should probably get my letterbox.

So you have to let me know next episode.

But let's go on to the body count here.

All right, so this is The Others from 2001, released on August 10th of that year in the U.S.

Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and frightening moments.

So why don't you name me name your three best shots from from Vampire Hunter that aren't from the horse stampede and we'll call it a deal.

I think the best example of candlelit movie that I know is the movie called The Others with Nicole Kidman.

I think that's like if you watch that movie.

That's bold

choice because I thought you were going to give me the film school Barry Lyndon.

No, no.

This was if you watch that movie The Others with Nicole Kidman.

Beautifully lit.

And I

haven't even watched the others.

See? I already fixed it.

We should do a live stream of that so I can watch that with you.

This is more realistic.

I'd probably watch Hell House, the first one, more.

I like the second one, too, but I didn't like really the others.

So far, I've only watched one and two on this one.
