While the 2001 Gothic horror movie is as emotional as it is gripping, and the ending of The Others explained that the ghost story’s true themes are grief and regret. Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) and her two children, Nicholas (James Bentley) and Anne (Alakina Mann) live in a beautiful old home in Jersey after their husband and father died in World War II. Instead of solely relying on jump scares, The Others’ supernatural story leans on Kidman’s powerful performance as a mother doing her best to protect her children from ghosts in their house.
