The Others 小島驚魂
The film is set in the British Crown Dependency of Jersey, in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) is a Catholic mother who lives with her two small children in a remote country house. The children, Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley), have an uncommon disease characterized by photosensitivity (a special feature on the DVD indicates the disease is xeroderma pigmentosum), so their lives are structured around a series of complex rules designed to protect them from inadvertent exposure to sunlight.
The new arrival of three servants at the house—an aging nanny and servant named Mrs. Bertha Mills (Fionnula Flanagan), an elderly gardener named Mr. Edmund Tuttle (Eric Sykes), and a young mute girl named Lydia (Elaine Cassidy)—coincides with a number of odd events, and Grace begins to fear that they are not alone. Anne draws pictures of four people: a man, a woman, a boy called Victor, and a scary old woman, all of whom she says she has seen in the house.
二戰結束,格蕾絲(尼科爾•基德曼)在英倫的小島上獨自撫養著一對兒女 ,耐心等待著丈夫從戰場歸來。兒女怕光,受到光照會發病,因此家里的窗簾常年拉得嚴嚴實實。就在這樣一間陰暗的古宅里,格蕾絲迎來了三個新仆人。這三個人到來之后 ,卻讓格蕾絲寒了心——窗簾經常被拉開,門無故打開,鋼琴自動發聲,而她的女兒說,在房間里經常可以見到陌生男人。格蕾絲陷入了精神緊張的狀態,她不明白怪事為何屢屢發生,不明白丈夫為何遲遲未歸。而她最后才醒悟,所有的驚恐,其實都來源自身,但是事情已經不可逆轉……
推薦理由:結局耐人尋味,以為被鬼纏身卻發現一切恐懼源于自身。
