Plot Summary ποΈπ«οΈ
Set in post-World War II England, The Others follows Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman), a deeply religious woman raising her two children, Anne and Nicholas, in a secluded mansion on the Jersey Channel Islands. The children suffer from a rare condition that makes them extremely sensitive to light, forcing Grace to enforce strict rulesβkeeping curtains closed at all times and never allowing doors to be opened simultaneously.
As Grace hires three mysterious servants, eerie and inexplicable events begin to unfold. Anne insists that she sees a ghostly boy named Victor, whispers echo through the halls, and the presence of unseen forces grows stronger. As paranoia escalates, Grace is determined to protect her family, even as reality begins to unravel in terrifying ways.
The film builds to a shocking twist ending that completely redefines everything the audience believedβan unforgettable revelation that places The Others among the greatest psychological horror films of all time.
