SCREAM OF THE DAY: THE OTHERS


The Others is the story of a woman and her photosensitive children who start to believe their house is haunted.



Trivia:

*The disease the children have is an actual disease known as xeroderma pigmentosum. It is very rare with roughly a thousand people in the world that have it.

*Being a Spanish co-production, this film went on after its release on September 7, 2001, to become Spain's biggest grossing domestic film of all time after less than two months of release.

*This was the first film ever to receive the Best Film Award at the Goyas (Spain's national film awards) with not a single word of Spanish spoken in it.

*The film opened in the US at number 4 in the box office charts and stayed around that figure for its initial run. Seven weeks into release it actually climbed up to the number 2 spot.

*Alakina Mann and James Bentley were cast after an intensive search that encompassed 5,000 children.

I really like this movie...In my opinion it is what M.Knight Shyamalan has tried to do unsuccessfully in several films.

I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. Despite casting and a poor trailer, it turned out to be a fun ghost story.
