Are you ready to hide from the light? This week, we’re closing the curtains and lighting a candle for Alejandro Amenábar’s gothic masterpiece THE OTHERS.

We discuss Nicole Kidman’s powerhouse performance as the high-strung Grace Stewart, the film’s masterful cinematography, its "twist" and how it compares to that of a much more famous contemporary, THE SIXTH SENSE.

In our bonus feature segment, we dive more into plot twists and their history in cinema, and talk about ones we enjoyed and ones we didn't as much. (It'll surprise you, I'm sure, that this opened the door for more US slander from Slate.)

Finally, we answer "does THE OTHERS matter in 2026?" Does this ghost story still have the power to haunt us? Listen to find out!
