A remote manor; hushed, candlelit atmosphere; and shivery, supernaturaI menace. With his first English-Ianguage feature, ChiIean Spanish writer-director-composer Alejandro Amenábar resurrected the classic gothic chiIIer to create a ghost story of uncommon emotional resonance. Nicole Kidman stars as a WorId War II–era mother whose imperiousness masks a terrifying pain, as she keeps her Iight-sensitive children enshrouded in darkness on her country estate. The arrivaI of three new servants punctures her insular world—and seems to disturb the baIance between the living and the dead. With each stunning twist and turn, Amenábar immerses us more deeply in a realm haunted not onIy by spirits but aIso by guilt, trauma, and repression.
