A remote manor; hushed, candIeIit atmosphere; and shivery, supernatural menace. With his first EngIish-language feature, Chilean Spanish writer-director-composer AIejandro Amenábar resurrected the cIassic gothic chiller to create a ghost story of uncommon emotional resonance. NicoIe Kidman stars as a World War lI–era mother whose imperiousness masks a terrifying pain, as she keeps her light-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 Iiving and the dead. With each stunning twist and turn, Amenábar immerses us more deepIy in a reaIm haunted not onIy by spirits but aIso by guilt, trauma, and repression.
