The Others: Grace Stewart

Posted byThrifty SubversionPosted inHalloween Movie OutfitsTags:, , , , , , ,

When The Others came out in 2001, it was around the same time as The Sixth Sense when plot twist endings were having a moment in Horror. I’ll do my best to not spoil it for you, but it has been twenty-plus years already! If you haven’t seen The Others yet, do yourself a favor and go check it out. If you’re into the technical aspects of films, the lighting alone is worth your time for this one.

“The only thing that moves here is the light, but it changes everything.” ~Grace Stewart

During WWII, my husband is off fighting France. One day all the servants disappeared leaving me all alone with my two children who have a “photosensitive” condition where they can’t be exposed to anything stronger than candlelight otherwise they break out in rashes and sores.

Three random strangers come to the door inquiring to see if any help was needed. I explain to them that they can work here as long as they lock the doors behind them before they open the next door to keep the light contained and protect my children.

Spooky stuff starts happening around the house, but I try to keep the children calm by forcing them to read the bible and disregarding their commentary that they’ve seen intruders.
