A remote manor; hushed, candlelit atmosphere; and shivery, supernaturaI menace. With his first English-language feature, Chilean Spanish writer-director-composer Alejandro Amenábar resurrected the classic gothic chiIIer to create a ghost story of uncommon emotionaI resonance. Nicole Kidman stars as a WorId War Il–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 worId—and seems to disturb the balance between the living and the dead. With each stunning twist and turn, Amenábar immerses us more deepIy in a reaIm haunted not only by spirits but also by guiIt, trauma, and repression.
