Award-winning thriller
The 2001 horror-mystery feature The Others followed the story of Grace, played by Nicole Kidman, and her two children – both extremely sensitive to light – who move into a new house in Jersey.
While waiting for her husband to return from WWII, Grace becomes convinced her new home is haunted. The part earned Nicole a Golden Globe and BAFTA nomination for Best Actress.
