It's thought-provoking. It leaves you with anxiety long after it's over. It's also one of those rare films that uses all of those to its effect- that is, magnificently. A real triumph for Robert Mulligan.

The Other is a movie with a twist, but it is an obvious twist that you can plainly see from the beginning. It makes up for the obvious by making a very atmospheric movie. It creeped me out when I was young.

For the longest time, this was my all time favorite movie. It kept me in suspense till the very end the first time I watched it. I thought it was very cleverly done.

Very subtle, quiet horror film. I remember seeing it first back when I was a kid, probably in the late 70's or early 80's--had an impact on me as I, myself, am a twin.

I remember seeing it first back when I was a kid, probably in the late 70's or early 80's--had an impact on me as I, myself, am a twin. Although I'm happy to see it available on DVD after all these years, the marketing (e.g. packaging) ruins the twist, while the back liner notes give it away as well.

Brilliantly creepy, lesser-known Robert Mulligan [To Kill A Mockingbird] film....amazingly gothic atmosphere, great performances - remember seeing this as a young teen and being very haunted

The movie isn't scary in the usual horror-film way, but because Niles is such a creep - the kind of kid who would pull the wings off a fly and then claim the big boys made him (and get them in trouble, and go out looking for more flies).

Sometimes you just really shouldn't go back and revisit what you remember as a great movie of your childhood.

There are a couple of legitimately creepy scenes; however, the "twist" seems awkward and it's about 20 minutes too long.

This was a very creepy film. It's horror without the blood and gore, and without the cheap fake scares (no cats jumping out of closets). Yes, in this day and age, the twist is easily figured out early on, but the performance were very compelling. ... (read more) This was a very creepy film.

I took one star off for figuring out the twist so soon and for a couple unanswered questions at the end.
