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.

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)
