"The Others" is a 2001 Spanish-American supernatural gothic horror film with elements of psychological horror. It was written, directed, and scored by Alejandro Amenábar. It stars Nicole Kidman and Fionnula Flanagan.

Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) is a devout Roman Catholic mother who lives with her two young children in a remote country house in the British Crown Dependency of Jersey, The Channel Islands in the immediate aftermath of World War II. The year is 1945. The children, Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley), have an uncommon disease, Xeroderma Pigmentosum characterized by photosensitivity, so their lives are structured around a series of complex rules to protect them from inadvertent exposure to sunlight.

It is revealed that the children were killed by their mother by being smothered by a pillow (i.e. the day 'mummy went mad'). The children find they are no longer photosensitive (as they are no longer living), and for the first time, they can enjoy playing in the sunlight. Although the property is put up for sale, Grace and the children are firm that "this house is ours," and "no one can make us leave this house."

The Others was released August 10, 2001 in 1,678 theaters in the United States and Canada and grossed $14 million its opening weekend, ranking fourth at the box office. It stayed in fourth for three more weeks, expanding to more theaters.
