The Others ****
USA/Spain: Alejandro Amenábar, 2001
Brilliant supernatural horror with a wonderful atmosphere, stunning photography and a great performance by Nicole Kidman. Only the rather hammy performances of the two actors playing the children let this great movie down. Add to that a fantastic twist ending which I must say I never saw coming.

Saw **½
USA: James Wan, 2004
Inconsistent and at times clumsy piece of horror, filled with bad acting, bad camerawork and awful MTV-style editing, this movie has garnered a lot of attention and praise, but in my opinion it is unfounded. Even more bafflingly, some have claimed that it is reminiscent of Dario Argento's earlier work, a comparison that would be insulting if it wasn't so ludicrous. If you want a good modern horror movie, go watch Haute Tension. Saw has its moments, but they are few and far between and the end result is about as generic as they come.
