From the Paper:

"Both Alejandro Amenabar's 'The Others' and Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw' are hauntingly beautiful pieces, each exquisitely executed in its separate genre - the former a film released in 2001, the latter a novella published in 1908. They are both haunting in both senses of the word - they deal with the subject matter of haunting, and they remain to haunt the viewer or reader for a long time after. Both do this subtly and cleverly, letting the horror build in the viewer's or the reader's mind, rather than simply throwing buckets of blood on the screen or page. "
