One of the scariest things in this movie is the idea that your trauma can follow you to the afterlife. She wonders out into the fog and finds her lost husband. She pulls his spirit home with her and with his kids, but he's trapped in the mind that he died in. Also, making a movie with a massive twist ending is a huge risk because so often the twist just ends up falling flat, but this is one of those movies where it actually works so well.

[@its99pm]

I don't think her husband knew he was dead, judging by his remark that "sometimes I bleed". It's possible that once he, too, makes the journey to understanding that he's died already (and the war is over), he might be able to come visit again in a clearer state of mind. His visit was likely fueled by a strong desire to say goodbye to his family before he died (a thought many soldiers in the trenches must have had, and he says he only came to say goodbye) combined with Grace's strong desire for him to come home. But neither of them had realized yet, so the visit was short and sort of muddled - especially his state of mind. I like to think he can come see them again, at least. And that the residents can all move around now that the fog has lifted. It'd be depressing af if you were bound to the location you died after death. Imagine those who drowned in the ocean? Or died alone in the wilderness, far from civilization? Plus, Bertha, Mr. Tuttle and Lydia can't have been the only ones to die on the property before Grace and her kids did. So... there ought to have been a few more ghosts around if they couldn't go anywhere. Anyway, I have a lot of thoughts about this movie as you can see. It's such a good film!

[@MrFredstt]

@@its99pmMy thoughts were he knew he was dead and came to the realization that his family were also dead. The "goodbye" part bc he knows he can't stay and his soul is being tugged back to where he died. Though, I much prefer your more happier theory that he will be able to come back at some point

Hannah's observation of how the living delt with Victor: we kinda got that when Kidman questioned the daughter about Victor. What scene gets freaky from the other perspective is the paino scene. He's down there playing his pia o in the middle of the night, when footsteps lead down to the room, then he stops playing, the door opens, and to HIM nobody is there. She checkes the creak in the door, but to him the door is moving on its own, so when we assume a spirit has slammed the door and knocked her over, he was just scared shitless and slammed the phantom door. Great movie. Great reaction. Thanks guys!

[@powerofberzerker9487]

Ash is right, the audience as well as Ash n Hannah were thinking that either the lil girl, the mother or all three of the family were dead. And they expected that reveal, but when it turned out that the servants are dead and then we get the photo and the graves, you take that as the big reveal and you no longer think that the family is dead as well. So, it comes as a second twist, and a bigger one at that, that you really don't expect much. Also, the whole film has an amazing atmosphere, with the fog and the curtains, so simple yet so effective at being creepy.

[@noeezyfluff]

And the subtle writing when the caretaker says, “we all need to learn to live together, the living and the dead.” It almost solidifies the fake twist because you think she’s referring to Nicole Kidman and her children but she’s actually referring to the family doing the seance as, ‘the living.’ 😂 this movie is really incredible

I have sympathy for Grace because if you go back through the film, there are a LOT of signs that she was suffering from some form of untreated mental illness - possibly bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder. Notice her bursts of manic energy (tearing the whole house apart in one long tirade), and her delusional episodes (denying that there are intruders despite having already experienced firsthand evidence), and her bouts of severe depression. It's very likely that she had been hanging on by a thread for a long time while she was alive, but then "went mad" and suffered a full psychotic break after the war ended and her husband never came home. And by her own description, she doesn't even have a clear memory of smothering her children - she only remembers finding the pillow in her hands afterwards. So despite her horrifying actions, I still feel bad, because she literally wasn't in control of her own mind at the time. She was unmedicated, grief-stricken, and almost completely alone.

[@micahmackinnon99]

I have sympathy for her because she had been un-living in denial for who knows how long before finally coming back to sanity after it's too late.

[@billparrish4385]

And her sanity returning after her death is further evidence that her psychosis while living was due to something structural or chemical in the brain, not necessarily emotional in origin. After she died, her thinking cleared since her spirit was no longer processing its thoughts through her flawed brain. She couldn't remember because those actions weren't from 'her', as in her 'software', they came from her broken 'hardware'. She had to die to become sane. Sad.

[@mamaseesa3122]

I love this movie - it’s so clever in the way its shot from the perspective of the ghost. Some really cool things to pick up the second time watching, after you know the twist; 1. The mother suffers migraines because she shot herself in the head 2. Anne’s hyperventilated breathing is because she was smothered with a pillow. Even the part where the mother says “stop breathing.” 3. I believe the scene where you questioned if Anne was sleeping, she was actually dead and the mother was having a memory of apologising after she killed her children 4. A give away that the servants are dead also, is that they’re not wearing clothes of the era. The movie was set in the 1940’s, but their clothes are from around the late 1800’s 5. The father reacts so strangely, because he knows he is dead from the war - he doesn’t know that his wife shot herself and killed her children while he was away, so he is shocked that he is able to communicate with them/that they’re dead. 6. The fog/haze throughout the movie clears when they realise they’re ghosts

I think the costuming needs a nod here because it's so delicately done. I'm such a freak about period costuming--I love picking up details in period movies and admiring the costumes, but in this film I didn't register the servants' clothes as "period." My brain registered it as an emphasis on class difference. "Oh, they're country folk, not as modern as this moneyed family. Simple clothes, humble, out of style. Got it." It is absolutely there to notice, but I didn't pick up on it, and I think that's down to great costuming.

Actually the fog didn't go away, if you pay close atention when Anne is dancing in the sun light the fog is still there, it is part of the realm of the dead, the fog only "went away" when the POV shifted to the living characters in the end, but for the dead characters their world is with that eternal haze/fog.

The dad died in the war. I think it's a main reason the mother went crazy, or at least pushed her over the edge. He has his own prison in a never ending war. At first I thought his love and desire to see his wife and kids was so strong that he was able to be there for a while to say goodbye, but now I think that her need to see him was so strong that she pulled him from his own afterlife through the fog into hers. That's why he seemed so distant and confused, only being held there for a short while, and the ghost of the housekeeper seemed so surprised to see him. In the movie's reality, I'm guessing most ghosts never get out of their limited afterlife, even for just a little bit, although who knows if eventually they move on or if they trap themselves forever. I think she trapped her children with her also, not able to let them go. It reminds me of an old twilight zone episode where the dead crew of a crashed spaceship were trapped repeating their last few hours over and over because the captain just couldn't admit to being dead and let go.

A book of the dead was a real thing. Photographs were not so common and easy to come by back then and an expert had to come around with equipment.

[@captbunnykiller1.0]

@@cottonxcandyxjollyxrancher not for most of the common folks, it was not. you had to go into a studio or order a photographer to come to the site with their equipment, which was more expensive. people needed a good reason to have their pictures taken, for celebrations or to have a memento made, and prepare for the occasion. private non-commercial usage of cameras only became a thing when affordable handheld devices were introduced to the public which was not until shortly before WW1. Most of the cameras used before that were owned for professional reasons or by rich people with a hobby.

[@clarerichardson8770]

Absolutely. It's also worth noting that Victorians had incredibly elaborate rituals surrounding mourning and laying the dead to rest. A lot of those customs seem absolutely bonkers and incredibly macabre to modern senses, like predetermined periods of mourning, photographs of the dead, hair jewelry, etc. They were connected with their dead in a way we don't think is appropriate now, in our culture that has become so sanitized and alienated from death. It's all fascinating once you dive in, but it's presented in such a delicate, spooky way here. I love it.

@@clarerichardson8770 Indeed fascinating, thanks for the comment. The hair jewelry topic comes up a lot in Lord of the Rings discussions, because many think it is creepy that Gimli asks for Galadriel's hair. But to Tolkien it must have been a thing of nostalgia dressed in fantasy motifs, hairs and locks were often given as a memento to loved ones when chances were slim that there would be another meeting. Another interesting tradition was the cemetery picnics held in those days, quite popular with the Irish I have heard and rather controversial nowadays.

- Grace's scream right at the beginning is not an ordinary nightmare. It's the realisation of what she has done to her children and herself. - Nicole Kidman wanted to quit during rehearsals, as playing Grace gave her nightmares. "At one point I didn't want to make the film because I couldn't even go there emotionally." - When the wandering Charles arrives home escorted by Grace, he meets Mrs. Mills, later revealed to be another person among the dead. When he approaches Grace in the fog and as he enters the room to greet his children, Charles' footsteps produce a sound not unlike the clanking of chains - which Anne had previously mentioned is a tell-tale trait of ghosts. - In the scene where Grace is loading the shotgun for the first time, she can be seen pausing in a recollective moment after she slams the breach shut. This is most likely due to her faint realization of deja vu, most likely alluding to her suicide by using the same gun - When Mrs. Mills and Mr. Tuttle are covering up the three gravestones, a Celtic cross can be seen emerging from one of them. The Celtic cross is a version of the Christian cross that is particularly common in Ireland. Mrs. Mills speaks with an Irish accent. This is a subtle clue that the gravestone is actually hers. - The extra white makeup of the children's faces is a hint of the movie's twist.

[@jeaneb]

btw, the living mother who was upset was young catelyn stark!

[@NF40375]

Stunning 🤩

[@RogueMarch]

The Stevie Wonder had me rolling all the way in Mexico! I freaking love you two!

[@justtrustash]

We love you more you legend ❤️

[@lukeyread]

I remember watching this movie at a sleepover when I was about 13. It creeped us out so much. But it hasn’t lost its magic. Still so delightfully creepy even now!

[@ct5625]

Misdirection is one of the best tools in writing. Feed the audience just enough to convince them they've got it worked out, then flip the script :)

[@coreyhendricks9490]

This movie ranked at #83 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo, cool reaction as always Ash & Hannah, you both take care

[@amrys_argent]

My favorite movie to watch people see for the first time. You guys did well! Probably came the closest to putting the whole thing together before the reveal that I've seen.

[@hjd9748]

Bro the stevie wonder bit had me absolutely dying with laughter 🤣😂😭

[@lonerebeI]

So glad y'all reacted to this one! I've always loved this movie since young. The story, acting and that twist. Sooo good (kudos to Ash for calling it)

[@mal-nx6xs]

You two always give me the reactions that I hope for!.😂❤🎉

[@justtrustash]

That is such a great compliment mate, thank you ❤️

[@Me-wk3ix]

Thank you for this reaction! I love watching your videos, you two always make me smile. You're both so much fun!

The three housekeepers were the first to die there due to a tuberculosis outbreak; therefore, they can’t leave. Grace and the children died in a murder-suicide caused by Grace under duress due to her husband’s absence for the war. Charles, who died in the war, was a restless soul trying to find his way home. Through the fog and with Grace’s connection, he was able to return home to say goodbye as his final resolution. This allowed him to move on from limbo, where Grace, her children, and the servants are stuck.

[@mamaseesa3122]

But Grace and the kids elected to stay. That's why they were chanting 'the house is ours' at the end, so they wouldn't leave.

[@Mangolite]

@@mamaseesa3122 In Dante’s Inferno, there are nine levels of Hell, with Limbo being the first and having the least severe punishment-those condemned to Limbo will forever roam the Earthly plane. Grace committed self-deletion with her children in tow, a form of violence. According to the typical punishments outlined in the poem, she should have been turned into a thorny tree with harpies feeding on her leaves. However, in the film, because of her children, they are considered her ‘saving grace.’ They cannot leave without her because of their love for her, and she cannot leave due to her actions. Consequently, they find themselves stuck in Limbo.

[@jeanbastien9424]

Watched this in English class in high school and thought it was boring because it didn’t have jump scares. Now looking back I see how brilliant it was.

[@Dazgerrard]

The Mother was completely lost when her Husband never returned home from the war. As a single parent she lost her mind and couldn’t bare for her children to be left alone, so she took them with her. Incredible movie. Still hasn’t lost its impact all these years later. So glad you enjoyed it.

[@lonerebeI]

Selfish, sick woman

[@DSGodiva]

This movie is just fantastic. Talk about a brilliant atmosphere! One of my favorite little "clues" upon rewatching it is when the mom picks up the shotgun. She has this little pause, like 'huh.' It's like she had this tiny little trace of a memory of shooting herself, but didn't remember it fully.

[@WastedPo]

Guys, I'm begging you. Please get a pair of earbuds for each of you. You're each missing half the sound mix: The direction of the audio, half the music score, even some bits of dialogue. Edit: That said, I'm thrilled that you're watching this. It's literally one of my favorite movies of all time. Even knowing how it goes doesn't prevent me from enjoying it. The cinematography, pacing and acting are all immaculate. I love that you loved it.

[@Psichotica7]

Lol, them sharing earbuds has bugged me for the longest time but I just never said anything. I'm hoping that they have the sound split evenly (I think it's called stereo mode). It hasn't appeared to affect their ability to understand and enjoy the films at least. But reactors always have less then favorable viewing conditions, starting with having to watch a film with a bright ring light in their face the whole time. I would hate that for myself, lol. Especially for horror.

[@Psichotica7]

Whoops, it's called "mono" not "stereo".

[@lordnmaster2]

This was not an annoying reaction. This was one of the best reactions to this movie I've ever seen.

[@anthonyfranco88]

I love you two. These are getting better and better.

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

I love this film so much. Not only is it a brilliantly written, atmospheric period piece, it’s nothing but superb performances and the way it’s shot is just exquisite. And it’s also a very factual film. Ghosts? Often very confused. 😂🤣

[@greenpeasuit]

"Sometimes I bleed" just passes right by people. He flat out says it and it goes unacknowledged. I think the husband had finally accepted his death after being lost in war for however long. Upon this acceptance, his only unfinished business was wanting to see his family once more. However, when he returned, he knew on some level they, too, were dead. He did not find the joy he had hoped for in seeing them. He decided to move on.

[@PowerfulVillain]

Highly underrated movie. I remember the first time I watched this, I knew this was literally the best in terms of logic if there's any in a ghost movie at all lol.

[@TrentRushton]

I think this is one of the best twists ever done.

[@berndgeels]

You two have such great chemistry. I love watching you both play off each other in your reaction videos. Ash obsesses over symbolism in movies and Hannah struggles sometimes not to gag when there is gore. I love it!

[@kalzyoung]

33:02 I bet she wouldn’t say that if it were Ned Starks ghost 🤣

[@Troybeard]

Hey Hannah, the lady at the table near the end (with the living people) is Catelyn Stark

[@FraanBender]

Someone in their Patreon please suggest them to watch THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@SammieCooper-yj4qv]

I second this!!

[@charlesmartinjr3971]

The brilliance of this movie is that you spend the entire film afraid you're about to see a ghost, and you're actually watching ghosts the entire time.

[@no127]

That was pretty much the same in ‘The sixth sense’. I would say interesting part of this movie is that both the living and the dead are haunting each other without either of them knowing it!😂

[@momakesvids5704]

i love hannah so much “act like you like me” “i cant fake it anymore” 😂😂😂

[@nicholasrue7397]

Catechism is definitely some scary stuff. I saw this movie in the theater three times. It's such a good ghost story. The condition the children have is called Xeroderma pigmentosum. It is extremely rare, but it does happen.

[@vpuik]

One of the greatest ghost movies of all time!

[@DeltaSixDJ]

One of my favourite movies, thank you for reacting to it - and yes it's full of symbolisms :) The movie is ultimately about the effects of war - the family was torn apart by the father not returning from war. They live in 'limbo' (between the worlds of the living and the dead) as they never had resolution and remained hoping for his return. The effects of the war and the isolation led to Grace having a breakdown (potentially when receiving news of her husband's death, which she supresses and 'locks away' like the many locked rooms in the house) and committing a murder-suicide, presumably believing they will all be together in the afterlife. The servants truly are there to help guide the family to acceptance of their situation, and watching the film again with that in mind puts a lot of interactions in a different perspective. The sad part of the ending is that the father is never able to return - he died in war, far from home and though he tried he is a lost soul forever :( One of my favourite shots is the one where it looks like the servants are about to pass through the door - brilliant use of light and camera and it's a chilling effect, and yet the laws still apply as the servants and Grace share the same dimension - both dead :)

[@ferntim]

You guys would love The Orphanage

[@Psichotica7]

Was just thinking that after seeing this. That's one of the darkest films I've ever seen.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

I used to have a sun allergy. Over 20 minutes of indirect sunlight, and I would blister. It's called PMLE. I was excited seeing this as a kid.

[@elliebelliewatermellie155]

This is one of my favorites Old and a classic 💜 Thank you for this Please add The Uninvited to your list if you haven’t already 🥰

[@Jazmin881]

Yes, I love the Uninvited

[@diamondglazedetailing6579]

Love this! The skelton key would be a great reaction guys!

[@jessm.porthos]

We need a “daddy chill” counter for the use of that throughout all videos lol

[@tomlewis7898]

I loved the twist at the end of this when I saw it in the cinema, was great to see ash enjoying it so much, pretty much my reaction

[@bluegypsy71]

Oooooo…this is a great movie often overlooked by most reactors, glad you found it❤👏🏼

[@duluxdog71]

I remember going to the cinema and everyone gasped together when we found out the family were ghosts..goosebump city..❤❤❤.

[@ceebee2]

Please watch Society of the Snow! It’s up for an Oscar and an unbelievable true story.

[@qwertdasdf4378]

If you love movies with a plot twist you should definitely check out the skeleton key

[@zotharr]

I was thinking the same, when Ash mentioned salt xD Such an unique movie, though :)

[@Prkwon]

This movie was for me right up there with sixth sense

[@jessrosefawkes2721]

Listen I understand as a human perceptive it’s sick, the mum killing the kids and their dead etc etc. but now their spirits, they need to let go of these human emotions and live as spirits. Now their unfinished business is finished, they need to ‘live’ as spirits and set emotions aside,. I can’t explain it. I’m a spiritualist and an actual medium, it’s hard to explain but it makes sense xx

[@skinheadjon901]

R.I.P. English comedy legend Eric Sykes. (Mr. Tuttle). Nicole Kidman should have got an Oscar for her performance in this film. I've been looking forward to your reaction to this & you didn't disappoint. I keep thinking you both live in Dagenham by the way you speak !!! 🤔🌞🤩🙌👍

[@ACinemafanatic]

Oh wow this movie freaked me out as a kid “I am your daughter !”

[@stormy2184]

As epic as the sixth sense twist...just amazingly unexpected. Loved the reaction guys!❤

[@louielouie22]

What a well made movie. It's so underrated.

[@radosawtomaszsum8182]

I've enjoyed all of your reactions so far! They're really good. You add so much to those films. The whole drama and growing scary mood in this one together with your face expressions and emotions - splendid! 😎 Great job! 👏👏👏

[@toschememestation1031]

Usually not my cup of tea, but when i saw a couple min of the movie, zapping truth TV, I was so hooked, that I just had to know,what happen at the climax This 🎞 does his job

[@LewisGirls]

I need to watch the full movie. It looks really good!

[@hughjorg4008]

Writer and director of THE OTHERS also wrote Abre Los Ojos and sold the rights to Tom Cruise to remake it as *VANILLA SKY* (2001 film). Maybe Ash and Hannah would like to react to VANILLA SKY. 👍

[@DanielGarrett0123]

06:47 The beautiful red-haired lady figured the whole movie out! GENIUS. 💗

[@user-vh3ug5sw1e]

Here are some of my fave horror/thriller movies yall HAVE to watch: Dead Silence (2007) The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) House of Wax (2005) The Boy (2016) The Uninvited (2009) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) The Strangers (2008) Wrong Turn (2003) The Visit (2015) Don’t Breathe (2016) Disturbia (2007) Barbarian (2022) Plus sooooo many more!!!!

[@lonerebeI]

Too bad they only upload like 2-3 horrors per year

[@BK-eo5bb]

Yaaaaaaay!! I was so excited to see you guys put up a reaction to this! This movie is one of my favorites to look for first reactions for because of the twist, but since it's lesser-known and not part of a franchise there are fewer reactions to this than to a lot of other films. Thanks for finally doing this one, and your reaction did not disappoint!
