Customer Reviews: Cracking Psychological Horror..... May 5, 2006 Mr. P. Birtwistle (Clitheroe) 12 out of 12 found this review helpful THE OTHER is a cracking, and really rather scary early 70's horror film, one that concentrates on the cerebral rather than the visceral, and is all the better for it. The story of strange goings on around a Connecticut farm in the 1930's, this film makes full use of its twin stars the Udvarnoky brothers to build up the tension throughout its 96 minute length. br / German actress Uta Hagen is superb as their Grandmother, teaching them to play a very spooky supernatural game of possession, and trying to make things right when necessary. I'd heard of the film, but never seen it, and I can only say it scared the whatsits out of me big time. If the film was made now it would probably have a king size special effects budget, lashings of guts and gore, and nowhere near the tension that palpably oozes off the screen. br / Short on extras, but this film comes from an age when every cinema entry WASN'T covered by a host of documentary film crews, so one must make do with what is around, and the shooting script and music cue sheets are fascinating in themselves. br / The only criticism I can make is the low certification given to the film. When originally released it was an X, and I now feel it should be a 15, not the 12 handed out. That of course is a personal opinion, but I would vet the film before showing it to a 12 year old personally. br / A chill down the spine October 12, 2009 Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett (Dracula's Crypt) !!!Warning. May contain spoilers!!! br / br /Twin brothers Holland and Niles Perry(played by Chris and Martin Udvarnoky) are enjoying the summer holidays, playing tricks on family and neighbours and getting into trouble like boys of their age usually do. However, Holland is only happy skulking in the shadows and also shows a malicious streak. Niles ia almost scared of him, and what he is capable of. People who cross Holland in any way start to end up dead, and Niles is getting the blame. Niles does have one strong ally in his Grandmother, who plays supernatural games with him, encouraging him to think outside his body, and to maximise the potential of his mind. Holland likes these games too, but to what ends..... br /This is a film I read a lot about when I was younger, generally reviews praising it to the hilt. Well, after finally getting to watch it, I can honestly say, as a jaded and seasoned watcher of horror films, that this film is up there with the very best of them. The film plays a clever, cruel trick with the viewer, raising the supernatural aspect of the story, seemingly dismissing it halfway through, only to chill the viewer with an final image that can only be described as bloodcurdling. This film has been compared to 'The Exorcist','The Omen' and 'The Shining'. In my opinion, it surpasses all of them, for using such a seemingly calm, normal situation and injecting such tension and horror into it. The young actors are excellent, but it is German actress Uta Hagen who delivers the best performance as Ada, the Grandmother. The direction is superb, gradually building up the subtle scares until jolting the viewer with that aforementioned killer ending. br /A wonderful film, dont miss a chance to buy it, and judge for yourselves. 5 out of 5.(the extras are okay, but some are only available to view on a PC, as they are in PDF format)
