Horror film with ‘greatest twist of all time' now available to stream
If you're a horror fan who gets a kick out of a good twist, this 2000s Nicole Kidman film is right up your street. Starring Oscar-winning Australian-American actress Kidman, 58, in the lead role of Grace, The Others is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, following a woman living on a family estate in the Channel Islands with her two photosensitive children. Set during World War II, Grace is awaiting news on her missing husband while attempting to protect her children from harm by the sun due to their rare disease. Things take a sinister turn, however, when Grace's mother, Anne (Alakina Mann), claims she is seeing ghosts, and while Grace initially brushes the spookiness off as their staff playing tricks, she soon comes to realise something far more menacing is at play. The 2001 supernatural flick is famous for its huge plot twist, which viewers have long branded one of the best in cinema. Thanks to its cast's performances and gripping story, The Others was a box office smash, grossing $210million (£182m) worldwide on a $17m (14.7m) budget. It was lauded by critics, earning 15 nominations and eight wins at the 16th Goya Awards, and becoming the first English-language film without a word of Spanish dialogue to triumph in the best film category at Spain's Goya Awards. Kidman was also recognised in other best actress categories for her role, including at the Golden Globes. Ultimately, the Alejandro Amenábar-directed horror is highly regarded as not just one of the 2000s' best movies but, for many, the greatest horror ever made. As for what fans have had to say, The Others, which was shot in northern Spain, has a respectable 77% audience score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, as well as 84% from critics. Among the 250,000+ reviews, user Ry H branded it with 4.5 stars as recently as July 2025, writing: 'My favorite horror movie ever with one of the biggest twists that I never saw coming.' 'The Others lives up to the unpredictability hype, you can't guess what's happening. The characters are incredibly well-written. Their decisions, the plot makes sense until everything gets a new meaning', writes Mate P. 'Has to be the best suspense movie of all time, period. The acting and filming are fantastic', echoes Josh K. Julian S agrees: 'THE OTHERS finds Kidman at her most mesmerizing, carrying a chilling slow-burn thriller that builds to a twist so sharp, it leaves you breathless.' 'This one still holds up as one of the great supernatural thrillers. Great twist, wonderful acting, especially by the children', pens Jason W. Others praise the fright flick for its ability to build tension and create a dread-filled atmosphere, with many compelled to watch for a second time after the twist is uncovered, forcing them to rethink everything they thought they knew. More Trending The Others is one of many of Kidman's projects in the horror and thriller genres, as she's also had roles in The Invasion (2007), Before I Go to Sleep (2014), and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), to name a few. She recently starred in 2025's Holland, alongside Matthew Macfadyen and Gael García Bernal, playing a mother who, upon unearthing her husband's infidelity, discovers her picture-perfect life was full of secrets. Of course, Kidman also famously plays the lead in Nine Perfect Strangers, a thriller drama series that recently dropped a second season. The Others is available to stream now on Amazon Prime Video.

Princess, alongside her dad and her brother Junior, 20, was getting ready to go to a Mission Impossible premiere and she said said: "All boys need to do is scruff up their hair a bit and put a suit on. It's not that hard!" But things took a dramatic turn when Princess candidly admitted that the appearance had come at her time of the month. as she told the cameras: "This is not good! I feel like it's a huge pressure to look perfect at these glamorous events, there are paps there, and anything little thing that's wrong, people point it out and there's loads of comments about it. So that's dodgy nails, and I'm on my period, but apart from that, I'm read carpet ready!" It was a race against time on the way to get to the event as Princess complained about cramps and had to stop at a hotel to rush in and use their bathroom. And in a confessional, she told viewers: "She said: "This is honestly the worst nightmare. Girls, you know exactly what I'm on about. You're wearing a nice dress, you're going to an event or a special event and you've just leaked. Yeah, the panic is real." It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row. As the scenes unfolded, Princess managed to get out of the car and to a bathroom just in time, but admitted amid all the tension:" "This is really disastrous. What if it's actually gone through my dress? I don't even think I can even stand up! Oh no! Has it leaked through, dad?!" Just before heading into the glamorous event, Princess breathed a sigh of relief and she said: "Oooh, panic over, don't worry. I'm all good. My dress is fine." The moment did not go unnoticed by fans, and one rushed to X to praise the budding reality star for speaking out over the issue. They wrote on the social media platform: "Hats off to Princess Andre for talking about her periods in her reality show. Her life might not be normal but she is normalising something that usually carries stigma and shame." During the programme, Princess featured heavily alongside her brother and fans also praised the relationship between the siblings. as one wrote: "I'm not a fan of Katie Price & Peter Andre, but they really did make the most beautiful kids in Junior & Princess", and a a third user said: "Watching The Princess Diaries on ITV. Loving the sibling relationship between Junior and Princess." Katie did actually make an appearance in the first episode of the programme, but was heard only on the other end of a voice note. Princess had to asked her mother about what she was like as a child and Katie replied: "Who was the naughtiest child? Well, you was a mummy's girl so you used to push me more and probably get away with things so I'd say you was more naughty actually. You are still very much like me but different if that makes sense, you are more sensible. "So yeah, the answer to your question is that I think you were naughty. You naughty girl! before Princess admitted in a confessional: "Me and my mum are so close. We're more like best friends, we'll tell each other anything." Katie recently said she was "very, very upset" that Princess' career was being managed by her ex-husband Peter Andre's management and says she's being left out. She also said she won't be watching the reality show, which she isn't a part of. The mum-of-five said she was banned from her daughter's 18th birthday party and that her former management team – who look after Mysterious Girl singer Peter, 52, and Princess – did not want her on the show as they considered her 'trash'. Speaking on her podcast, Katie claimed: 'Princess was like 'I'm having a party'. And I wasn't invited because it was for 'filming'.' "But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age." The first episode also saw Princess exploring ideas for her makeup business as she attempted to build a brand of her own. She told viewers in a confessional: "I am gonna take on the challenge because this is something that I really, really want so I've got to work, work work."
