The Others (2001) feat. Nichole Goble

Horror Queers

Pray you don't get lost in the fog because we're heading to Jersey Island to discuss spooky ghost things in Alejandro Amenábar's 2001 film The Others! Joining us for the conversation is Nichole Goble, the host of the Bodies of Horror podcast!

Join us as we trace the origins of the film through Tom Cruise(???) and Dimension Films(??????) before going all in on the atmospheric charms of this Gothic horror gem. From Nicole Kidman's powerful performance, to a look at the film through a lens of disability, we've got you covered.

Plus: much discussion on Catholicism and the afterlife, the not-always-clear rules of the film, and the happiest version of filicide you'll ever find in a horror film.
