What critics compared The Spiral Staircase to
As a terrorized heroine, she doesn't evoke the immediate sympathy of actresses like Ingrid Bergman in "Gaslight," Dorothy McGuire in "The Spiral Staircase," Audrey Hepburn in "Wait Until Dark" or Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby."
An atmospheric throwback to such classic thrillers as "The Cat and the Canary" and "The Spiral Staircase", "The Others" has much to commend it - not least the sight of farceur Eric Sykes, playing a sinister gardener who has more on his mind than Kidman's hydrangeas.
