The Face Is the First Casualty
Position 7 of 8
Alejandro Amenábar's haunted-house film places Nicole Kidman in a fog-bound mansion with two photosensitive children and a staff who may not be what they seem. The final revelation reframes everything as a story about bodies that cannot accept what has happened to them.
