For a LONG time, this movie was hard to find without resorting to slightly-less-than-legal means. I really wanted to upgrade my DVD to blu ray or at least stream it in HD, but it was really hard to come across. Not only is it back in print and on Streaming (Finally), but the folks at Criterion did a wonderful job restoring it. Pepsi challenge the old DVD if you have a copy. The difference is astounding.
As for the movie itself, I consider it very underrated. It was a big deal in 2001 when it was released, and has kind of fallen by the wayside in terms of popularity. I'm a huge horror fan, and absolutely love the gothic atmosphere. And while it is filled to the brim with spookiness and suspence, there's no gore and not a ton of jumpscares (Be warned, the movie starts with a jumpscare). So if you're squeamish, this might be a safer option for you. Amazing performance by Nichole Kidman, with great cinematography. If you're familiar with "Turn of the Screw" and movies that adapted it like "The Innocents" from 1960, it's a lot like those in terms of story and tone. Check it out if you like supernatural horror and you missed this one. It's great.

El mejor Amenábar en su mejor versión.
Reviewed in Mexico on 11 January 2024Verified Purchase
No hace falta hablar de la trama: esta versión restaurada con extras nuevos es definitivamente la mejor versión disponible de la mejor película de Amenábar (y una de las 5 mejores interpretaciones de la Kidman).

Great movie
Reviewed in Canada on 31 December 2023Verified Purchase
You can hear the house making noises, the voices and Victor walking around the second floor that Lidia was getting blamed for!
Excellent sound on the overhead speakers specially on 7.2.4 system with a power amplifier for higher resolution.

Tense even on second watch!
Reviewed in the United States on 4 February 2024Verified Purchase
This movie does a great job building tension and even knowing how it all unfolds I still get the shivers with certain scenes. The 4K looks amazing and it has great atmospheric sounds. A huge upgrade from the DVD I had years and years ago.

Tuvo una ligera tardanza en llegar pero llegó muy bien empacado. Todo bien. Solo que ahora ya está bien caro.
