I thought of The Others as not being so much about "Ghosts are scary" as it was "Ghosts are still people". It was set up to be kind of scary because the mother didn't know what was going on but it's not like anybody was really harmed in this movie, and in the end everything turned out to be OK and it kind of gave a message that maybe ghosts are just as afraid of us as we are of them. It's like saying "How would you feel if some unknown thing entered into your home with you and your family?".
I really loved this movie but I didn't think it was much of a horror movie. It was definitely an emotional movie and I could feel everything that the characters were going through including the mother, her two children, the servants, and even her husband who only appeared briefly.
