The whole film was run of the mill and obviously only existing to deliver a twist...an obvious twist at that.
At least the "Sixth Sense" did something marginally interesting while it was building up to the twist.

an obvious twist !!
I usually see the 'twist endings coming a mile away'
Every single time.
The one thing that impressed me about The Others and 6th Sense both is not only were they fresh and origional.. well acted and tense ... they both delivered a twist ending i never saw coming ... and in a way that didnt feel like it was there as a gimmick.
I have a lot of respect for both of these films.
Your description of the film accurately describes The Village .. but not The Others - in my opinion.
