I Watch Films: The Other

 

The Other

Niles and Holland are twin brothers in a rural 1930s American farm. Holland is the one who gets them into trouble. Their Russian grandmother Ada is tutoring Niles in “the game,” astral projection. As events proceed disasters come across the farm and the neighbours, including deaths.

Niles and Holland have secrets and neither the deaths nor the game started when we began watching. There’s several gruesome deaths, including of children and animals.
