Every Halloween season I watch THE OTHER, a favorite among forgotten or unsung horror films. This is one of those movies near impossible to talk about without spoiling some secrets, and THE OTHER is all about secrets. I can safely tell you the movie takes place in 1935 New England, and concerns one summer in the life of the Perry family, particularly the twin boys Niles and Holland. Underneath the pastoral landscape of the town, lies and secrets fester … and suspicious deaths occur fairly regularly. Director Robert Mulligan also filmed TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and THE OTHER can be read as the dark reverse of MOCKINGBIRD’s deeply felt nostalgia. Under the hot summer sun, behind the barns and bales of hay, down in the apple cellar, something is very, very wrong.
