Directed by: Alejandro Amenabar
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Christopher Eccleston, Fionnula Flanagan, Alakina Mann
Continuity mistake: When Grace and Ms. Mills are sitting in the living room you can see a clock on the right, but in the next shot it's disappeared.
Bertha Mills: Sometimes, the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead.
Trivia: The disease the children have is a real-life, but rare, disease called xeroderma pigmentosum.
Question: So is Charles, Grace's husband, dead too or is this another example of the worlds of the dead and living colliding?
