The Others (2001)

Where The Others says it takes place, and where it was really shot.

A haunted house on Jersey that is really a mansion in northern Spain, and a film set almost entirely inside one place

Scenes and places

Three strangers arrive at the darkened house (1945)

Grace Stewart keeps her light-sensitive children, Anne and Nicholas, in a house sealed behind heavy curtains. Bertha Mills, Edmund Tuttle and the mute Lydia arrive asking for work, and Grace hires them as housekeeper, gardener and maid. They tell her they worked in the house years earlier.

Set in The remote house on Jersey — The isolated country house on Jersey where almost the whole film takes place.

Palacio de los Hornillos in Cantabria stands in for the Jersey house; the story itself is set on Jersey, a Channel Island, in 1945.

How to get there:

The album in the storage room (1945)

After Anne says a boy named Victor and his family visit her, Grace hears footsteps and voices and orders a search of the house. In a storage room she finds a nineteenth-century album of photographs of corpses. Mrs Mills explains that many people left the house in 1891 after a tuberculosis outbreak.
