The Others / The Orphanage
Halfway through the second film someone in the row behind you will stop breathing properly, and you will hear it, because nobody in this building is looking at a phone. That is what a Wednesday in a revival house buys: an audience that came to be frightened together instead of alone on a couch with all the lights on.
Two Spanish filmmakers, six years apart, both convinced that the most frightening thing in a house is a mother who is certain. One is about a woman guarding her children from daylight. The other is about a woman who returns to the building that raised her and begins counting. Neither needs a drop of blood. Both were made by directors who understood that dread is really a question of how long you are willing to hold a shot before cutting.
Worth knowing the lineage: Guillermo del Toro produced the second picture, and its director later graduated to enormous disaster films — but this is the one where he learned how to make an audience wait.
Both screen on 35mm, house policy since 2014. First film 7:30, second at 9:45. 7165 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles.
