Yes, the preformances were good, but the plot wasn't.
>>>The beauty of the pacing, like a nocturne, the ever deepening sadness of Kidman, the realization that her marriage had ended and she was alone with the children...a beautiful picture of all-consuming love.<<<
She was a deeply disturbed woman who killed her children, and herself. So much for all consuming love. She wasn't very bright either. She didn't get the hint when she met her DEAD Husband?
Good preformances in a bad movie, still gives a bad movie.

>>>It's not a police thriller, you know? Nor a detective story.<<<
It was supposed to be a ghost story, but it wasn't much of anything really. I really expected to like this movie, but just couldn't.

>>>Shock and surprise, I'm trying to say, aren't the hallmark of a successful film of this genre.<<<
And boredom is?
I don't generally go for shock, but some form of tension or suspense is generally considered a good trait in ghost stories.

>>> Bruce Willis ain't no Nicole Kidman-quality actor.<<<
Absolutely. As a rule, I'm not fond of him. However, SS was a far better movie as a whole, at least it had some tension to it.

>>>The Others used a scalpel<<<
The Others used anesthesia.
