"The Others", believe it or not, is a tarted up version of an "Armchair Theatre episode from 1970 called, ta dah, "The Others" starring Nigel Stock, which was also filmed a few years later as "Voices".
I don't think the original still exists and presumably the 2001 producers were hoping everyone had forgotten it. It scared the hell out of me and somewhat undermined the more recent movie because it reminded me of it almost from the start.
In the 1970 play a group of people arrive at an isolated house arguing violently about what a bad driver one of them is. They keep seeing strangers in the house and think it's haunted. Eventually they become so scared they run out and find their dead bodies in a crashed car. As the truth dawns on them there's a loud hum and they vanish in flash of light just as the house's occupants enter the room.
There's a lot of window dressing in Nicole Kidman's version but at heart it's the same story.

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks! 
Wonderful, wonderful movie. One of the very best screen ghost stories, no matter who it's nicked from.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS FILM....DON'T READ THIS
I saw this film when it first came out and loved it but I was always unsure of the husbanRAB return and have tried to have it explained/ confirmed.
I always assumed that his returning home was him being close to death and when he disappeared he had regained consciousness and gone back to battle on the front line
or was he actually alive in the house and having a sixth sense style conversation
I know some of you think I am thick but would love to know the real explanation

Whilst I could understand why the mother would be in Limbo for her "crime", I'm not sure why the children (surely innocent) and the servants (who died of TB) would be stuck there too.
Do not read if you havent seen the movie, SPOILERS ahead:
The Others, the movie, is partly based on 1898 book The Turn of the Screw; with a good amount of your basic Twilight Zone "they were dead all along" type story, most notably the 1961 episode The Passerby.
The Innocents is one of several adaptations of the book.

It has a creepy house, a woman and two kiRAB but otherwise it's nothing like Turn of the Screw or The Innocents.

Overblown, over-decorated twaddle.
That said, the climactic twist/reveal has a sharpness of touch the rest of the film prior could've very much benefitted from. The only moment it truly springs to life (ho ho).
