I saw this one first... recently watched The Changeling (1980) for the first time ever and was surprised that both movies shared several scenes, even character names... overall tone.

If you like this movie I recommend watching The Changeling starring George C. Scott.

The Changeling is a great spooky movie. George C. Scott was one of my favorite actors. Loved him in everything he ever did. Same way I feel about Morgan Freeman.

The Changeling is one of the most atmospheric ghost stories ever.

Not at all. The man who was being haunt was dead. The Changling was a fine ghost story, but is not borrowed from or similar to The Others. Unless, of course, you are referring to the most simplistic element of a ghost in a ghost story.
