I beg to differ(contains spoiler)

Is it really so bad for a film-maker to re-explore an old idea? If the game of predicting the end of a movie becomes too easy, try watching for a different reason. Narrative in a ghost story is always more important than plot anyway - it's in the telling.
For the record, the parallel being drawn by many is incomplete: in The 6th Sense, Cole was alive and saw dead people, in The Others, Anne is dead and the 'intruders' that she sees (and we see later) are living people.

Incidentally, I wonder if Kidman shared Ewan McGregor stories with Christopher Eccleston and Keith Allen. She seems to be co-starring her way through the entire Shallow Grave cast!
