Made me jump.

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 1999)

If a movie professes to be scary, edge of your seat, frightening, etc; and it doesn't live up to that claim, I feel cheated. The Sixth Sense lives up to its claim of being rather scary. There are moments that will make you jump, and there are moments that will make your hair stand on end. Bruce Willis is very good as the shrink who tries to help the young boy who sees dead people. Hayley Joel Osmet is very good in his role. There is a certain conviction to his voice and you can see it in his eyes, that he really believes he sees dead people. The way he relates to Willis is refreshing in movies. Most of the time, kids are either saying something smart or acting silly, not this kid. He's tortured, and he's scared. The film delivers the goods and even sneaks in a great twist. Better bring someone along with you, you might need to grab hold of them.
