Unforgettable, Haunting & Brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 1999)

What a year at the movies, with the exception of The Haunting' and a couple of minor turkeys, I cannot remember a better year for cinema-going. As the year plodded on I thought the best had come and gone until I saw The Sixth Sense', wow, what a brilliant film. Everything about this movie is top notch from the acting, the story, and script, commendation has definitely got to go to the actors, everybody from Bruce Willis to Toni Collette (from Muriel's Wedding) were perfectly cast and all gave career high performances. The Sixth Sense' grabs you from the opening and doesn't let go until its fantastic conclusion, and for a fairly slow paced story you simply cannot take your eyes from the screen. If you like to be scared, this is the movie watch, forget all the garbage Hollywood has been shoving down our throats, Yes Scream' and I Know What You Did Last Summer', I am talking about you. Lets hope that future productions use this style of chiller as a blueprint instead of the thoroughly unimaginative slasher' movies of recent years.
The Sixth Sense' has got to be one of the top movies of the year, if not the decade. I watched the film over a week ago and I still think about it, that's just how haunting an experience it is. My highest praise goes out to everyone involved in the making of this unforgettable, excellent motion picture.
