Best movie i've seen in years!

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 1999)

The 6th sense may be the best horror movie I've seen for a long time. When I first heard about it, I thought it was going to be another Mercury Rising (you know Bruce Willis -some kid) but I was dead wrong! The 6th Sense is a true spine-chilling movie. For those of you who are expecting any gore or in-your-face monsters, forget it, this movie is more subtle than that. And the ending! Don't read any spoilers, or you might as well forget about seeing the movie. As for the acting, Haley Joel Osment was EXCELLENT. He is the greatest child actor I have ever known. He plays his character with true emotional depth. No big-eyed, teary 'Mommy I'm scaaaared' performance that I'm accustomed to seeing in most horror movies but a real performance. You can actually FEEL his fear and you can really sympathize with him. The scenes with him and his mother are very touching. No, this is more than just a horror flick. One of the scenes that I can't forget is when Osment looks steadfastly away from the dead bodies hanging from a beam at his school. He doesn't scream or anything, but that scene carries weight, it tells you that the boy has seen this type of things many times. Another one is when he tells Willis at the hospital that he sees dead people around him, who don't know they're dead, and they see only what they want to see. Creepy. Osment deserves an Oscar for his role. Oh and Willis was good too, the two characters interact wonderfully.
