Touching, Scary and Powerful

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 1999)

Hear that noise in the attic? That cold feeling, the hair rising on your arms? According to Haley Joel Osment, the young actor playing Cole in the Sixth Sense, it means that there's a ghost around. Sometimes ghosts don't know that they are dead and only see what they want to see.
Cole meets child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (played by Bruce Willis) who tries to help him get to grips with his "sixth sense".
The movie is touching and sometimes scary but never gory. The young Haley Joel Osment outshines Willis in the way he expresses his fear, his anger at feeling an outcast, his helplessness.
You've all probably heard it before but, the best part of the movie is of course the superb ending. It makes you realize that things are not always as they seem...
