This movie is the king.

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2002)

Never before have I ever seen such an awesome suspense thriller. This one had it all: intrigue, of course suspence, eerie atmosphere, great involved acting, and the most unique and creative angle on scary films. Before this film I thought that it wasn't possible to have a horror flick with a plot. Now I can actually look forward to scary films with the hopes that they will have as great -or near- a story line as this one.
Bruce Willis captures eerie from his facial expressions to the tone of his voice. I've always liked his movies and this one is no exception. In fact, he's given much more dramatic room in this one. He shows that he doesn't need fast paced action or cop roles all the time.
Haley Joel Osment is the best. I've seen several other of is movies at the time of this writing and he never ceases to amaze me. At first, I felt sympathy for this child, then as it progressed I realized that his was the coolest role of all (you'll see). He's been gifted with a wide range of emotional display. When he smiles, it warms your heart. His tears choke you up. And his 'intelligence' is intriguing.
Each of the other actors deserve mention here, as well. I just don't want to ramble on and on. The mother was very 'real'. The antagonistic child friends of 'Cole Sear' (Osment's character) capture the essence and cruelty of some kids.
This movie started by making me interested, then pulled by right in, and finally made me feel like I was a part of it. I watch it again and again and it never disappoints me or makes me tired of it. If you haven't seen this film, you MUST!!
I give it 10/10 for literally EVERYTHING in it. thank you.
