overrated and uninspired mess

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2007)

People are probably going to write abuse files about my comment, but at least read it first. First off I don't really like M. Night Shyamalan's films. They don't scare me at all, i've seen enough horror movies to know when the "scary" moments and clichés are coming, and sometimes the characters can be pretty stupid. I saw the Sixth Sense when i was only SEVEN, which was the time i was scared of a lot of stuff. When i went to bed that night, i didn't lose an inch of sleep. How it can be in the top 250, i don't know. The "twist" ending was no surprise, i kinda saw it coming. no person can be able to still walk around living after getting shot a million times by a psychotic person. The little boy was seriously annoying. he was always walking around like a ghost, and while it was "scary" for some people, to me it looked like he was drunk. some scenes aren't totally original either. while i was watching, i had this feeling in a few scenes, like "What movie was that from?" or "deja vu". and a few days later i happened to watch "Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist" again and realized what i was talking about. that scene where all the cabinets and drawers are opened is a huge, slap-in-the-face reference to Poltergeist. Also the scenes where the rooms get colder when the dead and unholy are near reminds me of another certain film in the Top 250 that exceeds this film by all standards.
BOTTOM LINE: if you're looking for a decent ghost/supernatural being story, see Poltergeist or The Exorcist. If you like Shymalan's films, i can't say i agree with you, but whatever. that's my opinion. 1/10
