A very good modern thriller/horror with good acting(some possible spoilers!)

Rating: 6/10 (4 May 2002)

M. Night Shyamalan's thriller 'The Sixth Sense' strikes a cord, being a very good modern thriller/horror with good acting a key a lot of thrillers lack.
Haley Joel Osment breaks into acting playing Cole Sear, a boy who we find out has a "sixth sense"-a gift(call it what you may) that makes him se dead people.
Bruce Willis plays his Psychiatrist, who is trying to help him as a way of making up for a past patient who killed himself.
Not only does the film feature an edgy feel of mild horror, but also a touch of thriller, drama and even mystery. The chemistry between the genres introduces us, the audience into a new kind of movie. Unlike cheesy horror/drama/thrillers before, 'The Sixth Sense' also offers us good acting, which even earned the 11 year old Haley Joel Osment and Oscar Nomination for best actor(which ended up going to Russel Crowe for 'Gladiator', a movie I personally thought was dumb). Bruce Willis also adds his acting skills to the movie, in one of his best dramatic performances ever.
After this movie, not only did it boost the movies actors higher in staredom, but also the director, M. Night Shyalaman. Since I have seen his directing skills in films like 'Unbreakable'(which starred Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson) and the upcoming Mel Gibson movie, 'Signs'.
If you like drama, horror, mystery, and/or thrillers, you will thouroughly enjoy this movie. Although it's not one of my favorite movies, it is a great movie, with great acting and directing skills. If you haven't already seen it, rent it. 3.5/5 stars
