Something else!

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2010)

This movie shocked and spooked me throughout the whole way. Dark moments and scenes here and there, but still remains to stay calm when necessary. Its one of the rarest films by M. Night Shyamalan thats actually good. Not to be offensive, but most of his movies suck. But this one was quite decent, a masterpiece at best.
Bruce Willis is a child psychologist named Malcolm Crowe who helps out a disturbed child, (Haley Joel Osment) who has visions of dead people. By doing this, his wife becomes depressed over his absence, (or at least thats what he thinks) which causes him to decide between helping the kid, or his wife.
The story itself is excellent, opening with a bone chilling scene. Not to mention a surprising ending that will leave you haunted for days. The acting performances are phenomenal, mostly Osment, who received an Oscar nomination. Also includes Toni Collete, Olivia Williams, and a cameo of Shyamalan as a doctor. The music by James Newton Howard gave me goosebumps for the whole movie. One of his best scores ever in my opinion. Unlike Ghost, which is a little similar, this one doesn't have crappy effects thrown in it, but rather suspenseful situations based on sense, given this movie's title.
This film couldn't have been any better. Everything work perfectly. The only reason for not a 9 or 10 is simply based on movie type. But all together this film was excellent.
