Get the Oscars ready...this one's a winner!

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 1999)

This is without a doubt one of the best films of 1999. If the Sixth Sense doesn't become a strong Academy Award contender, I'll organize my own protest.
You may go to this film expecting a standard "scare flick," but you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is a movie full of chills, horror, and believe it or not, warmth and hope.
Haley Joel Osmont is the best child actor to hit the screen in years. His heartfelt performance is riveting, and the chemistry he achieves with Toni Collette as his mother is achingly real. Bruce Willis finally hits his mark as a dramatic actor, wisely underplaying his role as the child psychologist with an all-consuming passion to rescue this young boy from his torment.
To say anything else would be unfair; this is a film that must be seen to be believed. The incredible M. Night Shyamalan has written and directed a movie that transcends the horror genre and works just as well as an emotional drama. Put this one on your must-see list!
