Moody, atmospheric thriller with great storytelling

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2011)

The Sixth Sense is by far the best movie M. Night Shyamalan has ever made. Osment's chilling performance is great because it never fully convinces us of the character's moral values. His performance is so cold but so heartwarming. Director Shyamalan fills the film with a moody atmosphere and keeps us pondering about what is going to happen next as the plot twists unfold step by step. It never loses interest even when it starts asking us to be sentimental about the supernatural. A very good film full of powerful plot twists and strong performances alongside great filmmaking. Osment's breakthrough performance makes this his greatest hour.
