"I see Dead People"

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2003)

Sixth Sense, a movie that came out in 1999, is one of my favorites. It is an edge of the seat thriller from start to finish. This movie kept me guessing all the way through. There are many twists and turns that finally lead the viewer up to twisted end. The movie starts out with Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) and his wife (Olivia Williams) celebrating his award he won. Dr. Crowe is a child psychologist. When he walks into his bedroom, he witnesses a gruesome suicide of one of his ex-patients, which turns him to redeem himself by taking on a new client Cole (Haley Joel Osment). Cole has a problem that he will not tell anyone about. Dr. Crowe spends the whole movie trying to get Cole to say what he has on his mind. At the beginning, Cole would not even let Dr. Crowe near him because he had a fear that Dr. Crowe was going to harm him. But Dr. Crowe could not figure out why. Progressively throughout the movie, Dr. Crowe kept inching closer to Cole. For some odd reason, Dr. Crowe and his wife was sliding apart. He thought it was because he had been working on the Cole case. But she would cry and not talk to him or even acknowledge he was even in her presence. Before he could figure out Cole's problem, he just about went berserk when he saw his wife cheating on him. Finally he got back to the Cole case.Cole's mother (Toni Collette) at the same time was trying to figure out what was going on with him. Weird things were going on in the house, and she thought Cole was the source of it. She would cry and beg him to tell him what was going on. She started noticing suspicious things around the house that was even scaring her more. Cole's mother was tired of him not telling her about his problems and his peers making fun of him. For the most part, she gave up trying. Then it was in Dr. Crowe's hands to diagnose Cole's problems.
This movie unlike most kept its audience's attention to the end. The movie Sixth Sense ended just exciting as the middle of the movie, when most movies slope down toward the end. The end of the movie brings everything together and makes sense to things that the audience wouldn't give much thought to.
