The Sixth Sense

Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan

Chilling and taut thriller (featuring a huge surprise ending) that almost demands repeat viewing due to its contrived nature. But The Sixth Sense is also a clever and well-developed psychological drama featuring blazing performances by Bruce Willis and child-actor sensation Haley Osment.

Great and inspired craftsmanship by director M. Night Shyamalan and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto lend an unshakable and creepy atmosphere throughout. A subtle Toni Collette is exceptional as the mother.
