Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2010)

This is the film that rocketed M. Night Shyamalan's reputation as a promising writer-director. Nominated for 6 Oscars including best picture, The Sixth Sense is a brilliant film that shocks, and mystifies viewers. Well-known for its unexpected yet satisfying twist at the end, the film boasts a refined performance by Bruce Willis, and supported by "I see dead people" Haley Joel Osment effective portrayal of a boy who, well, sees dead people.
The Sixth Sense is very suspenseful, filled with Shyamalan's hallmarks - sudden sounds accompanied by frightening images. The score by James Newton Howard must be commended, enhancing the film's 'mysterious appeal'. This is a film that documents the questionable existence of ghosts, and how most of them are not necessarily evil. It's brilliantly conceived and written by Shyamalan, and is unlikely to be matched if he keeps producing films like the awful Lady In The Water. The Sixth Sense is a roaring success!
