This movie took my breath away!

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2000)

I just finished watching "The Sixth Sense," and I thought it was one of the best movies (scary or otherwise) I had ever seen. The thing that makes this movie work as a genuinely creepy movie is that it's plausible. It's not scary in a blood-curdling-scream kind of way; it's more psychological, and it's more likely to make you lie awake at night and wonder if this might happen to you. After you see "The Sixth Sense," compare it to a traditional horror movie, such as "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Which movie's plot and characters seem more believable?
The ending is fantastic, and it came as a complete shock to me. The clues to the ending are laid out in the movie, but you will probably only recognize them in hindsight. This is a great Halloween movie, but it's a great psychological thriller for any time of the year.
