What the... oh my God... No way!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 1999)

Okay, I'm very picky when it comes to the movies. "The Mummy", and "The Haunting", and even the "Blair Witch Project" were disappointing and, to tell the truth, not worth the money I paid to see them. But this movie, Sixth Sense, left me speechless and trembling as I stumbled out of the theater.
The first thing I noticed was the camera work. The cameras filmed shots that were unnecessary and unusually dramatic, successfully giving the film it's dark and eerie feel. Simply artistic! The camera work is a great example of how much genius went into this movie.
And the acting!! Incredible! Powerful! I have never seen a better child actor. He was so believable and so real that he alone makes the movie what it is, taking the audience to depths of fear, despair, anger, and even joy. Bruce Willis also did a great job in a different kind of role then what I'm use to seeing him in.
The movie was so unpredictable, I found myself gaping. I thought I was in for a reasonably scary horror movie, but it was much more than that. Though it started slow at first (with excellent character development), toward the end it picked up. In one moment of the movie, I was uneasy. In another, I actually screamed and jumped out of my seat. And then in yet another, I was horrified by an Edgar Allen Poetic moment that took me completely by surprise. And like no other horror movie I've seen, I was moved. I cried.
And the end... well, you gotta see it. I was on the edge of my seat, staring and listening in unbelief.
This movie is for the thinking person, the deep person, the person tired of the overblown big budget bummers of the summer. It's definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen.
