Death is in the air

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2000)

A wonderful, suspenseful, frightening film about a relationship with a young boy and a child psychologist. The young boy lives a life of solitude and fear as he has this special sense or power to see dead people as well as the living. M. Night Shyalmalan does an outstanding job with the direction and script of this now-classic chiller. The acting is superb as both Bruce Willis and especially Haley Joel Osment give performances...excuse the pun...to die for. The film has a power in itself and it gets a grip on the viewer and does not let go till the very end..and although the ending is somewhat known for its twist...I did not know what was coming the first time I saw the film. I was totally floored when I saw it and spent the second viewing making sure it was at all plausible...and it was. I recommend this film heartily and strongly recommend everyone seeing it at least twice.
