Kellie says The Sixth Sense is best movie of the summer!

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 1999)

The Sixth Sense was an awesome movie, and by far the best of the summer. It had all key elements that make for a great movie. It was creative, original, and above all completely terrifying. A part in the movie that got to me most was when Haley Joel Osmit says, "Ya know those prickly hairs on the back of your neck? That's them." He's referring to the ghosts and what makes it more scary is that we have never had any explanation for hairs standing on end; except for the fact that we are cold. The movies uses that and says that when ghosts are around the temperature drops, making us cold, and giving us goose bumps. In fact, almost anything pulled from the movie could and would be considered both scary and creative.
The movie was undoubtedly scary. It was the type that made the whole theater scream with terror and gasp at anything interesting. It captivated the audience. But what made it do that was it's unpredictable horror. In most horrors you only see dead people at night; whether they're just being killed or rising from the dead. In this movie dead people show up in broad daylight. Also, you see the dead after whatever it was that killed them. In one case, you see a little boy that was shot in the head. The suspense is endless and the surprises are non-stop. One thing can be said about it, it will make you grasp your neighbors arm as your mouth drops wide open.
The Sixth Sense made for a great summer movie because it had creativity and originality. The Sixth Sense defies all rules for your average horror film. First off, most horrors have a killer that pops out and scares the audience. The Sixth Sense does not have a murderer and is still tens times scarier than any thriller. You never seem to know when another dead person will show up. Some can even come in a matter of seconds and we don't even see them. Also, the shocking end to the perfect movie. The end alone would have been enough creativity and originality for the whole movie. (Don't worry, I won't spoil the ending, even though it was wonderful, but I called it!) The ending and plot alone show how The Sixth Sense doesn't follow the guidelines set for thrillers and goes off to explore uncharted territory, that turned out to be a gold mine!
