Atmospheric thriller with first class performances

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 1999)

The Sixth Sense is without doubt the most intelligent and cleverly scripted movie of 1999. Haley Joel Osment (Cole) puts in an incredibly convincing performance as the young boy tormented by inner demons.
Toni Colette, most famously seen as the star of the delightfully black Aussie comedy "Muriel's Wedding" strikes just the right note as the mother of Cole displaying fear, frustration and love in the right measures.
Bruce Willis is suitably restrained as the child psychologist searching for the angst within his new patient.
Without being a masterpiece,The Sixth Sense is well worth a journey to the local multiplex.
