"I ain't 'fraid of no ghosts!" Until I saw the Sixth Sense.

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 1999)

I believe the Sixth Sense was researched thoroughly as I have heard demonologists speak on the subject of the paranormal: and much of what these clairvoyants had to say was incorporated into the movie. It was very unsettling indeed.
The acting job by Bruce Willis was probably the best of his career. He is so believable and he's not even hanging from an elevator shaft or racing in a cab through Central Park. He's just acting, and he's great in this film. As for Osment, well he deserves the Oscar. If he doesn't get it, then the academy is even more blind than I thought. (I.E. Shakespeare in Love beating Private Ryan-get bent!) Quite simply these actors make the characters frighteningly believable.
And that's just for starters. For the first time in years this was a movie with an actual story. I know, unreal idea in today's big Hollywood, with their awful big money concepts. It just proves, give the public a story rather than Godzilla, and they'll go see it. There's no reliance on special effects made on some turbo-geek's CGI machine to drive the film. Shyamalan has written an amazing script with twists and turns that will leave you with goosebumps for the full two hours. He also did an incredible job directing the film, with filters, and angles that will make you quite nervous, as if you're with the boy and Willis throughout the terrifying twists.
As for the ending, go see the movie and you will be blown away. It's right up there with The Usual Suspects as far as surprises go. And bring a warm jacket to the theater because you will have the chills as each plot twist hits you.
Simply put this is by far the best movie I've seen all year. It'll make you ponder the paranormal, even if you don't want to.
