Amazing.

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 1999)

If you want an example of what great, tight writing and well executed film making are watch, "The Sixth Sense." This is a haunting movie that stays with you, in the evil recesses of your mind. and just sits there for you to dwell upon. The writing in this movie is superb as it draws you in slowly and patiently letting you take in the scenes one at a time and then it hits you with a great ending that leaves you completely shocked. One of the best things about this film is its ability to be watched a second and a third time. You are compelled to test the film and its ending to see if you can come up with any mistakes or holes but there are none. This film is amazing. Add to all this some flawless filming. Good, consistent camera angles and movement that are paced just perfectly with the story. Its a movie with just the right tint of darkness. Bruce Willis is wonderful in this film displaying so much emotion and depth and Haley Joel Osment plays the tortured child to chilling perfection. You leave the theater wishing that kid the best in therapy! His performance puts him up there with Linda Blair! "The Sixth Sense," is way ahead of the pack as far as summer horror movies go. Not only that but it may the best movie that I've seen all year, both compelling and chilling. Loving and horrific.
