A very good, and well told story.

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2000)

The most arresting aspect of this movie for me was the portrayal of the troubled little boy. The methods he devised of dealing with his apparent ability to "see dead people" (i.e. the "sixth sense") and his heartwrenching difficulties with his mother, classmates, and the troubled spirits themselves are excellently portrayed and presented. He is an unusually good actor, particularly for one so young.
Bruce Willis is quite good in his role of the Child Psychologist attempting to help the ostensibly delusional and psychotic child. The spooky effects are good, and not overdone with gore or crude bloodshed. In fact, the movie really makes one think about the proximity of the "spirit world"- especially on a dark night when alone.
Many viewers who have offered comments here have seen the movie more than once. I think I will too. It is an entertaining, well thought out, well performed and expertly and effectively shot film.
Rent it next Halloween!
