Finally something making sense.

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 1999)

I'll remember the summer movies of 1999 for two movies extremely
over-marketed, which could've never live up to their expectations and hype
(Star Wars Episode One, and The Blair Witch Project) and two films which quietly delivered what these two films should have, and didn't: The Matrix and this
one.
The 6th sense is a masterpiece. Is a movie that will stay with you way long after you see it. Not an horror movie, but a really scary movie. The atmosphere is
amazing, even after the movie ends, when the credits roll, you feel chills in your spine. Fear of the unknown is the main reason this movie is so scary. Just imagine you could really see dead people: A curse rather than a gift. Now
imagine you're a kid. Just the idea is...well, scary. The so praised twist at the end is just an improvement to an already wonderful piece of work.

Bruce Willis seemed to be on Valium during the whole thing, but his
performance is his best since 12 Monkeys. Makes you wonder how a guy who
picked these scripts, including Pulp Fiction, also does stuff like Armageddon. A breath of fresh air in one of the stupidest summers in film history. I'm glad it became a word of mouth success and I wouldn't mind seeing it at the recently
idiotic Academy Awards.
