Tedious and predictable supernatural "thriller"

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2002)

WARNING - IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING OF THIS FILM READ NO FURTHER!

The Sixth Sense was hyped as a supernatural thriller with an unexpected twist. Well once you know the boy can see and speak to the dead - which you know from the trailers - the ending is predictable from the first five minutes. And there are enough clues for anyone. But the idea that the Bruce Willis character could go for a year and realise that he was dead (whoops! did I spoil the ending for anyone?) is just plain ludicrous. Didn't he notice that everyone - not just his wife was ignoring him? Besides these stupidities the film was slow and dull, and about as scary as an episode of The Munsters.
