A genius denouement.

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2017)

I'm an old man who's been a fan of horror and sci-fi movies for over 5o years. I'm pretty jaded now and none of the more recent scare-fests have impressed me. They may have a few scenes that get your attention but then they turn into a stomach churning gore-fest or throw in some plot twist that's goofy even for the genre - and that's saying a lot.
I wasn't expecting anything special when I watched Sixth Sense but it immediately got and held my attention the whole way. And perhaps I'm the only person in the world who didn't see the end coming but I didn't and it made for an absolutely fabulous experience. I thought I could no longer be surprised by a horror movie but Sixth Sense let me capture a feeling I hadn't had for decades and gave me hope that it could happen again.
I'm sure there are plenty of things to criticize in this film, but I certainly had no complaints. A straight-up 10 for me.
