You don't get too many movies like this one...

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 1999)

I went into 'The Sixth Sense' not really knowing anything about it, only hearing it had broken box-office records. However I was expecting another mediocre 'Mercury Rising' attempt. How much more could I have been wrong?
'The Sixth Sense' is gripping for almost the entire movie. Osment really outshined Willis and Collette, yet the truly memorable bits of this movie were the scenes which literally sent chills down my spine like no other movie has done before. Shyamalan must be congratulated for showing Hollywood that a good old-fashioned story will always be better than c****y special-FX driven movies (i.e.-ID4). My only quibble concerns the fact that the great twist at the end is what stays in people's minds. Before that, the film was beginning to die off with an unsatisfactory conclusion. Other than that, 'The Sixth Sense' is definitely in the top 3 of 1999. 5/5
