Very Orginal

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 1999)

Going into the movie I thought that this was going to your typical horror movie. When you first see the commercials for this movie you are to assume that the ghosts the little boys sees are evil. As you watch the movie you feel that this assumption is in correct. The little boy becomes horrified by the images he is forced to watch. The ghosts all have minds of their own. These aren't the typical ghosts we are so used to seeing in films. All of them walk around not even knowing they are dead. That is what scares the little boy through out the entire film. Why I liked this film was because of its originality. Yes there have been films about people talking to ghosts. But never have we seen "talking to ghosts" so dark, gritty, eerie, and real as this film. For instance, the movie, Ghost, where a man dies and comes back to figure out the reason for his death and to help his love in fear of her demise as well in the process. That movie was scary in its own way but also had light hearted humor. It also had the subplot of true love. Six sense on the other hand I feel is the complete opposite from Ghost. True both movies do have the same premise. But as I said Six sense took the whole idea of talking to the dead to a different level as Ghost did. Instead of making light hearted jokes that amused you, like Ghost, it made fun of people and also made u feel bad laughing at them (example the couple buying the wedding ring). and I would also like to point out the movie did have a few faults to it, and a few holes, but overall I felt that this was a very good film and very original. It has made a very good addition to the horror genre . Even though I feel it has many other aspects to it than just being a horror.
