Excellent thriller

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 1999)

Superb horror/thriller about a little boy who can see dead people and Bruce Willis as a child psychiatrist trying to help him cope with it. The film is VERY quiet and very dark (it's filmed with everything in shadows or darkness...everything in this film looks dark). It also manages to scare you without blood or gore. The film also takes time to establish characters and motivation (how many horror films can you say that about?). It's a solid hour before the kid confides in Willis, but by then you know (and care) about him. Then, to top it off, there's an incredible twist at the end that makes you replay the whole film in your mind. If you like quiet, creepy horror thrillers see this film! It's 20 times better (and more unsettling) than "The Blair Witch Project".
