Supernatural tale with some Intensity

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2017)

After many years, The Sixth Sense remains the film which gave M. Night Shyamalan his high praise and is considered by many to be his best film. The film bills itself as a psychological thriller, but it's really more of a supernatural adventure picture that will make you ponder and think about every little detail of your own life once after watching the film. Bruce Willis stars as a child psychologist trying to heal a young boy (Haley Joel Osment). The boy's affliction, he's always scared. And he has good reason to be.
After several close paying attention to detail, though this synopsis is quite brief, more said would mean fewer surprises. And this is one film sure to surprise you. Rather, let's turn our attention to the horror factor. This film is not a horror film in the least, as there are no slashing and no scary pop-up scenes. Instead, it's the relationship between the psychologist and the boy that aptly carries the picture, that and the subjects of the child's "sixth sense."
For one time viewers to watch this film as of 2017, it may feel as scary to those who have watched the film in its 1999 release date. Overall, the Sixth Sense plays great mind tricks but as a horror film, it is not. More so a mystery thriller with occasional jump scares (though are very brief)
