Haunting in all the sense of the word

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2002)

Saw this in the theatre when it premiered on our shores. I avoided learning about that so much talked about surprise ending, since I knew that it would ruin my viewing of the movie. The result was getting it on my face when it arrived. I was sitting on the first row, the screen was hovering above me and I was seeing one of those magical movies that make it all worthwhile. With this magnificent movie, the concept of psiychological terror is reinvented, through the eyes of the amazing Haley Joel Osment, which drives the movie forward. Bruce Willis is surprising to say the least. M. Night Shyamalan establishes himself as the new cream of the crop. Fantastic movie.
