A first-class thriller.

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2000)

A great cast all round, but Haley Joel Osment stole the show in this mesmerising thriller about a young boy who sees ghosts. 'The Sixth Sense' is a superb journey into the mind of a troubled child. Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan presents this movie with a perfect atmosphere. He uses the codes and conventions of the genre as tools that bring to the fore the depth and beauty of the story. Worth seeing simply for Osment's stunning performance. Music and visual effects were used to great effect. 'The Sixth Sense' was the best film of 1999. Bruce Willis, Toni Collette. *****
