Supernatural drama with feeling

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2003)

This film is as much an exploration of fragile human emotion as it
is about ghosts. Shyamalan prises a dedicated absorbing
performance out of Willis playing a troubled psychologist, and
Osment is superb as the lonely child with a grave secret to tell.
The film is handled with care and emotion, and the script solid and
full of depth. There are many genuine scary moments, but none to
sicken or to shock, it is handles too well to descend into horror
farce. Compelling.
