Fantastic ghost story

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2000)

This movie is excellent. It doesn't need to use excessive blood and gore to get its point across. It is tense, scary, well-acted, and cinematically beautiful. The use of the color red by the cinematographer is fantastic, and the cryptic camera shots of Bruce Willis are fantastic. The ending of the movie at first doesn't seem to make sense, but then when you look back at the entire film, it makes sense all along. Haley Joel Osment is spectacular as Cole. His was one of the best child performances I've ever seen, rival to Henry Thomas in "E.T." and Linda Blair in "The Exorcist". It was truly a chilling tale of the supernatural and I highly recommend it.
