I watched it during the day and built myself a blanket fort

Rating: 9/10 (25 September 2019)

Hadn't seen this in years and enjoyed it just as much in my rewatch. I will say though that knowing the outcome changed the fear factor a bit, almost like watching a different movie in that respect, and the makeup on the ghosts looks a little cheesy now but still excellent, scary as hell, even knowing the famous twist.
Blurb describes this as "best picture nominee with Bruce Willis as a child psychologist to the superb Haley Joel Osment, his tormented patient who has visions of the dead.
This is definitely a must see movie, I still wasn't sure that I would be able to get through it as I'm not great with the ghost stories but I watched it during the day and built myself a blanket fort. I remember back when this came out, the most remarkable thing was that nobody gave away the big surprise ending which would never happen today with all the spoiler alerts.
Toni Collette as the mum is excellent, Bruce is quietly tortured, Haley Joel Osment is amazing. Its scary and very clever. Follow the red clues.
