Love, loss, friendship and dead people!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2002)

Seeing this film back in '99 made me a Shyamalan fan for life. For me it features excellent performances from everyone involved, but especially from Bruce Willis(discovering real acting) and Haley Joel Osment ( one of the best actors in Hollywood). The lighting, colouring and beautiful soundtrack give it a creepy yet sensitive tone. But Shyamalan's direction is what above all deserves credit; he gave it a slow, ponderous pacing rarely seen in a time when many mainstream films come across like pop videos (see The Matrix, Charlie's Angels etc.) The screenplay is truly touching, making The Sixth Sense much more than a mere ghost story. .... oh and the twist's pretty good too...
