the greatest "twist-at-the-end" movie of all-time

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2001)

manoj night shyamalan crafts a movie beyond the imaginable. a tight script that holds the audience spell-bound and at the end of their nerves right through the movie till he relieves them of the suspense at the end. its a unique experience to hear the whole hall gasp in surprise at the end of the movie.
the performances by osment is very believable and spooky. even wills is surprisingly good in a tightly scripted role. shyamalan manages to bring out the spookiness and ghosts without entering the world of gore. a rare horror movie that doesnt rely on cheap scares to make ur hair stand on end.
the dialogs are entertaining, haley joel osment delivers with unique command. "they dont hold meetings about rainbows" is a beauty.
shyamalan holds the audience enthralled right through with brilliant touches.
a deserved 10.
