Well done!

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 1999)

I normally avoid movies with child actors in "leading" roles, but was very pleasantly surprised by this film. Bruce Willis, who I have previously only enjoyed in action roles, was also very good.
The "kid seeing & talking to dead people" bit is not overdone, in spite of what the trailer might lead you to believe. There are several unexpected scares (the best kind), and well done story elements which cannot even be touched upon here without spoiling them.
Even if you generally don't appreciate child actors (or Bruce Willis, for that matter), don't let that stop you from seeing this very good movie.
