Superb movie!

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 1999)

Don't make the mistake of thinking this is a typical Bruce Willis flick or yet another cheesy horror movie. I'm not a fan of either, but absolutely loved this movie. Is this movie perfect? Definitely not. But it is one of the best movies of the year, and perhaps one of the best all-time for its genre.
I think the distributors actually mis-marketed this movie as strictly a horror movie. In reality, it is much more of a drama or human interest story. The plot, character development, and acting are what really make this movie, not the occasional scare. In fact the acting is likely (I hope) to produce at least a couple Oscar nominations. I hope the Academy members have the guts to nominate Haley Joel Osment, he absolutely deserves it.
The best part of this movie is the drive home afterwards. You'll replay every scene in your head realizing how everything makes sense. So, go see this movie immediately!! But don't go in looking for a hard-core horror movie, instead look for the most emotionally gripping movie of the year.
Highly, highly recommended.
