A Scary Moovie! :

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 1999)

Excellent ghostly horror film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, cleverly plotted and beautifully photographed, with moore than a few chills and twists. A surprisingly superb performance by Bruce Willis("Pulp Fiction", "The Last Boy Scout") as Dr. Malcolm Crowe, the child psychologist who tries desperately to cownnect with a reclusive, ostracized young boy, equally well-played by newcowmer Haley Joel Osmet. I say surprisingly superb in regards to Willis, who for once shows a level of depth and refinement previously not allowed him by the cardboard characters of his bone-headed, fx-ladened action movies ("Armageddon", "Die Hard"). "The Sixth Sense", like the earlier "Blair Witch Project", has become an instant horror classic, thanks largely to the wonderfully written script of Shyalaman, a heretofore largely unknown talent from the outscirts of Philly. His story eschews gory, cliched action-horror, and goes for the intellectual side of the supernatural. Well-done, genuinely frightening, and lots of fun, the MooCow says grab some popcorn & check out this ghastly goody! :
