just great

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 1999)

I usually don't like horror movies (with a few exceptions) but after I heard about the Sixth Sense I decided to see it. Once the movie started, I was completely absorbed in it... yeah, it was a bit "slow" if you're used to the MTV style wham-bang action/horror movies, but I consider this one great drama/suspense. The first thing that came to my mind was how good the dialogue was. So much subtext, and the characterization was just wonderful. This movie has the same feel of "Seven" and both have become my favorite Horrordrama, with similar endings that mesmerize me.
The acting is excellent! The plot can seem confusing at times but at the end, when you think about it, it makes sense.
Some people are bored by the "slow" pace but I think they miss the point. It's not an action/horror movie. It is more of a drama with strong message about people and family and love. Some people, upon knowing about a trick ending, tend to try too hard to "predict" it and when they do, it takes away the pure joy of seeing the movie and not expecting anything. they are too smart for their own good. It is like going to to beach and watch a sunset and get bored by it because you know all about it... you are missing out of the joy of discovering something, or merely experiencing it.
If you like a good story, good acting, and solid movie making, then the sixth sense is highly recommended.
