A very touching story with a sprinkle of creepiness

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 1999)

I went in to see this movie with high expectations. Everyone I knew had recommended it and I wasn't about to miss it. So yesterday night I went for the late show (to my suprise, it was half full in AMC's biggest theater for a 2nd week run). I noticed everyone enjoyed the show.
I particularly enjoyed the quiet performance of Bruce Willis and a gut-wrenching one from Haley Joel Osment. I love the way director/writer/actor M. Night Shyamalan unraveled the story with a rather genuinely surprising ending.
Guys, bring your girlfriend with you to see this movie -- she'll be grabbing on to your arms really tightly in some of the scary scenes.
I highly recommend it. I'm hoping to see the Special Edition DVD home video from Disney, with Shyamalan's commentary, no less.
