Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2006)

"The Sixth Sense".Nobody knew that it was going to be such a hit at the movies.But it was.A perfect combination of scares and suspense,"The Sixth Sense" is the perfect vehicle for action star Bruce Willis,who has proved to critics and moviegoers that he is more than John McClane.The movie's real spirit comes from Haley Joel Osment.He's believable,as a child actor,He really gets you to believe in his character and the character development between Bruce Willis,Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette are first rate.Director,M.Night Shymalan knows all the punches and he doesn't hold back.This is one of the best films of 1999.It knows how to scare and the movie's ending(which I will not giveaway)will knock you off your chair.It is very rare for a horror film to come out that relies less on blood and gore and more on atmosphere."The Sixth Sense" is atmosphere.It wraps around you and you keep wanting more.Released in the fourth quarter of 1999,"The Sixth Sense" was one of the good reasons to go to the movies.One of the best films that deals with the supernatural.Depending on what type of person you are,it knows how to scare.The genius behind this film is how M.Night Shymalon throws these clues at us and we tend to not catch them until it hits us in the head."The Sixth Sense" is brilliant and in most cases,frightening.It'a all in the atmosphere and suspense.Not in the gore."The Sixth Sense" has just a tiny bit of it,but the suspense wins over.
