A true horror story

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 1999)

In a time when horror films are steriotypically seen as gratuitous displays of gore and of monsters who repeatedly mutilate "innocent" characters for no reason what-so-ever, The Sixth Sense decides to break the mold and return to the "good old days" of the horror genre.
This movie doesn't use gore or overused violence to play on the audiance's fear...instead it goes back to way horror films were done in the old days. The days when Hitchkock was the master of horror. This movie, beside the ghost who are depicted with their death wounds, is at heart one big mind game. This movie is very very believable...which adds to the suspense that is already present. This movie, unlike other horror movies, doesn't treat the audiance as mindless movie goers who are only interested in violence and blood; instead, it treats you as intelligent person and often makes you think about what is going on.
The acting was superb, the music well done (although at some points it did harken to the current horror style of increase intensity of music means something is about to happen), an excelent story, and of course the best ending ever to be shone on the silver screen. The ending comes at you out of nowhere and you find yourself with your mouth dropping to the floor.

If you see the movie don't tell anyone who hasn't see it how the movie ends. Trust me. Hitchkock had the right idea about telling people not to tell others about the ending of Psycho but when people started to tell others...the "magic" so to speak died from the film.
