Sorry, but...

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 1999)

After the full-throttle media build-up, I was genuinely shocked to find how crushingly mundane this film is. There is literally nothing to it.
Although well-acted and visually superb, The Sixth Sense is a whispered, re-hash of the more tedious scenes from your least favourite horror films and thrillers. It mistakes tedium for intelligence, and inaction for faith in the viewer's intelligence. As for the 'twist' ending... well, it's more heavily signposted than the M25. If you haven't guessed it by the time the film is halfway through its scrape, then you have some serious problems...
It was watchable enough, mind you...
