HERE IS WHY THE TWIST DIDN'T WORK AT THE END...

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2004)

OK first of all the marketing for the movie made it seem like it was a thriller so of course most people are going to be disappointed when they see it.
Second if you are going to make a TWIST in a movie i think the best way to do it is to start with something mild and end it with something much better and much bigger.
Now the reason this ending didn't work to well is he went from a huge scary plot to something very mild. The sixth sense used the formula right it went from mild to a something much bigger in the end. The key is to end bigger not smaller. It's like expecting to get a huge gift of great value, then you open the box and you get something much smaller and of lesser value, of course the natural reaction is to be disappointed.
just my two cents. :)
