Review of The Sixth Sense (1999) by Victoria Castle W — 10 Aug 2012
13 years after its release, it feels like The Sixth Sense has been all but forgotten among some of the more edgier horror flicks in recent years. Nonetheless, there's a reason this film put M. Night Shyamalan on the map as it is one of the best ghost stories of all time.
Bruce Willis proves he can take on more serious, developed roles in his performance as Dr. Crowe, a dedicated psychologist who always seems to catch on when something is amiss. Haley Joel Osment is effectively creepy as the kid who sees dead people.
This proves that he had the potential for greatness before he got drunk and crashed his Saturn. The editing is smooth, the pacing is perfect, and the film manages to be genuinely terrifying with its subtle scares and creepy apparitions.
The icing on the cake is the mind-blowing ending. If anyone claims they saw it coming, they're lying.
