Genre: Horror Rating: PG13 Release Date: 6-MAY-2003 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com essential video: "I see dead people," whispers little Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), scared to affirm what is to him now a daily occurrence. This peaked 9-year old, already hypersensitive to begin with, is now being haunted by seemingly malevolent spirits. Child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is trying to find out what's triggering Cole's visions, but what appears to be a psychological manifestation turns out to be frighteningly real. It might be enough to scare off a lesser man, but for Malcolm it's personal--several months before, he was accosted and shot by an unhinged patient, who then turned the gun on himself. Since then, Malcolm has been in turmoil--he and his wife (Olivia Williams) are barely speaking, and his life has taken an aimless turn. Having failed his loved ones and himself, he's not about to give up on Cole. This third feature by M. Night Shyamalan sets itself up as a thriller, poised on the brink of delivering monstrous scares, but gradually evolves into more of a psychological drama with supernatural undertones. Many critics faulted the film for being mawkish and New Age-y, but no matter how you slice it, this is one mightily effective piece of filmmaking. The bare bones of the story are basic enough, but the moody atmosphere created by Shyamalan and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto made this one of the creepiest pictures of 1999, forsaking excessive gore for a sinisterly simple feeling of chilly otherworldliness. Willis is in his strong, silent type mode here, and gives the film wholly over to Osment, whose crumpled face and big eyes convey a child too wise for his years; his scenes with his mother (Toni Collette) are small, heartbreaking marvels. And even if you figure out the film's surprise ending, it packs an amazingly emotional wallop when it comes, and will have you racing to watch the movie again with a new perspective. You may be able to shake off the sentimentality of The Sixth Sense, but its craftsmanship and atmosphere will stay with you for days. --Mark Englehart Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Rejoice MST3K Fans -- Rifftrax Is Here!M. Night Shalalalalalalalalalala-tee-da burst onto the scene with the biggest suspense thriller of 1999 (well, right behind a relatively short list of films that includes Analyze This, Wild Wild West and Varsity Blues.) Haley Joel Osment delivers the most miraculous performance ever given by a toddler (he was just 18 months old when he was nominated for the Oscar!) and Bruce "The Return of Bruno" Willis turns in yet another trademark performance as a guy who seems sort of tired and annoyed. When ... Read More Rating:  - Oh so good.The Sixth Sense by M Night Shyamalan is by far his masterpiece, too bad all the films that followed were less than impressive. This is also Bruce Willis's finest performance, he is flawless from start to finish. Toni Collette is such a chameleon, she can transform herself into any character and her physical appearance changes in every film as well. I love the twist ending and the writing is brilliant, I highly recommend this ghostly horror, enjoy! Rating: - Classic horrorI'm sorry to admit that even after years of viewing this movie, it still terrifies me and I consider it the greatest thing Shyamalan has ever done. While following the typical ghost story, "The Sixth Sense" is able to achieve true emotional impact as heart is put into the tale. The directing is brilliant and Haley Joel Osment will always be known for his role in one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. Rating: - Excellent filmI saw this film in the theaters back in 1998/1999 and at the time I thought it was a good film, but I had no intention to watch it again. Since that time I have seen bits and pieces of the film, but had no desire to watch it again. I thought it was a great film, but it was just not for me. Well yesterday and today I watched the film in full for the first time since 98/99 and saw it from a different perspective that I failed to see in 98/99. I liked it so much, I decided to buy myself ... Read More Rating: - Why I love this movieI saw this originally at the movies, and was amazed at the incredibly believable performance by young Haley Joel Osment who plays a child terrified for too long on the verge of losing his fragile young mind. Just before the end of the story I was very frustrated feeling that the Director had cheated on the mystery of the story, until it did actually end, then of course it was "Oh, I see!", my wife who left at the beginning to call the kids at home was very angry, and feeling cheated until I explained ...
