Summary: Sixth Sense.....but 1st Choice!
Review: As you watch little Haley Joel Osment mutter that he sees 'Dead People' you wonder what kind of tale you're going to get into, could this be horror, psychological drama or what. As things start off, it leaves you very mixed about what is going on, the start is action packed - but you have little idea of why.When I watched this film, I got to a point in the story where I wasn't sure what exactly the film was trying to achieve. It was as if it had the potential to go somewhere - but wasn't quite doing it. There were seemingly so many areas that didn't fit - or didn't make sense, but the ending is where that is cleared up and much more. The ending has to be seen to be believed, it leaves you gasping with amazment as you realise what you'd been seeing was not really what was happening in the film - it was basically a distorted view of the lead character - Bruce Willis. The thing that makes this movie such a hit is the way it leaves you open mouthed and shocked at the twist at the end, with no prior warning the film leaves you with multiple unanswered questions, and clears up the scraps from earlier on. Is this not what a good movie should do? Away from the storyline, the acting is brilliant, Bruce Willis is the major character actor here, but supporting performances from the little Osment and the supporting cast are first rate. The way Osment manages to portray an emotional scene in the car with his on screen mother makes you wonder just how much talent this little boy has. This movie doesn't appeal to one SECTOR of the fim audience as so many movies do. You don't have to like a particular style of movie to enjoy this, as it panders to all needs. A rare movie that is universally popular, and you don't need to sit there thinking before watching this movie 'Will this be my type of movie' it will. The only possible shortfall of the movie is that it stutters along a times, trying to mask the holes that would inevitably appear due to the knowledge you lack as a viewer, before all is explained in the end. But this can easily be over-looked, as you are left feeling as if you have just exited that all too enjoyable movie rollercoater.

Summary: The best twist ever!
Review: This review pertains particularly to the DVD version of this film because even though I'd seen 'Sixth Sense' twice at the cinema, the DVD purchase was still worth it because of its great extras. I particularly loved the 'Rules and Clues' segment which explained how the famous twist had to be believable for both the first and second viewings. Some were obvious but some were pretty obscure and admittedly, maybe I'm a little dim, but I think the editors gave their viewers a little too much credit in the fine-detail detective work! We didn't know we had any reason to be looking for clues! Fascinating stuff anyway. The 'deleted scenes' were also great to see and quite considerable in content. You kind of agree with the reasons for the deletions but understand the angst at having to remove such great scenes. The DVD is worth it just to see those extra moments between Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis. And how ever many times it's been said, I have to add to the tributes to Haley Joel Osment and say that his portrayal of Cole was flawless. You felt the weight of the world on his shoulders and the ending was as much as a salvation for the the viewer as it was for him. Haley has a distinguished career ahead of him, if this film is any reflection of his future.

Summary: Not Like Any Other Movie Today
Review: I first saw this film with a friend of mine last summer. It was reccomended to me by my friend Chad, who had had an encounter with the film a day before, and informed me that "it should of been rated "R". (See Chad's reviews at KISSROCKS63). THE SIXTH SENSE gets it right on every element. Story, Acting, Cinematography, Music score, film editing, and production design. A truely moving film, that will hook you, and keep you hooked for a little more than an hour and a half. The dvd release is superb, and their are no complaints in sound or picture quality. The extras are very enlightening, and are as entertaining as the film itself. My personal favorite is the director's very first video, which is, well, scary, in a different kind of way. The story is enveloping, and Haley Joel Osment is outstanding, along with the rest of the cast. Toni Collet plays her role very well, and one finds it easy to smpythize with her. I have seen the film several times by now, but every time I watch it, I watch it with someone else, and seeing it thru their eyes is truely exhilirating. Now if I could only get my mother to see it... Few movies today have the power to give me goosebumps and shivers, THE SIXTH SENSE is an exception. I have yet to see a more well crafted film this year. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: This movie is a five-letter word....S-C-A-R-Y!
Review: OK, when this movie came out last August, I didn't understand the hype. I thought it was just a bunch of people going to see Haley Joel Osment say "I see dead people...". Well, I ignored it, until it came out on DVD. That was when all my friends were saying "You've got to see this movie!" and "It isn't scary!" Remind me never to listen to my friends again. I rented it on DVD, thinking no movie can scare me, I triumphantly put the disc in, pressed play, watched the TV Guide Channel until the unskippable previews were over, and then I started it. I was in for a major shock. This movie is SO much more than "I see dead people" believe me! It's full of heart-stopping horror and couch-gripping suspense that left me hyperventaliting throughout half of the movie. I was actually praying for a non-scary part to come up, like the church part in the beginning. And before the "lady in the kitchen" sequence, when the temperature on the thermostat started to drop, I stopped it and actually had to take a break! After the movie was over, I was looking over my shoulder a lot, it took me a while to blink, and I had nightmares for the next 2 nights! After that, I shook it off. So, as you can see, if you haven't seen this movie yet, if ANYONE tells you this movie is not scary, they most likely didn't see the movie at all. But aside from the remarkable horror in the movie, what impressed me was Haley Joel Osment. He really worked hard for this role, I can tell! According to M. Night Shyamalan, Haley went from memorizing the script, to banging his head against the stage walls in scenes where he had to look dazed. That's acting for you! I can't wait to see Haley in his next movie. And as for the rest, Bruce Willis was naturally made for this role, because he always seems to blend right in, Toni Collette and Olivia Williams play an excellent supporting cast, and Donnie Wahlberg just spellbound me as Vincent Grey. I had no idea he lost that much weight for his role! So in other words, if you think no horror flick can possibly scare you, I dare you to see this movie.

Summary: On-The-Edge-Of-Your-Seat Intense!
Review: This movie was awesome! I'm not into scary stuff, but with all the good things I had heard about the movie, ...I just had to see for myself. Everything I heard was true! It exceeded my expectations! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, biting my lip with anticipation! I was blown away by the surprise ending - I so didn't see that one coming! Must-see more than once! Get your money out because this is one you will want to own!

Summary: Rated 5 stars for enjoyment value
Review: On the whole, this movie may not be a 5 star picture. It seems rather sentimental and kind of makes me think of Ghost. The performances are very good, but maybe not exceptional. But here's the thing: This is an extremely entertaining film. The quality of the DVD is excellent. And I highly recommend this film to anyone. This one's really fun to watch, but the sentimental at heart may need a tissue on hand. What the heck, go ahead and buy it!

Summary: Mediocre movie, well overrated.
Review: The artwork for this movie claims The Sixth Sense is 'the #1 thriller of all time'. Quite where that came from I don't know. While the box-office may have had something to do with it, the actual movie itself is nowhere near as good as the hype makes out. The plot is simple: weird kid sees ghosts and uses his powers to help them. Harvey Joel Osmont and Bruce Willis do put in superb performances but even so, this movie is only mediocre. The budget seems to have been blown on hiring Bruce Willis. What was left was spent on makeup for the two or three ghosts we see. This movie isn't for me - it's too slow and I didn't find it frightening or interesting - but I can see that some people might like it. My advice would be to rent it before you buy it. The DVD is very good, with lots of worthwhile extras. The director says in one of the interviews that the biggest audience was 'young boys and older women'. Perhaps a movie only for the spiritually minded among us. The huge box office takings can only really be because of the surprise ending. It really isn't as clever as has been made out. The plot twist was obvious to me right from the second or third scene. Without the plot twist, I doubt anyone would have gone to see this movie. This movie is not a terrible film; just mediocre. I was expecting more, and unfortunately it didn't deliver.

Summary: Awful
Review: This movie was horrible! I cannot believe it was nominated for Best Picture. That nomination should have gone to a much better movie like "Being John Malkovich" or "Boys Don't Cry." This movie was very predictible and the kid was really annoying. The line "I see dead people." just gets stupider every time you hear it. And this movie was so DULL! Don't waste your money. Grade: F
