Summary: Excellent movie, don't pass this one up.
Review: Although I went to see this movie expecting more of a horror movie(more gore), and more special effects, I was NOT disappointed. On the contrary, I was floored by a very powerful story. The plot was written with incredible detail and the performances were commendable. Osment stole the show, and in my humble opinion he sold us the story. Willis notable did not steal any scenes and played it straight up. Set aside some extra time when sitting to watch this, you will certaintly want to watch it again.

Summary: The best thought provoking film I have seen.
Review: It may seem like an exageration, but this film kept me thinking months after I seen it in the theaters. Its not a slasher film, so the "horror" film catagory might be misleading to some. This is truly a movie that will scare you in a different way, and have you thinking about it for years to come. Great movie and the cast was excellent. If you buy any movie from 1999, let it be this one.

Summary: The Best Thriller I've Seen in a Long Time
Review: The Sixth Sense is a movie that will grab you and pull you in, keeping you on the edge of your seat until the surprise ending that will leave you stunned and speechless. Not since the movie "Seven" has a surprise ending completely shocked and moved me. I had to see this movie twice; once when I was entirely unaware what was going to happen and a second time to see how the pieces truly fit. Bruce Willis, who does have a tendency to pick typecast roles, gives an excellent performance as a child psychiatrist fighting his own demons, and Haley Joel Osment is one of the best child actors I have ever seen. He played perfectly a kid who was extremely frightened by what he saw, but who tried to remain strong for the sake of his mother. This movie is thrilling and frightening, and at the same time very moving, especially with the relationship between Osment and his mother. This is definitely a movie to own.

Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: This movie is loosely based on a low-budget 1962 cult classic called "Carnival of Souls." The two movies are somewhat different, but their endings reveal the same surprize. For me, The Sixth Sense was less like a horror movie, and more like a really good episode of Twilight Zone. Lots of atmosphere, and a great surprize ending. Even if you're not a horror movie fan, and don't much care about stories about the supernatural (like myself) you'll still probably get a kick out of this movie. Why 4 stars and not 5? Too much Hollywood style attempted manipulation of the viewers emotions. But then again some people like that. I mean, look how popular movies like "Independence Day" became. Now that was a bad movie.

Summary: SENSE-sational: THE SIXTH SENSE
Review: Without a doubt, one of the most technically perfect scripts I've seen in years. Every aspect is brilliantly conceived and beautifully developed. If only EVERY movie would deliver on its promises like THE SIXTH SENSE - we'd begin an whole new era of HOLLYWOOD CLASSIC films. One Caveat: Pay attention as you watch this terrific film unfold or you'll regret it!

Summary: Hauntingly Original Thriller Masterpiece
Review: Bruce Willis turns in his best performance yet as a child psychologist helping a young boy (Forrest Gump's son -- a talented young actor, whatever his name is) deal with his "sixth sense," an ability to see dead people. The boy is a strange genius and the psychologist a tortured workaholic, forever changed after a former patient made an attempt on the good doctor's life before taking his own. Seeking redemption for failing to cure the gunman, the doctor tries to help the haunted boy discover why the ghosts come visiting and how to send them on their way.This intelligent suspense thriller becomes one of the greats by tapping into your psyche and plucking nerves with startling effectiveness -- rather than bludgeoning your head with blood and gore until all five conventional senses are blunted. The ghost sightings are occasional and relatively subtle overall, leaving you on the edge until finally seeing them in full force sets off an adrenaline rush hard enough to knock you out of your seat. By seeing the apparitions through the young boy's eyes we become fearful little children watching our nightmares come true even as we huddle with the protagonist under a tent of bedsheets with a flashlight. Intelligent writing and sharp cinematography create an eerie atmosphere that carries all the way through to a surprise twist at the end. It's just ... exquisite. PS: If you like this, try "Stir of Echoes" with Kevin Bacon. Same basic theme, except Bacon's character ends up with 'the gift.' Came out a couple months behind "Sixth Sense." Much darker, not quite as good, still worthwhile.

Summary: Extremely Overrated
Review: I haven't seen so many pre-teens bicker the value of a movie since Titanic. The reviews here are very polarized, which can only mean one thing: over-rated. In one corner, there are the masses of people that swear up and down that they absolutely adored the movie and that they got all they could get out of it (naive, naive). Then of course there are those cynical wanna-be individuals that give everything one-star ratings just to bring the average down. They mainly critique mediocre movies that are hailed by the teenage crowd as the best ever. Because of this, the masses tend to believe that their review is 'not helpful', subsequently causing it to fly off the main page. I usually agree with them the unfortunate few, albeit not so passionately. The Sixth Sense is such a case. Everything in it is overblown, overrated, same-old same-old. Bruce Willis is asleep. Osment is a brat. You want the ghosts to eat him. They take up all the screen space, leavong lovely Ms. Willims with an underwritten, pretty stupid-in-itself part that gives her little to work with, though she plays it off very nicely. It is over-directed by the way. Too many pretentious pans and grotesquely-stylized shots end all suspense in unneccessarily disgusting visuals. The story is plotholes, plotholes, plotholes... Especially the ending. It practically undoes everything the story was trying to say. And that is all I care to say about that.

Summary: Excellent, mind boggling movie
Review: This movie was mind twisting and thought provoking. The acting was very good and the plot came with a great twist. I was even given hints about the plot and was continually second guessing myself. I wouldn't consider this movie to be a horror film, but it is very suspenseful and very intriguing. A must-see-film.

Summary: More Suspenseful than Blair Witch--Best Film of 1999
Review: This is probably one of Bruce Willis' best film performance since Die Hard (Probably worth an Oscar Nomination). The 1st hour drags, but the rest of it is pure suspense, with some unexpected twists and turns. I didn't go back and see it after the ending surprised me, but I'm definitely renting (with the possibility of buying) the movie again to see what I've missed.
