Summary: UPLIFTING
Review: Cole Sear (played wonderfully by Haley Joel Osment) is always hiding behind the "magnificent red curtain". Unable to comfortably associate with his peers, he has accepted the delegated task of the minor player, the victim, the bullied. Only when Sear tried to accept his 'fate', with the help of child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (brilliantly acted by Bruce Willis), did he realise the many beautiful opportunities he could have. M. Night Shyamalan delivered, for me, an unusually uplifting suspense thriller. Sort of a 90s "Wizard of Oz". His craftmanship is superb. It was highly disappointing he failed to win the OSCAR Best Director trophy for The Sixth Sense. Australian actress Toni Collette, as Cole's mother, is wonderful in her minor role. She is a world-class actor, and the car scene with Osment would have to be one of the best acted scene in the history of the silver screen. Subtle yet powerful!!!

Summary: The Sixth Sense (1999)
Review: Director: M. Night Shyamalan.
Cast: Bruce Willis, Toni Collette, Olivia Williams, Haley Joel Osment, Glenn Fitzgerald.
Running Time: 108 minutes.
Rated PG-13 for ghastly scenes, violence, and mild language. "The Sixth Sense" is M. Night Shyamalan's first major studio directorial production, yet a rookie mistake is not present in this masterful ghost thriller that has become one of the most prestigous and talked-about horror-dramas of all time. The film begins with an up-and-coming child psychologist (Bruce Willis, in his most exceptional role to date) celebrating his new-found success with his wife (played by Olivia Williams). The night is going splendidly; however, a failed child of the psychologist takes his frustration out, shooting him before taking his own life. A year transpires after this horrific event, with Willis's character still trying to piece back the puzzle that was lost on that night. The psychologist meets a troubled youngster played by the Oscar-nominated Osment, who happens to have a special sense that allows him to see and speak to ghosts. At first terrifyed of the ghouls, Willis instructs the child to help the "dead people" instead of being afraid. The film is brilliantly directed and scripted, twisting and turning until the much-heralded resolution. While Willis and Osment's performances are hauntingly special, Toni Collette's role as the tormented mother of Osment is the shining star of the film, delivering a powerful performance. "The Sixth Sense" is a deep, terrifying look into the world of the supernatural, but unfolds into a film about faith, love, and unbridled second chances. A soulful masterpiece that will send chills up spines.

Summary: SHYAMALAN'S FIRST GREAT FILM
Review: I never did see this in theatres but saw it on VHS. I was scared to death when i first saw it. Everything was creepy. You didn't know what to expect throughout the whole film. I love this movie and watch it regularly just like Shyamalan's other film "Signs". I love Shyamalan's work. His movies are emotional and of course scary and you really get into the movie. I can't wait to see his new film "The Village". But BUY THIS DVD if you haven't yet. It's an AWESOME movie and will spook the hell out of you.

Summary: Haunting
Review: The first time you watch this film, you'll be shocked. The second time, you'll learn to look for all the clues. If you watch it more than twice, you'll spot pretend clues, and wonder if they mean anything. And eventually, you will know the film back to front. For first time watchers, this movie is terrific. It's almost terrifying to watch, and horrible to try and work out what exactly is happening to Cole, and also, the lovely Bruce Willis. If you watch carefully, you'll notice the colour red plays a big part in this movie, particularly when something's about to happen, or is happening. Although, after a while, you start noticing things that are red, that have nothing to do with danger (the mum quite often has red nail varnish and wears a red top in the last couple of scenes and there are red candles in the house). But just watching for these clues again had something to the movie that it didn't have the first time watching. Some people say that the film was so predictable, cos they knew from the opening scenes what was going to happen (when Malcolm, Bruce Willis' character, got shot). Well, it wasn't so obvious to me the very first time I watched it. However, films that are too predictable, are rubbish. I would have hated to have known all along what the ending was. Both Bruce & Haley (Joel Osment) are so cute in this movie. Don't know what it is about Brucie in this, he looks kinda rough sometimes, but it just adds to the whole loveliness of him! This is a movie that will stay with you for ages afterwards. Whether it was the constant emails, particularly after the Queen Mother died, with her picture in stills from the movie, or its repeats on TV - you'll be reminded of this great movie constantly. And I just have to hear "I see dead people", and it sends shivers up my spine with remembering the scene in the movie that it happens!

Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: M. Night Syamalan blew me away with the film: "The Sixth Sense". At first glance "The Sixth Sense" is just a creative horror film, but there is real genius here. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat with my palms sweating untill the end. But what sets "The Sixth Sense" apart from most other scary movies, are the depth of the characters and side-plots you would expect to find in an academy award winning drama. Also, the adrenaline rush doesn't wear off, the biggest shock of all is at the end of the movie. The skill with which Shyamalan wrote and directed this film, in my opinion, earns him a place beside Hitchcock and Spielberg.

Summary: Is there life after death?
Review: This was an incredibly good movie. Some of it is eerie and unbelieveable, other parts so beautiful with the scenery and people. Bruce Willis was certainly handsome, just like in THE KID. He works well with children. The thing I had trouble understanding when I viewed this film at the theater was his being able to interact with the child if he were dead. I kept wanting him to be alive and well. Apparently, the little boy was the only person to be able to see and talk with him. The strange things which continued to happen to the psychic kid were unusual to say the least. His acting was not juvenile but more on the adult level. He is a good little trouper. Dealing with the psychiatric deviants as this character had done in his professional life turned out to be dangerous and deadly. The director seems to delve into the inner workings of the minds of non-average misfits, and turns out a suspenseful and powerful story with a message.

Summary: Best quality movie hollywood can bring, must be the last one
Review: Bruce Willis's most famous role and the best suspense movie created, this movie will keep you at the edge of your seat. As the movie gets tenser every scene, you'll realize that it is worth watching, a collectors item because Hollywood don't produce great movies like this anymore.

Summary: I see dead people...walking around like regular people
Review: This movie has to be one of the best horror movies ever! Bruce Willis plays Dr. Malcom Crowe, a child psychiatrist. When he meets a nine year old kid named Cole Sear, played by Haley Joel Osment, he learns a secret about him that is very strange. Cole can see dead people. Now he must cooperate with Cole and find out why the dead people are bothering him so much. Kids and some adults may find the parts where you see a kid with a chunk of his head missing, where a dead girl is seen throwing up, and where a lady shown with her head smashed very disturbing. This movie has been Rated PG-13 for intense thematic material and some violent images.

Summary: The Weight of Cold Air
Review: This movie depends on two things. How much you figure out before it ends and how much you have invested yourself in this movie. The two go hand in hand. The truth is that many people figured out the ending within the first few minutes on the bases that they simply "heard" it had a great twist. It is actually not that hard to figure out even if you just hear the plot alone and couple that with the fact it has a twist. If you view this film without having heard anything beforehand you are in a much better position to enjoy it, but there is a margin out there who will get it and will only enjoy it because other people did not get it and there is some fun to be had in knowing that other people where played with. Do not believe for a moment that people who say they got it are lying about that. I know plenty of people who got it and the film thus did not have the desired impact that it retains throughout the whole slow affair for that final manipulation of the audience. The truth be told that the whole weight of this somewhat low-budget film is based on the twist. The actual production values are somewhat minimal. You can see that the producers of this flick had trimmed as much as they could on the budget knowing that the impact of the final reel would more than makeup for putting this flick out on the cost that it was made on. There was no risk involved in doing that but obviously it was a financial strategy that worked out for everybody involved. You can see that everyone was happy with the gamble and it paid off. Could you imagine if this film had a bunk ending or a twist that was not very good? The whole film then looks like Bruce Willis just hooked up with a film student for the hell of it. The actual acting on display here is not cutting edge but Haley Joel Osment does walk circles around everyone including Willis. Osment is a very important casting decision here. Without him it would loose some impact. The film's pace is dreadfully slow and it does stall at times. However if you are looking for a payoff then you will get a whooper of a payoff here, unless you fall into the marginal category who have got it and then must sit out the rest of this slow journey until your suspicions are finally unmasked. This is a great twist of a movie, but not such a great movie. Again the premise, plot and structure is based on that ending, a small gamble because of the strength of the twist, but still it leaves the vast majority of this movie somewhere around mediocre with limitations that do show themselves now and again. Sometimes the acting is actually not very good and is a little on the experimental "new" side which does not suite having an A-list actor at the helm. So the verdict here is five stars if you are oblivious to everything until the end but only three stars if you get it and must watch through the whole slow affair.
