Summary: How To Get Maximum Enjoyment Out Of "The Sixth Sense"
Review: As most of you know, "The Sixth Sense" is a movie that's not like any other. It's a movie that requires you to be thinking every step of the way to understand the movie while the hairs on your arm are standing on end. So to first-timers, here are some steps to fully enjoy the movie:1. SET THE ATMOSPHERE. Before you watch the movie, wait until night, open the window, turn off the lights, and turn off the thermostat. This way you'll be thrilled and chilled the way the movie did to moviegoers in theatres. 2. KEEP A MENTAL BACKLOG. Unlike most movies, where you just shut your brain off, in "The Sixth Sense" you should leave it on. In the first half of the movie, things are said and events transpire. But most of those things that the characters say and do, and most of the events that happen, will be linked to a future event in the movie. So, if you see or hear something in the movie that seems to echo in your mind, or somehow sees unsolved, don't assume anything and leave it like that until the end, because the movie may solve it for you. 3. LOOK FOR CLUES. For first-timers, in the movie, there will be an ending that may take you completley be surprise. To get a hunch of the ending, pay attention through the movie for clues. Pay attention to how Malcolm interacts with people, and how Cole reacts when he sees Malcolm, or what he says to him. Because if the clues in the movie don't tip you off, the way Cole tries to tip Malcolm off will. Also, look for clues that indicate something very suspenseful is about to happen. The first thing to look for is the color red. If you see red where it stands out more than just a prop or piece of clothing, hang on to your seat. Something you won't expect may happen. So, for first timers, that's basically what you should try to do while watching the movie to enjoy it to its fullest.

Summary: Let's Twist Again!
Review: And I thought good movies were all gone. I first approached Sixth Sense only as a welcome relief from movies saturated with gratuitous sex and Hollywood match-making. Was I pleasantly surprised! The movie had such a fantastic plot and character dynamics, it was gripping from the beginning. Even stoic macho men are curious to find out how he little Ghost Watcher will be cured of his problem. The twist at the end comes unexpectedly and suddenly! It's worked very well into the fabric of the story and only someone who knows the secret can see the hints throughout the film (at which point they seem almost blatantly obvious!) As a DVD, the included extras add a great deal of depth to the movie and increased my respect for the director and writer, M. Night Shyamalan. I eagerly await his next creation.

Summary: Wow!
Review: Add me to the list of impressed reviewers. Bruce Willis does something completely out of character. He doesn't shoot anyone. He might even be considered a wuss. Someone breaks into his house and he points out to them that there are no drugs or needles around, and he will call the police if necessary. I just had to shake my head, seeing that. By the way, he did a great job of it. You believed that he was a child psychologist who had just received an award from a grateful city. Haley Joel Osmet was a compelling, but strange, 9 year old. When he explains his 'gift' to his mother, I... hm. It just inspired this giant nameless emotion in me. In retrospect, I'm just in awe that it could happen. This movie just did everything "more" than other movies. The gore wasn't terribly gory, but it did grab you (me anyway, but I'm a wimp that way). The ending was... just amazing. Suddenly, it all makes sense and you look back over the movie and say, "It fit, and I was fooled. I didn't see it, but it's so obvious now that I know." Second viewing is mandatory.

Summary: Even better than the theatre!
Review: The extra footage given on the making of The Sixth Sense and interviews with the director make this DVD well worth it. It's a great story and you'll definitely pick up on some of the "hidden" techniques they used while producing the movie. Everytime I watch it (and believe me, I've seen it quite a few times) I'm stunned at Haley Joel Osment's acting. He's definitely going to be one to watch. Marvelous!

Summary: Chicken Soup for the Horror Movie Fan
Review: Finally, a horror movie that does not offer us screaming teenagers and scary dudes with big knives. No, The Sixth Sense uses traditional horror movie method to get you reaching for the cushions. The viewer is teased and cajoled through a creepy, enthralling and utterly real experience led by 9 year old Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) and child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis). Willis gives the performance of his career, finally revealing a talent for the emotional subtleties demanded of his role. You'll find no close-ups of a sweat-and-blood soaked face here! Haley Joel Osment has achieved the type of critical and popular acclaim that Macaulay Culkin could never have dreamed of. His portrayal is so compelling and real that once the movie is over, you find yourself missing his face. Never a more frightened child will you see! For those who have found yourselves looking for a horror movie that is scary rather than just plain ugly or if you spent twenty years mourning the death of Alfred Hitchcock - your relief is here.

Summary: best movie
Review: I have to say that this is the best movie I have ever seen in a theatre. When I watched it on DVD I say again this is the best movie I have ever seen. From beginning to end it had me. My eyes were glued to the screen and I could pay attention. The acting was so great and so real that I didn't even think of them as actors. I'm not one who believes in ghosts in that sense any way but I still think it was a very well written and produced movie. It is the only movie that I have left the movie theatre saying "I am going to see this again".

Summary: Extremely strong--if slightly overrated film
Review: I'll start out by saying that THE SIXTH SENSE was one of the most effectively creepy and affecting movies of its year. Bruce Willis gave a surprisingly capable performance, and Haley Joel Osment did an excellent job of handling a very difficult role. The success of this movie did seem a slight bit overwhelming though. To me this is a good but not great movie. My first problem with this movie was (don't read on if you haven't seen the movie), is that aside from the clever gimmick of the ending (which reflects back if you watch the movie again), this is a strong but standard thriller film. It's well written, but not particularly creative, and the end gimmick, as compared to say, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, is really kind of pointless if you really think about (more than anything, it shows the craft of a smart screenwriter). And finally, this movie suffered from a lack of buzz compared to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, as both came out at similar times. THE SIXTH SENSE, came out without a great deal of hype, soon after the aggressively marketed BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. As a result, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (which I feel is much creepier and disturbing) suffered from a backlash, while this movie came out at the perfect time to recieve the opposite. Anyways, I do like this movie a great deal. And, it's definitely a movie that should be seen more than once. But "One of the best films ever made?" Please. This is an entertaining and worthwhile film, but it is a bit overrated.

Summary: A GRIPPING MOVIE...
Review: & that was how we ended up watching the movie...my husband & I were gripping each other's hands too tightly. It was scary with its well selected scenes but it was far from being gory compared with other horror movies. This is one hype movie I didn't regret watching. It stayed in my mind long after watching it, & I had to turn the lights on everytime I went to the restroom at the wee hours of the night :-)

Summary: A real thriller
Review: To paraphrase a critic's review I had read, this is one of those rare thrillers that actually thrills. It was very creepy and extremely well-executed, and I thought it was one of the best films of 1999.

Summary: Worth the $$$
Review: This is one of those movies which is great not only the first time around, but perfect for watching again several times. Each time you catch more than you did the last, and it's always entertaining.
