Summary: A DVD so well designed it's disturbing.
Review: This DVD is a very well-designed DVD, because it has several qualities that will send a chill down your spine that were put there through a creative DVD production team or completley by accident. First of all, this movie is converted to widescreen animorphically, and not through letterbox, which is a definete first for Buena Vista, because it creates better picture quality and more room for extras, like animated menus, featurettes, and much other stuff. It's something they should of thought of a long time ago. But here's the eerie part: the best way to get maximum picture clarity is watching the movie IN THE DARK. Watching scary flicks in the dark virtually doubles the "chill-o-meter" in your spine. Accident or a clever design? You decide... And second of all, the picture quality of this DVD enhances significantly THE COLOR RED. In the "Rules And Clues" featurette, M. Night Shyamalan says he used lots of red in this movie on purpose, because it symbolizes pain, or anguish, or torture, even. (examples: The sweater Cole wears when he is locked into a crawl space and beat up by a dead person was red, and Cole's "escape" tent was red, and Cole's violent free-association writing was red). So why do you think the quality of the picture ENHANCES the red? The interactive menus also send a chill down your spine as well. The only flaw of this DVD's brilliant design was, as you know, the mandatory previews. But the key to avoiding them is to either fast-forward them or keep this DVD in your player as long as possible before you have to take it out for one reason or another. So, in short, if you love very well-designed DVDs that so perfectly compliment very well-designed movies, get this on DVD, just watch out for those previews.

Summary: Super COOL DVD!
Review: The movie is really great, just check the other reviews on the movie itself. For best effects, watch it in a dark room (or at night) and make sure that the room is cold. I wanna emphasize just how COOL the DVD is. First is the menu which by itself will give the viewer chills - very haunting. Now the BEST part of the DVD. It contains deleted scenes with an extended ending - each with explanations by the director on why they were deleted. It also contains this Rules and Clues portion that discusses the rules they followed in making the scenes for consistency and the clues they placed to slowly reveal the secret of the movie - all with explanations. Other DVDs just have written explanation for deleted scenes. In this DVD, videos of the director, writer, producer, etc. did the explanations. Of course the theatrical trailer and the 30 & 15 second TV spots add to the value of the DVD aside from the other extras. It's one of those "The way a DVD should be made" type of DVDs.

Summary: Finally - A decent movie
Review: I don't just mean decent as in "good" - I mean decent as in one that doesn't insult intellegence, one you can watch with family and friends without feeling uncomfortable. It provokes great conversation and leaves you wanting to see it again. It doesn't need tons of special effects to be attractive - its story, characters and subject matter grab and keep your attention. No blood, guts or mass murders here, finally a decent movie that is as enjoyable to watch the second time as it is the first (sometimes even better!) Highly recommend for those of you who are sick of the same ol' same ol'.

Summary: Surprisingly good with great DVD additions
Review: For some reason I missed this movie at the theaters, and somehow I managed to avoid learning about "the surprise ending." The movie captured my curiosity quickly and completely, and I agree with someone else's post here that I had a sense that something was wrong or was missing--the revelation at the end reveals that something IS missing, and I think it was a wonderful technique to create a sense of suspense and curiosity. The kid (Haley Joel Osment) is really good; it's so rare to see child actors who are that convincing. There is a scene in a car near the end where the kid convinces his Mom that he really does "see dead people," and it's done so well that it reduced the two grown men watching the movie to simpering crybabies. (It's a very emotional scene, especially if you've lost a family member any time soon.) I usually see "surprise endings" coming a mile away, but I missed this one, and enjoyed the process of its revelation--then the pieces fell together and I realized why some earlier elements were so off-putting. There are also some excellent "extras" on the DVD version, including scenes cut from the final film with explanations why (I'm not sure I agree that some should have been cut); and some early home-made movies by the director when he was a kid that are hilarious while still indicating the talent that would bloom later.

Summary: Sixth Sense - Different
Review: I'm normally quite good at guessing film endings. This one had me completely baffled. If you like a good thriller with a touch of the unexplained then I recommend this wholeheartedly. Non Bruce Willis fans do not be put off, this is a big departure from his normal stuff....A classic in the making.

Summary: First Rate Movie -- some problems with the DVD (not VHS)
Review: The movie is haunting and worthy of the Academy's attention. Bruce Willis and Haley Joel are perfect for both the roles. The movie is engrossing from the first and successfully carries one to the ending. It is an ususual mix of horror and tear-jerking. I bought the DVD on purpose because I like the DVD format with its Menu showing up first. Then I can fuss with settings etc if I like; watch the extras; and choose when to start the movie. I returned the DVD for exchange because I was certain it was defective. The second DVD behaved identically. It's almost as though the VHS version was dumped to DVD. The Menu was not able to be shown first. First one went through the FBI warnings, then we were forced to watch Previews, and then the movie started. Only once the movie began, was it possible to select Menu. The DVD suddenly went blank at the end of Chapter 10. This happens each and every time. One must forceably kick in Chapter 11. I returned the DVD and got a second brand new DVD. It behaved the same way. I hate not having the ability to start a DVD at Menu. Something is wrong in how this DVD was programmed.

Summary: Impressive
Review: This was an impressive movie from almost every facit. Generally speaking I don't care for Bruce Willis' films, but recently he seems to be remaking his image into a more caring, gentle persona. This film appears to be one of those efforts and is overwhelmingly successful. Young Osment is a joy to watch. Quite evidently a precocious child when seen interviewed on Opera and other talk shows, he is a consumate actor and puts his character across well. The plot of the film is tightly woven, with the ending so thoroughly unsuspected and delightful, that I actually went to go through it again to see if there was any evidence for "cheating" or goofs; there weren't. The special effects are used with restraint and only when integral to the plot, furthering a prescribed goal rather than used to make up for difficiencies as they are often used in other films. All in all, a very polished film and a pleasure to watch.

Summary: This Changes "The Oscar Goes To.." to "And The Big deal Is?"
Review: This was one of the several movies that got many nominations that I'd seen before Oscar night. It was also one of the worst that was nominated for many. Surely Osment deserves accolades for his performance, but it was, overall, a repetitive, dry film. (Osment, by himself, was the only reason this got 3 stars as opposed to 2). We clearly get the point by the middle of the two hours that he sees dead people and something is wrong with him, but, in a time management move comparative to that of The Cider House Rules, Osment continues to see dead people for about an hour too long; it would have made a very nice short picture. But no, no, no! We're going to have a nice long movie that we can shove enough dead people in to call a thriller and make thousands of bottoms across America fall asleep while watching! Not only the fact that it progresses into borderline boredom, but that I never thought the ending to be that great! Oooh so he was dead the whole time, what's the point? It's a nice little twist but nothing as good as how reviewers here have glorified it. It was a moderate film with a moderate ending. Many characters, as well, with the omission of Willis' character, develop much throughout the story. Holes in the accuracy make up for another part as why so-called horror flicks shouldn't be up for awards. Lucky to get 3 stars.
