Summary: Psychological Thriller
Review: Each actor/actress in this film had a brilliant performance. The dialogue and flow of the movie made this suspenseful film an instant classic. This psychological thriller lives up to the hype it received and it does not disappoint.

Throughout the movie - you are a washed with clues as to the future happenings of the story. Many people don't pick up on the clues until the end of the movie. Even knowing that the clues are being shown to you - most people cannot figure out the ending. I've watched this film several times and each time, I see something new.

I recommend buying this film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Overrated
Review: I did not see the Sixth Sense in the theatre, I waited for the video release. After six months of hype and Oscar nominations and "I see dead people" ads, I was led to beleive that this was going to be the next Exorcist. How wrong I was. True, there were a few gasps in the movie, but nothing ever made my pulse race or scream like The Exorcist or Silence of the Lambs.It's good to see once and then put away for a while because once you know the ending, nothing makes you want to see it again.If you want to break out in a cold sweat, get the afformentioned Exorcist or SOTL, you won't be disappointed

Summary: Great Film - Bad DVD
Review: I downrated this otherwise excellent DVD because Disney makes you sit through four trailers before the movie starts. Your menu button is locked out, so you can't opt out. I don't mind watching trailers in a movie theater where the cost of the ticket is $8 and I will see the movie once or twice at most, but I do mind them on a DVD that I will repeatedly watch and that lists for nearly $30! I won't own any DVD that forces me to sit through material other than the movie every single time I watch it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD is a great value, but the movie is...eh?
Review: Not being a Willis fan I avoided seeing this movie until it reached the 250 million level, and mostly because it was nominated for Best Picture. I kept seeing references to a "Sixth Sense style of plot twist" in reviews of other movies so I'm sure I would have enjoyed the ending a lot more if I'd seen it earlier because after the first scene it's pretty obvious what the "twist" is. I spent the rest of the movie noticing the technique of the screenwriter and the director - a little distracting to be sure.

I was not impressed with this movie - it certainly doesn't deserve a best picture nom, but Oscar marketing being what it is nowadays - but it does have it's moments. My favorite scene is near the end where the kid tells his mom about the dance (?) recital. Pretty manipulative, but very effective thanks to Toni Colette.

The DVD package of extras is excellent. I rented the DVD just for the extras and didn't bother watching the movie again.

Let me ask a question: when Willis goes to see the kid at his house, and is sitting in the living room with the mom, doesn't he think it's strange that she doesn't know that he's even there. Did she answer the door when he knocked? I mean, he's dead, right? So she wouldn't see... anyway. Maybe this is the kind of thing I'm supposed to suspend disbelief for but...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enjoy Sixth Sense to its Maximum Potential
Review: Although is a thriller movie is Good though. If you haven't seen it, It would be a good idea to stop reading any more reviews. Since the movie is unveiling mysteries as it develops, you should not know any of these ahead of time by reading reviews. It has good acting and decent effects. Perhaps the best part of the movie is the way it finishes. Have a good day!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I see dead marketing directors!
Review: The "movie" is great, but they RUINED the DVD with endless previews/trailers that you CANNOT skip over! For that, the "DVD" gets zero stars if I could. If you are to jam a DVD with worthless previews that you do not have at least the decent respect of the option of skipping, then I expect a 75% deduction off the list price. Or I will never buy another DVD from this production company again. They have joined the moronic ranks of DISNEY in the DVD dept. You are hated in every sixth sense of the word.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extraordinary Film, Osmet is astonishing
Review: The Sixth Sense is an incredible film: well directed, well filmed, with an intense score, wonderful settings, and of course, brilliant acting on the part of Haley Joel Osmet. It passes over the blood and guts thriller style of 'scary movies' and is instead a deeply dramatic psychological thriller that gives the viewer a most unsettled feeling. Willis delivers one of his best performances to date. The supporting cast is fantastic and of course, Osmet simply amazed me. This young actor portrayed Cole Sear with depth and range far beyond his years and experience. The basic story premise may not be the most original or complex but it is handled with superb skil, creating an emotional tour de force film. It's gripping, chilling, and of course, unsettling and best of all, it only gets better with multiple viewings!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: after two thousand years....
Review: ...finally a film that takes the dead seriously instead of demonizing them into bad guys out to frighten the living. Finally a film that asks the right question: what do the passed-on ones want of us? To be photographed and examined? Scoffed? Ignored? Pigeonholed as evil spirits? Sold as tourists attractions? Or perhaps...perhaps, like us who still live, they just want to be noticed, their unfinished business carried a little for them? In this film one brave boy learns to do that, and I hope we see a sequel.
