Rating: Summary: DVD Goes One Better Review: If you saw this movie in the theater and liked it, then you're a great candidate for the DVD. It gives you great background on on the writer/director (Spielberg is not the only prodigy working in film today), and also brings you into the production process--sound design, music creation, alternate ending. When I saw this movie first in the theater I knew it was an instant classic; when I saw this DVD, I knew it was a worthy release to memorialize this extraordinary film's creation process and final product. You will like it.
Rating: Summary: It chills your blood! Review: This is probably one of the best psychological thrillers ever made! The story, the foreshadows, and the ending will keep your heart pounding!There are people that have the mistaken assumption that this is a horror movie, well, it is not. Horror movies in general have poor acting and are badly written, but this intense thriller is thought-provoking and disarming. Bruce Willis did a wonderful job playing the child psychologist who helps the haunted and tormented little boy face his fear. The ending is incredible; you're going to have see it for yourself! Overall, one of the best films I've seen in recent months. The DVD version is a must-have!
Rating: Summary: whats with the previews? Review: very nicley done, even without to much special effects. but was very disappointed to see mandatory previews. i hope this isnt the future of dvd.
Rating: Summary: Somewhat disappointing... Review: I got to the end of 'The 6th sense' still waiting for something frightening, or even mildly thrilling, to happen... Not a bad movie per se, but the way it was hyped I expected much more. The acting, however, is superb. As the plot unfolds, the movie swaps genres, getting from horror to thriller to social drama to tear-jerker, making it sometimes confusing and difficult to understand where the director is trying to take you. The ending, whether or not it comes as a surprise, is rather disappointing. All in all, it made me think of some remake of 'Always', 'Ghost' or 'City of Angels', all based on the theme of the dead trying to communicate with the living. 'Stir of Echoes' with Kevin Bacon, based on a similar theme, is less ambitious but, in my opinion, more efficient. All in all, 'the 6th sense' is a fun movie but still far from coming even close to being one of last year's best.
Rating: Summary: A true rarity: A deserving blockbuster. Review: The Sixth Sense starts off with a very dreary, almost purely expository scene that screams out to the audience who the main character is, what's his situation, and what his relationship to his wife is. When I saw that scene, I started preparing myself for a movie lacking in slyness, subtlety, and pacing. I'm glad to say my initial perception was wrong. Once Haley Joel Osment enters the picture; once Bruce Willis' character starts on his course; once the tension sets in, The Sixth Sense begins to pack a wallop. The gold-standard performances from the three top-billed actors Willis, Osment and Toni Collette are already enough to make the film dramatically involving, all three holding back on overemoting and opting for strength and nuance. The script is hypnotic, the camerawork carefully considered, and the final suckerpunch one of the best in cinematic history. Once you see it, you can think back and realize how difficult it must've been to set it up, how many restrictions that placed on scenes involving the protagonist, and how well it worked. Finally, the greatest triumph of The Sixth Sense is to bring the supernatural horrors so close to home that they become normalized. Osment's reactions to his visions are so real that even though the film draws from the well of the supernatural thriller, a genre that's becoming increasingly dated, none of the impact is lost. Another lesson to the new horror filmmakers who use Scream and Urban Legend as standards for horror: It's never "who" did what that terrifies, but "how"; it's not gore, torture, loud music, car crashes and weird-shaped weapons, but atmosphere and character identification.
Rating: Summary: WOW Review: OK I only give out 5 * to the really great movies. This being one of them. I think it is one of the best psychological thrillers I've ever seen. And the end was great. The DVD also includes many extra features that will keep you entertained with extra footage, and interviews. The only downfall is the trailers at the beginning of the disk. But oh well. A great movie
Rating: Summary: KILLER THRILLER Review: This movie is one of my personal favorites because of the real-life suspense you feel like you are in. This movie will almost make you not want to stay in any place alone. Like sometimes when I go to the theater to see a movie and my friend has to leave for something, I get scared someone is going to come up from one of the seats below me. The story and the ending were so creative it makes you want to watch the movie again just to look at the small details, and there is always something that you miss. Take my word for it that if you love thriller movies you better get this title. The movies major suspense will have you glued to your seat. That is until something moves though.
Rating: Summary: GREAT DELETED SCENES Review: I loved the movie! I have never seen it before and the pleasure of having a DVD with my sound system made it better then the movies! The quality is unbelievable and the deleted scenes were great! There were so many extras in the movie like the delted scenes and you find out why some things are red (there is a reason) and all this other great stuff. I would definitely recomend this DVD.
Rating: Summary: A HAUNTING AND SUPERB CLASSIC Review: Whether you are a fan of thrillers or not, this is definitely one movie that cannot be missed. The ending is very dramatic, emotional and extremely surprising. Once you see it, you'll absolutely will want to see it again. Both of the main actors give a stunning performance, and it is no surprise why this movie is considered to be one of the best.
Rating: Summary: More Boos for the previews Review: I, too, am incensed at the previews of insipid films at the start of this DVD. Adding insult to injury, you can't even use the STOP button on the player! How rude! And the person who said these films will be forgotten in three years is correct...maybe three months is more like it. I sat through the previews in the theater, I should NOT have to sit through them in my own home! Four stars for the movie (I did like it) but negative 10 for the DVD. How dare they!
