The Sixth Sense
Writing a review of a film you've seen at least three times is actually more difficult than you'd think. Writing any review of this film is difficult anyway due to the chances of spoiling the story. So I'm going to skip most of the plot and stick to other things I can tell you about.
Bruce Willis gives a very measured performance as a child psychologist. He is very understated, and always believable. Toni Collette and Haley Joel Osment on the other hand get to act their hearts out, crying and screaming and being totally convincing as a single parent family that is falling apart.
This is a ghost story, and is chilling and scary in places. The music and cinematography are skillfully handled to create shocks in the right places.
The director Shyamalan kick-started his career here with what is still his best film, and one you'll want to watch again and again.
