The Sixth Sense (1999)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 107m
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Bruce Willis, Toni Collette, Olivia Williams, Haley Joel Osment
Synopsis:
A Philadelphian child counsellor is shot by one of his former patients and, as part of his rehabilitation, takes on the case of a boy who sees dead people in all their newfound distress.
Review:
For much of its length an intriguing and uncharacteristically (of Hollywood films) deliberate suspense film, which treated its spiritual subject with far more reverence than Ghost did a decade earlier, and reaped similar box office rewards. The awful truth begins to become apparent towards the end and the revelation is handled much less dramatically than in The Others, which came later, part of a millennial contemplation of death. However, Willis and the boy are good and it is genuinely scary.
