Review of The Sixth Sense

The Sixth Sense is one of my all-time favorite movies directed by M. Night Shyamalan. While the movie centers around paranormal activity and Cole’s connection to the afterlife, it really feels more like a drama than a horror movie. The characters are compelling and feel real, and the acting is knocked out of the park by Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, and Toni Collette. Willis and Osment are truly the perfect duo for the film, and their interactions feel heartfelt and at times even tear-jerking. Though I didnt find myself crying on this watch, this movie has had a profound impact on me on several other occasions. When I was a kid, it was one of the very first horror movies I ever watched and has stuck with me ever since. There is truly nothing I can say bad about this movie.

Score 10/10
