 The Sixth Sense Starring: Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osmet, Olivia Williams, Toni Collette Rating:  4 StarsIn this summer's proliferation of scary movies, The Blair Witch Project got all the hype, The Haunting got all the fancy schmany special effects, and The Sixth Sense won the acclaim of moviegoers and critics alike. This film is not only the best of the new crop scary movie flicks (the aforementioned, as well as Stigmata and Stir of Echoes), but also one of the best movies of the year so far (perhaps only with Fight Club and America Beauty challenging it). Willis plays a kiddie shrink who failed once and is determined not to make the same mistake for the special but troubled little child played by Osmet (Forest, Jr. from Forest Gump). However, he can never be prepared for the revelation Osmet makes to him. In a scene that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end he confesses to Willis in a raspy whisper, "I see dead people." What progresses are a series of images that are lackluster in special effects, but so well-set-up they will literally scare the hell out of you. It is a non-stop adrenaline ride from then on out. For the first time since I saw The Exorcist at 16, I felt uneasy when I cut the lights off and settled into my bed. There are some holes in the plot and a few melodramatic moments, but all in all this movie is fantastic. There are two particular bright spots that outshine its other traits, however. The first is Osmet. A child of his age in such a role would normally play it very melodramatic and unconvincing, but he is soft-spoken and as realistic as any other actor I have seen. Because of his age, I think this is one of the best performances of the year (nuge, nudge, Academy). The other bright spot is the twist at the end that will literally make your head spin. Never duplicated, totally unpredictible, you will walk out of the theatre shaking your head in disbelief. That is all I will say about it. Overall, this one is a must see. Just keep that heater running as hot as it will go when you get home. Brrrrr... My Call: What are you still doing in front of this computer? Go see it...NOW! |
