Aussie boy's thoughts
The Sixth Sense is nowhere near being just a simply spine-chilling and extremely intelligent film of psychology, but it’s one where M. Night Shyamalan provides the most shocking twist for an ending. This psychological thriller that delivers touches of fear and mystery is truly enough to boggle with your mind for a solid 100 minutes, leaving you feeling like it’s the first real entry to the deep genre. There’s just so much treats in this movie, and the type of treats you’ll rarely ever encounter.
Compelling, heavy and outstandingly moving, The Sixth Sense follows a child psychologist who starts treating a young boy who happens to have a strange sixth sense. Haley Joel Osment’s talented child performance is masterful, staggering, deep and shockingly clever. Bruce Willis is also magnificent as a child psychologist, and Toni Collette executes a real concerned mother.
Seriously, these rare performances are so immensely realistic to the point where they’re absolutely insane! But the highlight of this effective thriller is definitely the well-constructed, phenomenally executed and utterly shocking twist ending with thrillingly suitable soundtrack. Rewatching the film, everything makes complete sense, but avoid spoilers at all costs. Also being a surprise for a lower rated thriller movie, M. Night Shyamalan often provides teens with some extremely scary moments, too.
