THE SIXTH SENSE is a more intriguing ghostly adventure, set in Philadelphia. Bruce Willis is a sensitive, much honored child psychologist trying to help Cole, a fearful little boy who is hiding a terrifying secret. The boy sees ghosts.
The question is why. The psychologist is obsessed with the case because he made a mistake years before with another patient with similar symptoms. Cole goes through some alarming experiences (not too graphic). The apparitions are designed effectively to raise the hairs on the normal neck.
The film is nicely contrived by young writer director M. Night Shyamalan to keep the audience off balance. A surprise at the end ranks up there with the most stunning in the annals of ghost flicks. Sixth Sense is speculative but ultimately benign about the supernatural, much like Shyamalan’s little seen debut movie, Wide Awake (1997), about a Catholic schoolboy searching for God so he can ask about his deceased grandfather.
Actor Willis is as good as he often is in serious films, but the film belongs to young Haley Joel Osment, who is credible and moving as the haunted Cole. Toni Collette (Muriel’s Wedding) is helpful as Cole’s confused mom. Audiences love this film, but it’s definitely not for impressionable children. Satisfactory for mature viewers.
