I thought it was going to be much better then it was, it was good just not as good as it could have been.

M. Night should have stopped with this one.

One of the very few Hollywood films of the last 30 years that actually suprised me at the end. Usually they telegraph the ending, often more than once pandering to the slow-witted. Not so in this movie. Willis and Collette were surprisingly effective but the kid stole the film.

One of, if not the, best "twist" in movie history.
GenghisTheHun 12/14/2007
I am a Bruce Willis and Toni Collette fan, so that carries me over and past tepid content. This movie is not going to win any awards, but it is worth a watch, at least once.
uncnc08 11/20/2007
Pretty good movie,I didn't figure out the twist ending the first time watching it,Bruce Willis is always great,but toni Collette and the kid was good as well.

Awesome movie. One of my favorites when I first saw it, but starts to get old after a few more viewings. Not Shymalan's best movie, actually. That would be UNBREAKABLE.

From all Shyamalans movies this is the one I dont like so much.
ivygirl3074 09/17/2007
has some creepy moments

I liked this movie, the ending just takes you by surprise (probably not now since it has been out for a while), good acting by Willis who is normally pretty light weight as he is more an action bang bang blow it up type, and Osment was great, usually I abhor child actors but he was great in the role. Very suspenseful from beginning to end, hold you on the edge of your seat that is for sure and that is what we pay for! Good story telling!
CloudTen 11/11/2006
Liked it so much and the ending was so surprising, I saw it twice. Good acting and writing.
Jeremy00081 10/01/2006
Great movie, but it's not an action or horror movie, so dont' be expecting anything like that. It does have some horroresque scenes, but it ends up being a thriller/drama.
excelsior30 08/13/2006
Great classic. Though not totally lurid, it is one that I will appreciate and soon see on AMC Channel. Keeps me in great suspense and it is surprising how the little things get you to a surprise ending. I can say for Haley Joel Osment at that age, he must be traumatized to see these dead people, but he's used to it, and it was worth the time. Best hit, never underrated.
CanadaSucks 07/13/2006
Easily makes the top-10 list of films of the 90's. . .great stuff. . .Bruce Willis actually did some real acting instead of squinting at the camera. . .and that kid (forgot his name) was terrific. . .
trebon1038 07/13/2006
This is a movie that the more you watch it, the more you get from it....same with "The Village."" The guy knows his stuff...
DumbBlondeCowg irl 04/22/2006
I love this movie. It still freaks me out when I watch it.
PzKpfw VI E 04/21/2006
An intelligent thriller, easily the best from Shamaylan, a talented director. The acting was good, and the ending had shock value few other films can rival. A great film overall, and one of the better thrillers available.
decalod85 12/04/2005
Never saw the ending coming. Shocked the crap out of me. Best of M. Night Shymalan's films.
echoscot 10/12/2005
Very creepy. The end was frustrating, because like so many others, I said "Of Course! I should have seen that coming! Duh!"
kattwoman 06/12/2005
it took me 2 or 3 starts to watch this movie and it probably would have been better if someone hadnt told me what was going on before i watched it so it took out the suspense but it was a great idea for a movie
PlanetaryGear 05/23/2005
Brilliant!...From the beginning to the superlative ending. M. Knight's greatest success and his greatest failure, cuz now, everything he makes will be judged by the standard he set for himself in this movie.
killerbudsfore very1 04/11/2005
I cant believe this is rated pg 13, I let my little sisters watch this, they cried. They thougt they were seeing dead people walking around the house moaning and screaming for there tender 10 yr old flesh. It took me a week to get them to realize it was just grandma!
jenken47 04/08/2005
I watched it never suspecting the twist at the end.....
Maomania 02/27/2005
I'm sure everyone says that but I have to bring it up one more time: What an unexpected ending. The little boy did such a great job. What an actor. Bruce Willis did a good job too (I'm usually not a fan of his acting skills) The movie was suspensful and it is one of the best movies out there.
mystic mango 12/14/2004
Uh-uh. Not scary.
sfalconer 12/02/2004
This movie is a must see if you have not seen it and no one has told you about it. It will blow your mind. It certainly made and impact on me. I would love to see a sequel but maybe it is just best to leave it as the classic it is.
mnbvcxzmnbvcxz 876 11/12/2004
This is a film that should never be missed by anyone. After all, you have to be a Sear to be a believer!
DramaQueen 11/06/2004
I was scared to death!!! I never thought I could be scared of a movie like that! I thought it was great!!!Way 2 go!!!
Daccory 10/05/2004
Skillfully played and the little boy is a gem. Bit leaden paced but nicely edited.
Da Minx 10/04/2004
I liked this alot. The ending was very unexpected, but I guess if you looked a little deeper you could have worked it out (DOH). Usually can't stand Bruce Willis and avoid anything he is in, however the plot got me interested. His acting ability left me contented, but young Haley Joel Osment needs to take all credit.
Mr Evangel 09/27/2004
Takes to long. Boring
RunsWithWhiteW olves 09/15/2004
A very good movie in the end when you found out the guy was dead that was crasy I had to see the movie more than ones.
Nightbird 08/08/2004
I thought it was scary but I love to scare myself so it was worth it. I sorta thought it was funny when stupid ghost don't know their dead! M. Night Shymalan went a little far making this happen to a child. SPOILER AHEAD : HERE IT IS BRUCE WILLIS IS DEAD. I guess it is stupid of me to be shocked when it happend but I was!
alpepper 06/30/2004
I like M. Night Shymalan's films. So far, Sixth Sense has been his best. It is creepy and suspenseful. Excellent acting from Haley Joel Osment, Toni Collete (a personal favorite), and even Bruce Willis. Like Rocky, the secret star of this movie is the city of Philadelphia. Being an old and kind of foreboding town, the film works exceptionally well there as opposed to, let's say, San Diego. The ending kind of caught me by surprise (which I won't spoil for the 1% of you who have not seen it yet). I will say, when watching it a second time, it was quite obvious. Worthwhile DVD rental.
ClassicTVFan47 05/17/2004
Boring movie with dull writing and terrible acting. Not a dose of creativity present either.
Bird808 05/17/2004
This movie truly does what a thriller movie should and ought to do and hasn't been doing since the days of Alfred Hitchcock. It wasn't until we finished viewing the film that certain questions started to creep on our psyche and our consciences. Is there truly life after death? Are we alive and living or walking entities? Hayley Joel Osment was outstanding as Cole Sear who kept a dark secret from his unsuspecting mother - having the ability to see ghosts. Bruce Willis surprised me as he was actually quite good. This film has to be the best out of all of M Night Shymalan's films to date.
Molfan 04/13/2004
A very good thriller movie. Very well played by all the actors. Haley Joel Osment is a little boy who can see ghosts. Bruce Willis is the Child Psychiatrist who tries to help him. It has enough suspence without being too gory. The surprise ending is kind of like a Twilight Zone ending.
Teaseress 04/13/2004
Went to see this at the cinema with a friend who decided to tell me what the twist was 10 minutes into the sodding film. I still totally and utterly enjoyed the film though. For the past ten years or so Bruce Willis has really flourished in the diverse roles that he has taken and he outshines in this. Haley Joel Osmand shows depth and plays his role convincingly. Toni Colette who plays the mother held up the standard of acting. A very emotional and sometimes scary film that is definately worth watching.
irishgit 03/11/2004
Pedestrian, preictable nonsense saved from being utter trash by good performances by Willis and a couple of others.
axzs 10/26/2003
one of the stupedist sci-fi movies ever, so stupid that its not even funny. Shamala is a crook who comes up with rip off screen plays. He should change shamala to shaman, which fits his negative iq more appropriately, everybody remember, don't go see any of his movies, last time i checked he's being paid what all of our forefathers combined salary: something like 50 million or so for a screenplay. Shamala needs to stop selling his fraudulent crap and shoot himself.
comedyfreek 09/26/2003
this was a freakishly good movie...the ending was out of this world..bruce willis as usual was great in it..and the kid did a good job too...the story was amazin..the movie was intense and all..really good fun watchin...shyamalan should carry on wit these type of movies he has a knack for making good ones...
wpittman 08/28/2003
The sixth sense is amazingly well done movie and office smash, that sends chills down your spine.
Vanilla_Tiger 08/01/2003
Alrgiht. Thats perhaps the only word I can find for it. Didn't really have a strong plot. If any part of the movie was good, it had to be the ending.....completely took me by surprise! Very Very good ending.
jbiscuit1 08/01/2003
I DON'T SEE WHAT THE HUBUB IS ABOUT. Bruce Willis plays his normal Bruce Willis character in this movie. The Sixth Sense is definitely good, but it's not stupendous. The kid in the movie is good, and there are some scenes in which the tension builds to a point of jumping, but The ending is predictable. Rent it. Whatch it. Enjoy it, but it's not the best movie in the world.
Sheba 07/24/2003
Great use of misdirection and playing upon assumptions. Well acted and superbly done.
Weirdmeister 07/10/2003
I never cry. I am a grown man who feels it very important never to let anybody see him cry. Thank GOD I was watching this movie alone at the time. I have to say though that when I saw the movie for the second time it was not completely logical. For example, if he could figure out he was dead at the end while observing his wife's agony, why not earlier when he was investigating the boy, etc.?
$$TOMMY$$ 07/09/2003
A great story it but it gets a bit boreing especialy when you know that Bruce Willis is dead in it anyway
EZMENOT 07/03/2003
I liked this movie. Even though I found it a little obvious. Half way through I guessed what was going on and I turned to my boyfriend and told him. Figuring out where a movie plot is going can take away from the enjoyment, but I liked it anyway.
ponerse 06/02/2003
I'm sure I'm not the only one with goosebumps the first time I saw the ending.
