DVD Reviews of The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series)DVD Review: Sixth Sense Summary: 5 StarsExcellent Movie!!! I loved it, received it in excellent condition & very quickly. Thank You.
DVD Review: Has there been a better thriller ever? Summary: 5 StarsThis is hands down absolutely the best thriller I have ever seen. Without giving anything away (for those who have been under a rock and don't know the ending) it was a complete shock. I have seen thousands of movies in my life but this one was a total surprise and it was M Night's first big release movie! None have been as good, but if you like ghost stories and/or surprise endings this is definately a good choice. Even after seeing it several times I like to watch it again and see what clues I missed. If you own it already, give it as a gift. It is a must have for any movie collection!
DVD Review: It's okay Summary: 3 StarsThe movie is fine the way it is with good acting from Osment, allusions to interruption from the "ghost world" (the color red, cold temperature), and the twist. It just didn't leave as much an impact on me as it does on others. The movie wasn't as scary as I thought to be, and I was scared of Event Horizon. Plus, I just can't get over the fact that Bruce Willis goes through everyday life not knowing the people he love are ignoring him. Sure, Mr. Shyamalan explained it simply as "ghosts only see what they want to see," but I don't buy it. Suspension of disbelief is important in movies, but I just can't do it for this one.
DVD Review: What Happened?... Summary: 5 StarsAfter recently watching the cinematic abomination known as THE HAPPENING, I went back and re-watched THE SIXTH SENSE. It's nearly impossible for me to believe that the same man is responsible for both movies. M. Night Shyamalan's SENSE is a dark, crawly masterpiece, full of shock and dread. Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) and his young "patient", Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) are horror legends! Cole's mum (Toni Collette) is very convincing in her frustrated, desperate role. From start to finish, THE SIXTH SENSE is a nearly flawless thriller / chiller. Highest recommendation...
DVD Review: Terrifically made Summary: 4 StarsThe Sixth Sense hit all of the right notes right on the button and worked really well. I was drawn in and was taken by surprise by the ending, only to realize soon afterwards that, of course, it had to be that way.
The story of a boy who communicates with dead people's spirits and who consults with a psychologist, is perfectly directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The excellent screenplay was also written by Mr. Shyamalan, who demonstrates being able to translate a vivid imagination onto the screen.
Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette head the talented cast. Each of these three actors acts wonderfully in this movie.
It al just worked.
Description of The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series)Hollywood superstar Bruce Willis (ARMAGEDDON, THE SIEGE) brings a powerful presence to an edge-of-your-seat thriller from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan (Oscar(R)-nominee for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director) that critics are calling one of the greatest ghost stories ever filmed. When Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Willis), a distinguished child psychologist, meets Cole Sear (Oscar(R)-nominee Haley Joel Osment, Best Supporting Actor), a frightened, confused, eight-year-old, Dr. Crowe is completely unprepared to face the truth of what haunts Cole. With a riveting intensity you'll find thoroughly chilling, the discovery of Cole's incredible sixth sense leads them to mysterious places with unforgettable consequences! "I see dead people," whispers little Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), scared to affirm what is to him now a daily occurrence. This peaked 9-year old, already hypersensitive to begin with, is now being haunted by seemingly malevolent spirits. Child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is trying to find out what's triggering Cole's visions, but what appears to be a psychological manifestation turns out to be frighteningly real. It might be enough to scare off a lesser man, but for Malcolm it's personal--several months before, he was accosted and shot by an unhinged patient, who then turned the gun on himself. Since then, Malcolm has been in turmoil--he and his wife (Olivia Williams) are barely speaking, and his life has taken an aimless turn. Having failed his loved ones and himself, he's not about to give up on Cole. This third feature by M. Night Shyamalan sets itself up as a thriller, poised on the brink of delivering monstrous scares, but gradually evolves into more of a psychological drama with supernatural undertones. Many critics faulted the film for being mawkish and New Age-y, but no matter how you slice it, this is one mightily effective piece of filmmaking. The bare bones of the story are basic enough, but the moody atmosphere created by Shyamalan and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto made this one of the creepiest pictures of 1999, forsaking excessive gore for a sinisterly simple feeling of chilly otherworldliness. Willis is in his strong, silent type mode here, and gives the film wholly over to Osment, whose crumpled face and big eyes convey a child too wise for his years; his scenes with his mother (Toni Collette) are small, heartbreaking marvels. And even if you figure out the film's surprise ending, it packs an amazingly emotional wallop when it comes, and will have you racing to watch the movie again with a new perspective. You may be able to shake off the sentimentality of The Sixth Sense, but its craftsmanship and atmosphere will stay with you for days. --Mark Englehart
