The Sixth Sense

Hollywood movie star Bruce Willis (Armageddon, The Siege) provides a strong 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 experts are calling one of the finest ghost tales ever filmed. Its feature by M. Night Shyamalan sets itself up as a thriller, ready on the brink of providing gigantic frightens, but gradually evolves into more of a emotional drama with supernatural undertones. Without doubt Shyamalan’s greatest perform, this is one of the most audacious directorial debuts in recent times and also the much-discussed twist.

Child psychiatrist Malcolm Crowe is confronted one night by his previous patient Vincent Gray who he failed to assist. Following Vincent shoots Crowe in the stomach and kills himself, Crowe cannot prevent thinking about it. Several weeks later we see Dr. Crowe meeting a six years old young man, Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment). He has been withdrawn and has several psychological problems. He is also comes with issues incredibly comparable to his previous patient.

Crowe recognizes an opportunity to redeem himself, yet doubts his potential to reach the young man, specially when Cole claims to see ghosts who have no idea they're lifeless. A child psychiatrist (Willis on career-best form) assists a disturbed kid (Osment, in one the excellent child performances) who are able to see the spirits from the dead.
