The Sixth Sense (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: acting, twist
Disadvantages: none

If you haven't already seen the film go away now..... Right we've got rid of them, so when did you guess the plot twist? Was it the meal with his wife, the scene in the hospital or not until the very end? Or were you like me and guessed it when he got shot at the beginning after every review you had read said there was a big twist and in the trailer the kid keeps saying he sees dead people. It is to the credit of the film that this doesn't ... Read review

Advantages: The famous twist, superb acting from Wills and Osment, strong sense of moral in the story
Disadvantages: Would have been nice to have seen 'the gift' used a bit more

...to expect when I bought The Sixth Sense on DVD. Having been told by so many people how great it was, but having never seen it in the cinema, I hopped along to my local MVC knowing that I could take it back should I dislike it. Needless to say, The Sixth Sense has firmly stayed with me ever since I got it home and eagerly unwrapped it and stuck it into the player. All I had really heard was that it was a film about ghosts. The 15 Certificate immediately ... Read review

Advantages: Twist in the plot, has great moments, good acting.
Disadvantages: Can confuse you.

The Sixth Sense is about eight year old Cole Sear (Osment). Cole sees dead people. He meets with Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a renowned child psychologist. Crowe (Willis) tries to help Cole while helping himself. It is the number one grossing thriller of all time. With grosses nearing $300 million, the DVD release was going to be an “event.” I'd experienced this movie in the theater and liked the movie. With the DVD, I was hoping that I'd be ... Read review

Advantages: Very Innovative, Osment excels
Disadvantages: None I felt

This is the story of a very sad and a deeply disturbed little boy Cole Sears (Haley Joel Osment). His parents are divorced. He misses his father very much. He wears his glasses, with no lenses, to feel his nearness. He asks "did you ever feel the prickly things on the back of your neck?". He says "that's them" . Cole is referring to the ghosts, which he can actually see. He doesn't want to see them, but can't get away from them. He sees the restless ... Read review

Advantages: Gripping, great cast, good performance, amazing ending
Disadvantages: none that I know

Oh! The movie was so unlike any other horror movie. I am perplexed whether the movie can be rated in a "horror" genre, or whether it fits in the genre "thriller and Crime" where the topic is posted on CIAO. Any which ways, I found the movie quite thought provoking. There were many reasons why I wanted to watch it. Firstly that the director's name Shyamalan, sounded Indian. Well he does have Indian connection and yes, he had a screen presence in ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic story with a brilliant twist.
Disadvantages: Some of the extra features are difficult to read.

Tagged as the “must-see twice film” and if you’ve seen it once you’ll know why! If you haven’t seen it at all though, you are most definitely missing out. A film with one of the best twists of recent years – one, which you’ll be disappointed if you get straight away, or you will kick yourself for not getting it until you are supposed to. The story begins with Malcolm (Bruce Willis), a child psychiatrist, ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent plot and acting make for a spectacular film
Disadvantages: Could have been a few more extras...

...heard about it from friends, the Sixth Sense became one of the surprise hits of the year when it opened at cinemas, bringing with it some excellent acting, directing and plot twists, but more on that later. The film begins with a cosy scene, child psychologist Dr Malcolm Crowe (Willis) and his wife sitting down to talk about an award that he has just won for all of his good work. They are about to leave the room when the sound of breaking glass ... Read review

Advantages: Very clever plot, unexpected twist, quality and quantity of extra features
Disadvantages: If you know the twist in the film, it is not worth seeing

I can not emphasise the brilliance of this film enough. It teaches us to be more self-aware and friendly towards other people whilst presenting an amazing story with exceptional acting and values. I first watched this film after I had heard a good review of it on an MTV programme based all about movies. I hadn't had chance to see it at the cinema, and so was determined to do so on DVD. I was impressed by the number of times I went to rent it out ... Read review

Advantages: Great story, acting, directing and ending
Disadvantages: Shouldn't really be a PG

Advantages: Great acting and a great twist
Disadvantages: May be a little gory for some

I was first introduced to the directing of Shyamalan in the popular children’s video ‘Stuart Little’. Fairly impressed with his style I succumbed to my husband’s wishes and bought the Sixth Sense DVD; I am not a fan of Bruce Willis, generally not liking ‘thriller’ type movies so I was skeptical about this movie expecting an action type movie. Shyamalan writes and directs the movie, and perhaps due to his skill ... Read review

Advantages: Good Extra’s, Good Film
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

The Sixth Sense is an exceptional film, I think its truly great and will remain something I regard highly for quite sometime. It was recommended to me by fellow workers, and although I was told a lot about it, (just enough, in fact, to ruin the film) I still found it brilliant. The Sixth Sense concerns a child psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe (played by Bruce Willis), who at the beginning of the film, has his house broken into by a man who he treated ... Read review
