Scary without the gore!

The story starts with Child physiologist Dr Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) on the evening he has been given an award by the mayor for all his hard work and dedication over the years.

After this experience Crowe starts to visit a young boy called Cole (Haley Joel Osment) after reading Cole's notes and talking with him, Crowe starts to find similarities between Cole and Vincent.
Crowe starts to gain Cole's trust and Cole confesses to him that he 'sees dead people'.

A lot of detail and thought has gone into every inch of this film, for example every time Cole sees a ghost that is angry cold breathe can be seen, also none of the ghosts have been given shadows because they are dead. It is such small details that may not be seen the first time around but when you watch it for a second time you are able to pick up on the subtleties that where not evident the first time you watch it.

It is not surprising to me that this film did so well, it was not predictable and had a great many twists in the plot to keep you guessing the whole time. This film really is a must see, I would also advise that you watch at least twice because you will see things from a different angel the second time around.

Bruce Willis plays Child Physiologist Dr Malcolm Crowe; Crowe has dedicated his life to working with children and has even put them before his wife. He is good at what he does and even won awards for his efforts, but on the evening that ex patient Vincent kills himself all of Crowe's self belief also dies.
After meeting Cole, Crowe knows he has to help this boy in order to prove himself again.
Bruce Willis best known for his role in the action packed 'Die hard' movies, in this role however he shows a more sensitive side to his abilities.

Toni Collette plays Lynn Sear Cole's mother, Lynn Sear is a single parent divorced from Cole's father. She is struggling to understand what is wrong with her son and wants desperately to help him.
Toni Collette is best known for her role as Muriel in 'Muriel's Wedding' 1994, in this film however we get to see her more serious side, she is an under rated actress who I would love to see more of.
