The Sixth Sense
Originally released: 1999
Read the full review
Not a horror film, but a hushed, intriguing supernatural drama, this casts Bruce Willis bravely against type as a child psychologist with inner demons of his own, tackling the case of Cole (Osment), a young boy visited by ghosts. Slow to start, menacing in the middle and not resolving itself in the way you expect, it's a highly unusual piece with considerable narrative flaws but a spooky, emotional texture which pulls you in. Willis, Osment, and single mother Toni Collette all subtly excel.
