"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

Customer Reviews:
A bit contrived, but riveting entertainment. A must-see, must own film!.......2007-06-28
SPOILER ALERT: Before reading this review, please know that this film is a complex psychological mystery to figure out and in the course of discussing this film's merits some pieces of the puzzle may be revealed inadvertently. I often refrain from this with reviews, but it's hard to discuss this film without giving away some critical elements here and there. Please be advised of this as I hate to spoil anyone's enjoyment of this modern classic film that you really must see and own if you are a fan of this genre.
After two rather lame, dorky films M. Night Shyamalan hit it big with this 1999 sleeper that quietly went on to become one of the biggest box-office surprises of that year and this genre and rightly so. It is the kind of film that Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho) would have been proud to put his name on. I'll forego the usually plot analysis here as most are familar with this film and Amazon's description of the film says enough.
The film's strengths lie in the wonderfully subtle performances by the stars who all rightly deserved their Oscar nominations. I still consider this one of Bruce Willis's best performance if not best, but with a career that easily bounces around from comedy to action hero to thrillers it's hard to really say what is his best. In any event, his role here as the tortured child psychologist trying to make up for a past wrong is compelling and rather typical of any Hitchcockian-type thriller (consider Vertigo as a great example). Haley Joel Osmont, whose sister was in Spy Kids 2 and on the current Disney show Hannah Montana, gives a marvelous performance and one of the best I've ever seen from a child actor. His eyes are truly the windows to his soul. Toni Collette as Osment's grief-stricken, single mother is flawless, believable at all times, and heart-wrenchingly touching as she attempts to communicate with her child that she believes may be beyond reaching.
In addition, the film's delibertly slow-mounting pace mixed with sudden unexpected jolts brings about incredible tension and suspense. Shyamalan is brilliant at slowly giving us the pieces to the film's puzzle to the point where we feel, as the audience, like complete idiots for not "getting it" sooner. Why didn't I notice that no one talks directly to Willis's character except the boy and why does he keep wearing in some fashion the same clothes (plus or minus tie, plus or minus sweatshirt or sport jacket, etc.). The ending of the film is telegraphed to us earlier on and we are given countless clues, but like any skilled director, Shyamalan often misdirects our attention elsewhere at critical times. His is a very gifted director and writer who can effectively bring his vivid imagination to the screen.
The photography, camera angles, lighting, and careful editing manipulate us from beginning to end and the score by James Newton Howard who gave us the theme to ER and the awesomely effective score to Shyamalan's Signs is always appropriate and memorable as a score should be. In addition, the make-up for the ghosts that only Osment can see is jolting and convincing each time and often surprisingly revealed to us. Their presence is eerie, disturbing, and, forgive the pun, haunting.
My only complaint about this otherwise flawless piece of entertainment is that it is, as some critics have rightly pointed out, a rather contrived work, but most good mysteries are by the nature of the genre itself and not so much because of the writer and director of which Shyamalan is both. The pieces of the puzzle HAVE to fit at the end and to criticize the film for doing so seems a bit unfair, but I do understand what those critics mean as Shyamalan is a bit heavy-handed with his contrivances, but, wow, can he tell a story. If you are interested in his other works, then just click his name highlighted as director. Except for his first two silly films and the troubled and uneven but still decent Lady in the Water you should enjoy this master director and writer.
FYI: This film was the inspiration for two popular and current TV shows. They are NBC's highly successful Medium in which Emmy-Winner Patricia Arquette is a housewife that sees ghosts in her dreams that want her to assist them in some manner and CBS's equally successful Ghost Whisperer with Jennifer Love Hewitt playing a similar role, but see ghosts all day long and not in her dreams (more like in "The Sixth Sense"). These are series worth owning by the way. I never miss an episode of either show.
Way to stiff the actors, amazon! .......2007-06-18
This film is worth all its five stars and more, but what's up with amazon.com listing the actors as Firdous Bamji, Mischa Barton, Toni Collette, and Janis Dardanis? Collette is certainly worth mentioning -- her performance is terrific -- but who the heck are Bamji and Dardanis? Mischa Barton's fifteen minutes of fame in The O.C. hardly merits billing over Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment, who give two of the most affecting and intelligent screen performances in recent memory.
What's next? The DVD of "Gone with the Wind, starring George Reeves and
Evelyn Keyes"?
BRILLIANT!.......2007-06-13
THIS MOVIE IS BRILLIANT! I echo Nathan Alderman's review of this film.
Great thriller!.......2007-06-01
"I see dead people". You've heard that line before. This is the movie that started the jokes and spawned other movies based solely on that one line. When a movie has that kind of power, you know it's good.
So what's this movie about? Basically, a pyschologist (Malcolm) comes to a little boy's (Cole) aid when he claims that he can see dead people. No one else can see these dead people and they're not friendly by any means. Malcolm has to try and come up with a way to make living with dead people more tolerable for Cole (if that's at all possible). Meanwhile, Malcolm has to deal with his own personal issues when his wife stops talking to him after he got shot by a former patient a year before.
If you haven't seen this movie, you're missing out. For those who don't like scary movies, don't worry. This isn't a typical scary movie. This is more of a mystery movie in which you have to think about what's going on and what's going to happen. The first time I watched this movie in the theaters, I left with shaky knees. It was that good. This is a must have movie in every household's movie collection.
Heighten your cinematic senses.......2007-04-21
M. Night Shyamalan's debut as the masterful storyteller/director began with this most mysterious and heartfelt film, The Sixth Sense. The last time I saw The Sixth Sense was over six years ago and it was as though I enjoyed it even more now than I did the first time I saw it in theatres. Shyamalan's script is woven so beautifully and with such great care that the viewer will be yearning to find answers to the many questions this film forces one to develop.
The Sixth Sense starts out with a bang (with probably the best performance by Donnie Wahlberg I've ever seen on the big screen) and leaves the audience almost trembling. As the story begins after this shocking introduction, we see Bruce Willis a year later after his career has been somewhat destroyed by the terrible events that occurred a year prior. Willis plays a child psychologist, and begins treatment through brief clinical sessions with a young boy (played memorably by Haley Joel Osment). Osment seems terribly disturbed and Willis appears determined to solve this troubled boy's problems. But as the story begins to unfold and the audience learns of Osment's nightmarish ailment, Willis finds that helping this boy will take far more effort than he could have ever imagined.
It is hard to capture the beauty of The Sixth Sense in a few paragraphs, but the simplicity of its execution is enough to show that original films can still grab an audience better than any mind-blowing special effect. The Sixth Sense manages to keep the crowd attentive without a single special effect for almost two hours. This movie is not only a good thriller, but its dramatic elements will sometimes grasp at you without letting you go.
An excellent and unforgettable performance by Toni Collette and one of the greatest ghost stories ever told. If you are not a fan of horror, do not fret; this is not a horror film. But there are definitely a few good jumps to be enjoyed. This movie can be seen over and over again and will one day be known as a classic work of film-making. This is by far the most superior M. Night Shyamalan film.

This is more of a mystery movie in which you have to think about what's going on and what's going to happen. The extra features that are included with this movie are a great added bonus. It's interesting to hear the director's thoughts and some of the details that went into creating certain scenes. The first time I watched this movie in the theaters, I left with shaky knees. It was that good. This is a must have movie in every household's movie collection.
The story is the best of this movie.......2006-10-07
Surprising ending, well worked. Even Bruce, as always himself, blend enough with the story to ignore him and pay attention to the story and, of course, the boy, who does a wonderful work. More suspense than terror, meaning you can see the movie before going to bed but... don't share it with your little kids!
I'm not one to watch a movie twice..........2006-09-11
...but I had to watch this one again, right afterward, because I needed to go back and watch for clues.
Honestly, and I won't give away the 'ah ha!' moment, but I knew that he was... well, you know, what he was. What I didn't get was how that was possible, or how the interaction with the others that I saw... so I had to go back and watch the movie AGAIN, just to make sure there were no errors in the filming of it.
Sure enough, I found none that I could call an error, and was totally blown away with how this was filmed.
I am a writer, and I also adapt novels for scripts, and when something like this comes along, that something that just totally grabs me and says, "This is something special... this is not the ordinary..." well, I am impressed.
I aspire to write something that can really AH HA! someone in this way.
I recommend the movie, highly.
Perfect Movie to Pay Attention to .......2006-08-12
This movie is one you can't just take off the shelf expecting it to be a brainless horror. This is the movie at the top of my list that is both creepy and contemplative. It's the thrilling gift of a child that really catches your attention. Other poeple can't see lost souls that don't know they're dead, but the boy can, and in this movie he tries to learn how to deal with his gift and lend a hand to the lost dead people. To help him with this problem, Dr. Malcom Crowe (Bruce Willis) comes to talk to the child (who's played by Haley Osment). There's a secret throughout the movie about the Dr. of which he and the people watching don't know that shows a whole different view on things. The secret is revealed towards the end and gives a shocking turn to the movie. Scary and yet very satisfying, the movie is highly recommended!!!
Not terrible but way over-rated.......2006-07-28
The Sixth Sense is one of those movies that younger audiences or audiences unfamiliar with a lot of movies will see as new and innovative, even shocking as so many below have indicated. If you have more experience with movies, much of this one will be familiar to you (yawn), it certainly will not surprise you or shock you.
I first saw The Sixth Sense long after its theatrical release and so was quite removed from all the hype; I just remembered that many reviewers had described it as an intelligent psychological thriller. I was disappointed.
The so-called "twist" involving the Bruce Willis character was no surprise at all. In fact, it was fairly obvious almost in the very beginning, and later the director used so many awkward techniques to maintain his "illusion" that it became glaringly so. Try re-watching the scenes when he interacts with the boy's mother, or when he meets his wife for dinner. These are done very clumsily. Anyone remotely familiar with this type of storyline can't help but realize what is going on. Part of the problem is that the film is built around this Twilight Zone twist but as a full length movie it has to struggle to maintain the illusions far longer than a 30 minute TV episode, and ultimately fails. Another part of teh problem is that the "twist" itself is
so hackneyed. I can't remember all of the various stories and films that use this device, there have been so many.
That having been said, there are positive points to the film. Bruce Willis, who has a very limited range as an actor and no depth, does a descent job here, for him. Don't avoid just because of past experience with Willis. The troubled boy is played spookily well. Some of the scenes are genuinely unsettling, though the director steals a lot of the scariest more atmospheric moments from Kubrick's The Shining. The subplot surrounding the murdered girl was more interesting than the movie itself, if a bit syrupy towards the end.
Overall, if you are an experienced movie-goer, this one might hold your interest for an evening after work, if you can get past the annoyingly clumsy handling of the "twist" scenes. If you are younger and looking for a spooky night and maybe some new-to-you twists, enjoy!

Customer Reviews:
Why pay more for less?.......2005-02-13
I'm puzzled as to why anyone should pay $59.39 for these three DVDs that currently retail on Amazon for $11.24 (Signs), $14.99 (Unbreakable), and $26.99 (Sixth Sense*) totaling $53.22?
*There is also a less expenseive "Collector's Version" of the Sixth Sense that only costs $14.99 if you'd rather not pay the $12.00 for the "Vista Series" extras.
I'm also skeptical as to whether the version of Unbreakable sold here has as much content as the Vista series edition sold seperately that contains 2 discs (I assume this edition does not because this box set only includes 3 discs, 1 per movie).
I love the movies, but where's the price break on buying them all together when the package is $6.17-$18.17 more than purchasing these DVD's seperately???
Why you shouldn't buy the collectors edition of Sixth Sense.......2005-01-18
EDIT - In response to the more recent review it should be noted that the less expensive version of The Sixth Sense you are suggesting people buy has no DTS 5.1 track on it, therefore if you have a home theatre system you are much better off buying the DTS edition.
The Other Movie.......2004-10-14
Backing up the review that pointed out M. Night Shyamalan's earlier films the other movie is titled Praying With Anger(also did screen play for Stuart Little). All three movies in the box set are great and worth watching again and again.
Set of good movies........2004-05-27
If you absolutly love M Night Shymalan's suspense thrillers, then this is a great deal because these are his three best movies packaged together.

Unbreakable will tighten its grip on you, as you watch it.......2006-07-16
If we push the limits of the possible, which is a key theme of the movie, who knows what this will unleash in ourselves. An intentionally understated Bruce Willis and overstated Samuel L. Jackson explore the Superman as Everyman theme. Another key theme, is the exploration of good and evil, in terms of means and ends, which is presented in many very interesting scenes. (If a student needs a movie with meat on it, to write a review, this is definitely one to pick). The movie builds to a very suspenseful conclusion, and then to an extraordinary coda. So, don't wander off before the movie is finished. Stay with it, and the movie will definitely stay with you.
One of the most underrated films in recent memory.......2002-04-16
Imagine the most realistic Issue #1 comic book movie. A film in the same vein as Batman and Superman but done in a very realistic way. Remember, it still is a comic book movie, just on the surface it doesn't quite seem that way even with this Elijah character constantly referring to comic books and superheroes. My friends, I give you Unbreakable. It is THE best superhero film since 1992's Batman Returns. The film has suspense,mystery,drama, and good old fashioned good vs. evil. It is too bad that this film wasn't nominated at least for it's stellar score. The film and score was underrated in my opinion but now that it is on DVD you shouldn't miss out on this gem!
Really ticked off.......2001-11-11
Hollywood Pictures Home Video held me hostage for ten minutes after inserting The Sixth Sense into my DVD Player. I was unable to fast-forward past the previews and the menu button was disabled. I am really ticked off that, after paying for this movie, the author of this DVD insists on wasting ten minutes of my life every time I watch this movie to force me to watch their movie previews over and over again. Life is too short. If I am forced to watch ten minutes of commercials everytime I play this DVD, then the DVD should have been given to me for free. I paid money to own this video so I can watch it on my own time and at my convenience. I refuse to own any movie which sucks my life away from me, even ten minutes of it. Life is too short. Do not buy this release. (btw - I liked the movie)
Incredible Unbreakable.......2001-10-26
This movie has restored my faith in the ability of Hollywood to produce movies that are worth watching. Before I watched this movie, I expected an obvious play on the Sixth Sense motifs and ideas. What I found, to my pleasant surprise, was a well-thought out, well-written movie about an unknowing hero. Bruce Willis gives a good performance alongside Samuel L. Jackson. I found myself enjoying the well-developed storyline along the way, and when I reached the ending, the movie took on a whole new depth as the last piece of information was revealed. I would highly recommend this movie to any fantasy/drama/thriller fan.
Two Great Movies.......2001-05-25
These are two excellent movies by one excellent Director: M. Night Shamalyam. His direction and storywriting is consistently good, and his movies explore more supernatural topics such as sixth senses and good vs. evil. Bruce Willis' acting in both is great as well. Pick this up today.

I liked it.......2006-12-17
You have to take this movie for what it is, softcore - mostly lesbian - with great T&A. It's a spoof on the "Sixth Sense" but by no means follows any kind of plot. Eye-Candy, not a thriller.
I see dead strippers . . . doing nothing at all.......2003-02-21
It's hard to believe that the same folks who gave us The Erotic Witch Project turned out a spoof as bad as The Sexy Sixth Sense. Francis is an exceedingly geeky fellow who suddenly begins seeing dead strippers appearing in his home. Four of them pop up one at a time on his bed, a couple of them appear later in his kitchen, and then the other couple take a turn on the couch, but Francis can do nothing more than watch all of them roll around and do next to nothing. His psychiatrist, who kindly offers to remove some of her clothes in order to gain his confidence, isn't really much help; she's also not really who she seems to be, but that's really not hard to figure out. Content-wise, this is by far the tamest Seduction Cinema movie I have seen; all of the scenes are remarkably bland and, to be honest, not very revealing at all. Darian Caine seems to put some effort into her role early on, but eventually she too just sort of gives up and joins the other actresses in simply going through the motions. The plot is thin and rather absurd; for instance, a clown comes by to use Francis' bathroom for no discernible reason other than to add a little toilet humor to the movie. Basically, nothing in this entire movie works or entertains.
Along with the actual movie, you get a short "behind the scenes" featurette and an interview with Barbara Joyce, but these extras really add nothing to the overall package. Without a doubt, this is the most boring, least enjoyable Seduction Cinema film I have ever seen.
They tried, and that's worth something........2002-02-15
I liked some of the erotic encounters on this video, but it was basically just a loose series of them strung together without much purpose. And while I am a fan of seeing beautiful women loving eachother, it's always more sensual when there's a reason for them doing so, but that's not really the case here. They just suddenly appear, and that's about it. No effort whatsoever at scriptwriting or acting. Again, the eroticism is worth something, just don't expect too much.
Average customer rating:
- Great thriller!
- The story is the best of this movie
- I'm not one to watch a movie twice...
- Perfect Movie to Pay Attention to
- Not terrible but way over-rated

Great thriller!.......2007-06-18
"I see dead people". You've heard that line before. This is the movie that started the jokes and spawned other movies based solely on that one line. When a movie has that kind of power, you know it's good.
So what's this movie about? Basically, a pyschologist (Malcolm) comes to a little boy's (Cole) aid when he claims that he can see dead people. No one else can see these dead people and they're not friendly by any means. Malcolm has to try and come up with a way to make living with dead people more tolerable for Cole (if that's at all possible). Meanwhile, Malcolm has to deal with his own personal issues when his wife stops talking to him after he got shot by a former patient a year before.
If you haven't seen this movie, you're missing out. For those who don't like scary movies, don't worry. This isn't a typical scary movie. This is more of a mystery movie in which you have to think about what's going on and what's going to happen. The extra features that are included with this movie are a great added bonus. It's interesting to hear the director's thoughts and some of the details that went into creating certain scenes. The first time I watched this movie in the theaters, I left with shaky knees. It was that good. This is a must have movie in every household's movie collection.
The story is the best of this movie.......2006-10-07
Surprising ending, well worked. Even Bruce, as always himself, blend enough with the story to ignore him and pay attention to the story and, of course, the boy, who does a wonderful work. More suspense than terror, meaning you can see the movie before going to bed but... don't share it with your little kids!
I'm not one to watch a movie twice..........2006-09-11
...but I had to watch this one again, right afterward, because I needed to go back and watch for clues.
Honestly, and I won't give away the 'ah ha!' moment, but I knew that he was... well, you know, what he was. What I didn't get was how that was possible, or how the interaction with the others that I saw... so I had to go back and watch the movie AGAIN, just to make sure there were no errors in the filming of it.
Sure enough, I found none that I could call an error, and was totally blown away with how this was filmed.
I am a writer, and I also adapt novels for scripts, and when something like this comes along, that something that just totally grabs me and says, "This is something special... this is not the ordinary..." well, I am impressed.
I aspire to write something that can really AH HA! someone in this way.
I recommend the movie, highly.
Perfect Movie to Pay Attention to .......2006-08-12
This movie is one you can't just take off the shelf expecting it to be a brainless horror. This is the movie at the top of my list that is both creepy and contemplative. It's the thrilling gift of a child that really catches your attention. Other poeple can't see lost souls that don't know they're dead, but the boy can, and in this movie he tries to learn how to deal with his gift and lend a hand to the lost dead people. To help him with this problem, Dr. Malcom Crowe (Bruce Willis) comes to talk to the child (who's played by Haley Osment). There's a secret throughout the movie about the Dr. of which he and the people watching don't know that shows a whole different view on things. The secret is revealed towards the end and gives a shocking turn to the movie. Scary and yet very satisfying, the movie is highly recommended!!!
Not terrible but way over-rated.......2006-07-28
The Sixth Sense is one of those movies that younger audiences or audiences unfamiliar with a lot of movies will see as new and innovative, even shocking as so many below have indicated. If you have more experience with movies, much of this one will be familiar to you (yawn), it certainly will not surprise you or shock you.
I first saw The Sixth Sense long after its theatrical release and so was quite removed from all the hype; I just remembered that many reviewers had described it as an intelligent psychological thriller. I was disappointed.
The so-called "twist" involving the Bruce Willis character was no surprise at all. In fact, it was fairly obvious almost in the very beginning, and later the director used so many awkward techniques to maintain his "illusion" that it became glaringly so. Try re-watching the scenes when he interacts with the boy's mother, or when he meets his wife for dinner. These are done very clumsily. Anyone remotely familiar with this type of storyline can't help but realize what is going on. Part of the problem is that the film is built around this Twilight Zone twist but as a full length movie it has to struggle to maintain the illusions far longer than a 30 minute TV episode, and ultimately fails. Another part of teh problem is that the "twist" itself is
so hackneyed. I can't remember all of the various stories and films that use this device, there have been so many.
That having been said, there are positive points to the film. Bruce Willis, who has a very limited range as an actor and no depth, does a descent job here, for him. Don't avoid just because of past experience with Willis. The troubled boy is played spookily well. Some of the scenes are genuinely unsettling, though the director steals a lot of the scariest more atmospheric moments from Kubrick's The Shining. The subplot surrounding the murdered girl was more interesting than the movie itself, if a bit syrupy towards the end.
Overall, if you are an experienced movie-goer, this one might hold your interest for an evening after work, if you can get past the annoyingly clumsy handling of the "twist" scenes. If you are younger and looking for a spooky night and maybe some new-to-you twists, enjoy!
