“The Sixth Sense”
"The Sixth Sense"(PG-13)
While it has been out in theaters for quite some time, I figured I'd throw in a plug for this wonderful and eerily thrilling Bruce Willis flick.
If you haven't had the opportunity to check this one out, do so as quickly as you can.
While for some strange reason I do enjoy Willis, it is his young acting partner Haley Joel Osmont who provides the best acting chops.
I am convinced that Osmont is an adult trapped in a child's body.
He conveys a chilling portrayal of a young boy who is convinced he is receiving visits from the dead.
Willis is the child psychologist whose job it is to probe the boys mind.
The problem is, it is eerily reminiscent of a botched case Willis went through years before which resulted in a man's suicide.
There's minimal blood, very little swearing and an ending that will want to send you back into the theater to see the movie again.
Let's hope this begins a trend toward more thoughtful and spookier thriller/horror movies that don't rely on the slasher principal to draw people in.
