Plot Story : In this tense tale of psychological terror, Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is a child psychologist whose new patient has a problem far outside his usual area of expertise. Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) is six-years-old and claims to see the spirits of dead people all around him. It seems that Cole has psychic powers and can channel the ghosts of those who were troubled. Cole doesn't understand his powers, and he has little control over them; he's constantly terrified by what he sees, and Dr. Crowe is the only one with whom he feels he can share this secret. However, as the doctor digs deeper into Cole's strange powers, it leads to strange and unexpected consequences for both of them. M. Night Shyamalan, who wrote and directed the film, has a small role as Dr. Hill. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Review For Movie The Sixth Sense
So transparent is Osment as an actor, and so rare, that the pain on his face stabs you in the heart.Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer
Osment's pinched, old-young face suggests an ancient's insight without an ancient's defenses -- a sensitivity so exquisitely morbid that you worry more for his emotional than physical well-being.
David Edelstein-Slate
Willis turns in a measured and understated performance.
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)-CNN.com
A delicate, emotionally attentive, but very scary ghost story.
David Denby-New Yorker
I was not only surprised by the film's final twist, I wasn't even looking for one. I just thought I was watching a bad movie. The end doesn't quite redeem it, but it makes you think about what you've seen. That's a saving grace of some sort.
Jack Mathews-New York Daily News
Shyamalan's script is a clever construct, but also contains a great deal of sensitivity to the plight of the "different" child.
John Anderson-Los Angeles Times
Dr Crowe gradually comes to believe that little Cole can indeed commune with the unquiet souls, who are reaching out to him for help. And, yes, the scenes where Cole does so can be very creepy indeed.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
M Night Shyamalan has fashioned a modern classic here, a chilly, intelligent, emotional ghost story that relies not on the obligatory gore and knifeplay for its many shocks but on glimpses of an afterlife that's anything but angels and harps.
Andrew Collins-Radio Times
Another "could-have-been" film, another almost successful compromise, another intelligent flick done in by its misplaced and worn-out star.
Dayana Stetco-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
If ultimately there is less to Sense than meets the eye, director-writer M. Night Shyamalan (Wide Awake) at least avoids gory cheap thrills in favor of muted chills. He bears watching.
Leah Rozen-People Magazine
Like Kieslowski and others, Shyamalan knows that what makes for lousy metaphysics can make for powerful metaphor, and in the end he creates a deeply, surprisingly affecting film out of a little bit of smoke and brimstone.
Keith Phipps-AV Club
Like The Exorcist, this isn't really a gore-spattered shocker, more a slow-burning, subconscious-botherer.
-Total Film
Osment is excellent, as is Bruce Willis, as a melancholy child psychologist scarred by his failure with a similarly haunted youth, and Toni Collette, as the boy's fiercely loyal mother.
Kevin Jeys-Sacramento News & Review
Constantly on the brink of explanation, The Sixth Sense in fact derives most of its fascination from explaining next to nothing.
Philip Strick-Sight and Sound
Great, but sometimes scarier than R-rated horror.
Nell Minow-Common Sense Media
An excellent premiere for new director M. Night Shyamalan as he packs a punch with a great story, excellent directing, a great cast, great performances, and a surprise ending that will leave you breathless for days on end.
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
Classy, creepy and cunnningly constructed, Shyamalan's film offers melacholy pleasures and some genuinely effective scares. A quality Hollywood offering and a massive hit.
-Film4
A low-key triumph of mood and menace.
Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com
Mr. Willis gives a surprisingly quiet performance.
Joe Lozito-Big Picture Big Sound
