The Sixth Sense
Before watching
The Sixth sense is a 1999 thriller/horror/mystery movie written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, its a movie I’ve heard a lot about and knew many people think of it as one of his best movies. Though, people also say that The Village (2004) is one of his least well done so what do they know. I expect it to be at least entertaining if not interesting, the fact that so many people enjoy it must mean theres at least one thing about it thats good.
Its been shown so often in Pop culture and Media that it would be very hard for you not to know what this movie is about, or at least know about this movie existing. I do expect to be let down in more than one way because It couldn’t possibly be as good or amazing as people said.
After watching
I watched the movie and I think its not any better or worse than people have said it was, Its a nicely crafted movie and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was very well done as far as horror films go and even though it contained mostly shock scares (Gore, Vomit, Disturbing imagery all to get a reaction) I still think that the scares in this movie were very well done, with the mixture of sharp and sudden sounds in the score tied in with the visual part of the scare, while done many times before, was still very well used in this movie. The plot was very good and I really liked the emotional depth the film had, making you feel sometimes horrified of the ghosts and sometimes just feel bad for them. Now enough gushing about the good parts of the movie, I want to talk about the problems I had with it. Even with the great ending and everything it still felt unfinished, like I wanted to see more of it, almost like Cole’s journey wasn’t over and still needed to be resolved. I know I know, they figured out how Cole could use his gift to help the spirits but it still seemed as though it wasn’t over, like more could happen to Cole and his mother. Another thing is what about the many dead people who visit Cole who don’t have some simple murder mystery to solve (Like Kyra the girl who was killed by her mother)? like people who died of natural causes, or the woman who was killed in the car accident, how does Cole help them? Its unexplained how he helps those who don’t have any mystery to solve or deep problem they need to fix. These are small problems thought, And the movie is still an amazing film that many people should watch, And I cannot recommend watching it enough. All in all a sold 9.5/10.
