At the time, people watched it twice because of the twist in the end. Although the two main actors are excellent (this is probably one of the few films in which Bruce Willis wasn´t sweaty), this is an investigation film like an other. To be watched for the general knowledge as it is now cult.

When people talk about this seminal horror picture, they often tend to focus on and overstate the importance of the famous final plot twist which, while a fantastic reveal in its own right, isn't the only or even main reason why the feature has remained such a cultural touchstone and is often remembered as being one of the very best examples of the genre. Instead, the ominous sense of mystery created by the relatively slow and self-assured pacing; the mature and well-crafted scares stemming solely from our connection to the nuanced characters as opposed to obnoxiously loud musical cues; the layered and intelligent screenplay that dares to assume its audience is smart enough to understand what it is presenting; and the phenomenal performances that cement 'The Sixth Sense (1999)' as existing within a grounded reality - including what is arguably the best child performance ever put to film - are what make this emotional, gripping and complex drama stand out as one of the best horror films of the last twenty years. 8/10

First of all, I watched this movie for the first time today. I was not aware of the twist and the story beforehand but after watching it I felt like it was pretty obvious. Like, nobody talked to Malcolm except Cole. His wound was always hidden and his wife kissing someone else and dating someone else when Malcolm was living in the basement. I guess maybe I noticed all this because I have read too many mystery novels or watched too many mystery movies. I liked the movie, acting and screenplay and everything. But I don't think that the twist was something unexpected.

This movie is about a boy who interacts with spirits that do not know they are dead. The boy becomes very frightened each time he sees these spirits and requests help from a child psychologist. Malcom Crowe, the boys psychologist, receives an award and then on the same night is visited by an old patient of his who has the same issue as the boy and is very dissatisfied. After this experience, Malcom decides that he will try to help the boy. I really enjoyed the different parts of this movie, except the really scary ones of course. This movie was very suspenseful and always left me wondering what was going to happen next. The Sixth Sense was put together very well. The writer/director does a great job at sculpting the movie very carefully in order to get the viewer to feel every kind of emotion. However, I did not love it of course because it was creepy and involved a numerous amount of dead people.
