Anybody can write a random twist that aims to shock people.
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT 2016 WITCH SCENE MOVIE
This is one of the best reveals in movie history.
After another episode leaves him in the hospital, he tells Malcolm his secret that he "sees dead people". His suffering leaves him an outcast at school. The next fall, Malcolm is treating distressed Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) who lives with his single mom Lynn (Toni Collette). Deranged ex-patient Vincent Grey (Donnie Wahlberg) breaks in and shots Malcolm. THE SIXTH SENSE may not be the greatest horror film ever, but it's one of the best we've had in a long time.Ĭhild psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) celebrates an award win with his wife Anna (Olivia Williams). This ending was brilliant, one of the best I've seen, and I should probably watch the film again now that I know the outcome, in order to spot all the clues, as it were. However what seems to be initially an average film is suddenly boosted by the now famous twist in the tale, which really changes your entire perception of the film and makes you think about how clever it was long after the images have faded from the screen. A variation on the cat in the cupboard, really. Aside from the many genuine chills at Cole's revelations that he can see dead people, there are a few too many 'jump' scenes for my liking, where somebody brushes past the camera and somebody screams. Thankfully, Osment doesn't get too many opportunities to do 'cute' scenes, which I was grateful for.
However, it's Haley Joel Osment who really shines as the star of the piece, and his acting is spot on, conveying a boy totally in fear of his own unnatural abilities, and who labels himself a 'freak'. Toni Collette also puts in a good role as the frustrated mother of Cole, and even though she doesn't play a likable character and has a relatively supporting role in the proceedings, she remains a totally believable and understandable character, and the same can be said of Olivia Williams. In fact I would say that this the best I've ever seen him - his character is sympathetic, and Willis really does excel himself in portraying a believable, faded and disheartened man. Willis turns in his most sombre, thoughtful performance ever, and surprised many people who didn't realise he could actually act. The acting is of the highest calibre, with a relatively unknown cast headed by that great action star, Bruce Willis. These spooks are of the kind THE HAUNTING remake could have done with. When we eventually start seeing the 'ghosts' that Cole himself sees, there is ample opportunity for some chills, and the ghosts themselves are really quite frightening - both in their behaviour, and of course their gory looks. There are plenty of reasons to watch the film for. This is an extremely slow-moving film with no action in it whatsoever, no screaming girls being chased by maniacs, just important dialogue and realistic people in real situations. Saying that, THE SIXTH SENSE is still an expertly-crafted, entertaining film with some great acting (something lacking in a lot of recent blockbusters), and I'm glad that it's enjoying huge success at the moment - hopefully horror film-makers will turn their minds to something a bit more insightful and psychological rather than the latest gore fest. Seeing as these are the best moments of the film, a lot of the impact was softened. I for one could do without them, as I spent most of the time waiting for the kid to say "I see dead people", ".all the time" and "she's standing by my window". Unfortunately for me, the film had already been ruined partially by trailers, which give away all the key moments of the film. My latest outing to the local multiplex was to see this, the second biggest horror film of 1999 after THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Good, yes.but not great like "The Sixth Sense".provided some moron didn't tell you THE secret. Instead, the darkly cynical "American Beauty" carried off five of the trophies-though I really didn't think this winner was nearly as good a movie.
By the way, while nominated for six Oscars, the movie somehow won none. The other huge star here is the writing-and it was superb because it was so original, creative and the story bears many repeated viewings as each one reveals yet another layer of complexity.
Night Shyamalan, were at the top of their game as well. And, in addition, I can't believe I am saying this, but Bruce Willis and the director, M. He is THE reason the film works as well as it does and I wish the Oscar folks had given him some sort of special award to honor his great work. Haley Joel Osment delivers a truly amazing performance considering his age. But, if you haven't, it's a heck of an enjoyable film. So, if you know THE twist, you'll probably not enjoy the film nearly as much when you first see it. I am making 100% sure I don't in any way reveal the surprise twist in this film-too many have and I think those people are evil.
