Seeing 'The Sixth Sense' for the first time is an unbelievable experience, but watching it for the second time is equally good. That is probably the greatest thing about the film: it is one that you can come back to, and appreciate just as much as the time before because of it's original concept. Haley Joel Osment will never give a better performance as he did in this film, despite his remarkably young age. The film by writer/director M. Night Shyamalan simply would not have worked if it wasn't for Osment's stunning performance. Bruce Willis, one of Hollywood's greatest actors gave a breathtaking performance, yet was still acted off the screen by the promising young actor. In gloomy Philadelphia, Shyamalan manages to bring across the fear and sheer horror that the film suggests with seamless ease and realism. He is sure to become one of the best Hollywood actors of his time if he continues to produce films as moving and technically brilliant as this. It should not be classified into a specific genre of film, but should be recognised as a film that combines the horror and the thriller genres to perfect effect. Shot with such originality and care, this is a film that everyone simply must see. Acted with such brilliance and scored so perfectly, 'The Sixth Sense' is a modern classic.
