Amazon.com essential video:
"I see dead people," whispers little Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), scared to affirm what is to him now a daily occurrence. This peaked 9-year old, already hypersensitive to begin with, is now being haunted by seemingly malevolent spirits. Child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is trying to find out what's triggering Cole's visions, but what appears to be a psychological manifestation turns out to be frighteningly real. It might be enough to scare off a lesser man, but for Malcolm it's personal--several months before, he was accosted and shot by an unhinged patient, who then turned the gun on himself. Since then, Malcolm has been in turmoil--he and his wife (Olivia Williams) are barely speaking, and his life has taken an aimless turn. Having failed his loved ones and himself, he's not about to give up on Cole.

This third feature by M. Night Shyamalan sets itself up as a thriller, poised on the brink of delivering monstrous scares, but gradually evolves into more of a psychological drama with supernatural undertones. Many critics faulted the film for being mawkish and New Age-y, but no matter how you slice it, this is one mightily effective piece of filmmaking. The bare bones of the story are basic enough, but the moody atmosphere created by Shyamalan and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto made this one of the creepiest pictures of 1999, forsaking excessive gore for a sinisterly simple feeling of chilly otherworldliness. Willis is in his strong, silent type mode here, and gives the film wholly over to Osment, whose crumpled face and big eyes convey a child too wise for his years; his scenes with his mother (Toni Collette) are small, heartbreaking marvels. And even if you figure out the film's surprise ending, it packs an amazingly emotional wallop when it comes, and will have you racing to watch the movie again with a new perspective. You may be able to shake off the sentimentality of The Sixth Sense, but its craftsmanship and atmosphere will stay with you for days. --Mark Englehart

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SIXTH SENSE DVD
Is a great product. was a gift for a friend. I haven't asked her yet if she watched it. She is interested in paranormal phenomena and has the same sixth sense although she is only 16. Haven't heard anything bad but I will ask her about the quality. I also plan on ordering some books through you guys.
Thanks

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding Mystery-Horror-Drama Hybrid With Tremendous Performances; Moving And Scary
Among the best ghost stories ever told, The Sixth Sense succeeds mightily as a horror movie, a relationship drama, and a spiritual thriller.In arguably his best role, Bruce Willis plays Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a dedicated psychologist still haunted by his inability to help a disturbed patient who later took his own life.Years later, he's in for the challenge of his career when he meets a deeply frightened and disturbed little boy named Cole (Haley Joel Osment, in an award-worthy vituoso performance) ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Has there been a better thriller ever?
This is hands down absolutely the best thriller I have ever seen.Without giving anything away (for those who have been under a rock and don't know the ending) it was a complete shock.I have seen thousands of movies in my life but this one was a total surprise and it was M Night's first big release movie!None have been as good, but if you like ghost stories and/or surprise endings this is definately a good choice.Even after seeing it several times I like to watch it again and see what clues I missed. ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It's okay
The movie is fine the way it is with good acting from Osment, allusions to interruption from the "ghost world" (the color red, cold temperature), and the twist. It just didn't leave as much an impact on me as it does on others. The movie wasn't as scary as I thought to be, and I was scared of Event Horizon. Plus, I just can't get over the fact that Bruce Willis goes through everyday life not knowing the people he love are ignoring him. Sure, Mr. Shyamalan explained it simply as "ghosts only see what they want ... Read More
