The Sixth Sense

              Do you like scary movies? Well, here's a good one I think those horror fans will love. This feature-film by M. Night Shyamalan is one of his greatest works of art. "The Sixth Sense" is a movie about the amazing yet freaky ability of a boy to see ghosts... that are still roaming the Earth. Only he can see them, which makes an impression on people that the boy is crazy. He can speak to them, and only he can hear them, and they hear him. On a rating of family friendliness on a scale from 1-10, I would say this is a two for little ones, for teens that love freaky movies, a 10, and for semi-freaky fans, a 6.

             The story begins with Bruce Willis and his wife at home. Bruce is drunk and is rhyming like Dr. Seuss. The couple goes upstairs and as Bruce's wife is getting ready for bed, she screams. Out comes an 18 year old boy who has the same powers or abilities as the boy described above. He has a revolver pointed at Bruce, and the two have a freaky conversation. At the end of it, the 18-yr old shoots Bruce in the back as Bruce tries to do a spin move to protect his wife from the gun-shot. The boy shoots himself in the temple and as Bruce lay on the bed, dying, the scene fades out.

               The screen fades in saying over a park, "FIVE MONTHS LATER." Bruce is healthy once again and is sitting on a bench waiting for a boy to exit the school he sits by. When the boy comes out, he has a startled shock, and turns away from Bruce. Bruce stands up and casually follows the boy home.

              At the home, Bruce talks to the boy about a special condition the boy might have of seeing  the dead. From there, the two embark on an adventure of discovering the boy's amazing power, while Bruce and his wife are distant... then as the movie reaches an end, the boy tells Bruce, "I think I know how you can talk to your wife. Talk to her while she sleeps, then she'll talk back."
           
               "I'll try." When Bruce goes home and talks to his wife in her sleep, she asks, "Why did you leave me?"
                "What do you mean? I never left you."
                "Why did you leave me?" She drops a ring that is Bruce's and he realizes that he's been dead the whole time... FREAKY!

Well... if you're a fan of scary movies.... Enjoy?
