Movie Review (DVD): The Sixth Sense

by Kelsie

The Sixth Sense is a great movie about a boy who can see the dead. Cole (played by Haley Joel Osmond) lives with him mom, but is not willing to share his secret with her. He has told nobody. Then along comes a man to help him get over his fear of being scared. Cole finds that he can confide in him, and tells him about his troubles. "I see dead people," Cole told him. He is then told to try and help these spirits because certain dead people have come back to look for what they wanted to see. He didn't want to have to do this, but it was the only solution to make them stop visiting him. A young girl ghost visits him, but nobody knew how she died. Then it is up to Cole to talk to her and find out the mystery behind her death.

Through his journeys of trying to help them, Cole discovers that the people don't know they are dead, but think they are living their life normally. Cole finds that the ghosts aren't that scary when he talks to them. Eventually Cole tells him mother what has been bothering him, but it doesn't bother him as much because he knows how to handle it.

I think this is an excellent movie, but not for the faint of heart.
