Sixth Sense

The Sixth Sense is really one of a kind, in the sense it is truly terrifying at times, although almost no blood or guts is seen at all.   This, along with the themes/motifs this movie carries, makes it without a doubt, one of the most mature horror movies I've seen.  It's also probably my favorite, because of the excellent collaboration of acting, writing, directing, cinematography, and the soundtrack; which all come together to put this a head above the rest.

What makes this film so wonderful to watch, though, is not simply the acting, or the terror it instills, or even the plot itself. It is the way in which the writer/director M. Night Shyamalan takes his vision from the page, and carefully crafts a tale that completely absorbs the viewer. As a result, we are treated to a wealth of emotion: fear, sadness, joy, confusion, and humor, each one a compliment to the other.
