Scary Movie Review

The Sixth Sense


My Favorite Scary movie is the Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis who plays a psychiatrist named Crowe. This movie is based upon a troubled and isolated boy, named Cole who is able to talk to and see dead people, who sometimes don’t know they are dead, and due to this fact has to visit a shrink to help him.  Cole seeing dead people, pertains to the title of the movie, which means that you notice or see things that are necessarily on the surface and knowing things that others don’t. Cole is taught by Crowe to accept ghosts in his life and to use his gift to help people, which he later does. During this time, Crowe notices that his relationship with his wife has deteriorated, and believes she is ignoring him due to an affair she is having. Crowe later realizes that he died months ago due to a gun shot by one of his deranged patients.  Crowe recalls Cole’s advice, saying that he can set him and his wife free, by whispering to her that he loves her. This is ironic because the whole time Cole was explaining to Crowe on how he saw dead people who sometimes didn’t know they were dead; Crowe never knew that he was also dead. In this movie, the viewers are captivated in one way of viewing the movie and what they believe will happen which is altered by the twist ending. This is my favorite scary movie because it is not just meant to be scary, but shows the character’s paths to self discovery and acceptance, and of learning to communicate. I also really liked the fact the movie wasn’t just a thriller and a ‘lights off’ scary movie, but was also a love story between Crowe and his wife.
