The Sixth Sense Reviews

All these years later, The Sixth Sense still holds up as an all around great film. The film powerfully portrays the emotional journeys of three separate characters without short-changing any of their stories.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 5, 2025

The film remains a strong and engaging tale, one worthy of its reputation and a rewatch. But this release is not worth the upgrade.

| Oct 20, 2024

A film that left an indelible footprint on the popular culture, a film that remains one of my favorite titles of the 1990s in any genre...

The film’s an extended exercise in flattering the fooled viewer for being a viewer and for being fooled.

| Aug 5, 2024

This is popcorn cinema at its most purely empathetic – a horror film where the true horror is in not being seen, heard or understood by those around us, especially the people we love.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 3, 2024

It is fitting that Shyamalan – the man who revers Spielberg, who filmed homages of his films in the backyard – made a ghost story that feels almost Spielbergian. Its child perspective means The Sixth Sense contains a sense of wonder

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

A breakout hit for all parties involved for good reason. Still manages to be effective and engaging no matter how long you've known the ending, especially thanks to Osment's tortured performance.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 20, 2023

Intelligent and poignant; this is a unique kind of ghost story. The human kind.

| Nov 12, 2021

One of the rare horror films to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, it remain a personal best for the director.

Haley Joel Osment gives one of the best child performances ever, while director/writer M. Night Shyamalan rewards us with one of the best twists of all time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 10, 2021

Boasts a startling twist ending - a trope that isn't a stranger to the genre, but one that writer/director M. Night Shyamalan uses perfectly.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Sep 24, 2020

The Sixth Sense has most importantly been reminding us of how powerful children can be as forces of knowledge, awareness, and healing, if only adults would actually listen to them.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 24, 2020

The end is just the icing on a perfectly designed and cooked cake. [Full Review in Spanish]

At root, his films are patient vindications of crazy faiths, of ghosts and comic book heroes. Loneliness is his theme, and when blessed with courageous performers, as in The Sixth Sense, he can take us just about anywhere.

| Mar 16, 2020

It's simply one of the most affecting, deeply human ghost stories ever made.

| Jan 20, 2020

Anyone wanting a truly good scare, mixed with the sort of heartfelt character investment that makes the plot that much more enthralling, will never be disappointed with The Sixth Sense

| Jun 20, 2019

It's more than just a killer trick: The Sixth Sense holds up because of Bruce Willis's mournful performance as Dr. Malcolm Crowe.

| Mar 26, 2019

One of Hollywood's most accomplished genre films of the last 20 years.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 16, 2018

Shyamalan remains unable to wholeheartedly capture the viewer's interest for the duration of the movie's slightly overlong running time.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 23, 2017

Shyamalan's best film where he knew how to trick us with the history of a boy who sees dead people. It has one of the best endings I've seen in the genre. [Full review in Spanish]
