Editorial Review:
Hollywood superstar Bruce Willis (ARMAGEDDON, THE SIEGE) brings a powerful presence to an edge-of-your-seat thriller from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan (Oscar(R)-nominee for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director) that critics are calling one of the greatest ghost stories ever filmed. When Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Willis), a distinguished child psychologist, meets Cole Sear (Oscar(R)-nominee Haley Joel Osment, Best Supporting Actor), a frightened, confused, eight-year-old, Dr. Crowe is completely unprepared to face the truth of what haunts Cole. With a riveting intensity you'll find thoroughly chilling, the discovery of Cole's incredible sixth sense leads them to mysterious places with unforgettable consequences!
The only bad thing is that M. Night Shyamalan set the bar so high with his first major film, that every movie he has made since has suffered by comparison.
The DVD has some really great special features, the best of which are the deleted scenes, where Night explains his reasoning behind each cut that he made during editing.
Over all, an outstanding movie and a great DVD.
The 1080p transfer is mediocre, with subdued colors, and a flat, two-dimensional look: the mediocrity continues with extras that are warmed over trifles taken from the previous DVD "special edition", which, frankly, weren't all that special. The sound fares a bit better, with the rear speakers used quite effectively at times. A slight, but barely noticeable upgrade in picture quality from the SD edition, for all but the most discernible viewer.
If you don't own any other editions of this film, rent before you buy; owners of the SD edition can safely pass this up... or at least wait, until the price comes down on this one.

An Instant Classic
There is not a lot of negative that can be said about this movie. I saw it in the dollar theatre in early 2000 and was totally taken away by it. The tone, score, screen play, and acting are all supurb.

The Shining and The Sixth Sense
Only two movies have made me scared to walk though my own house: The Shining and the Sixth Sense. 2008-11-13
Sixth Sense BluRay Better Than EVER!!!
This movie has never been better now that it's available on Bluray. I thoroughly enjoyed it the first time I saw it - it was like watching it for the first time again with the amazing clarity and sound quality!!! 2008-11-07
6th Sense looks great in BD. Hit Film, Box Office Hit
I actually like M. Night Shyamalan's later movies much more, beginning with the following Unbreakable and Signs even the Village and on, but yes I like this film and the BD was better all around than the standard DVD. If you have the DVD it is good enough; if you are HD nuts, this is the copy to get. 2008-10-03
Good movie gets mediocre Blu-Ray treatment
Good, if somewhat overrated, film has great atmosphere, intriguing story, fine direction and great acting, especially from young Osment (in his debut film role). Worth seeing for sure, although repeat viewings offer diminishing returns.
The 1080p transfer is mediocre, with subdued colors, and a flat, two-dimensional look: the mediocrity continues with extras that are warmed over trifles taken from the previous DVD "special edition", which, frankly, weren't all that special. The sound fares a bit better, with the rear speakers used quite effectively at times.
