THE SIXTH SENSE

Special Features: 25th Anniversary

‘90s action superstar Bruce Willis turns in a restrained yet captivating performance as a child psychologist rattled after a violent encounter with a former patient. After befriending troubled eight-year-old Cole (Haley Joel Osment, in one of the finest onscreen child performances), Malcolm (Willis) is determined to atone for his past failings and heal the boy, who claims he “sees dead people.” Malcolm is naturally skeptical of this supposed sixth sense, but, as he works with Cole, he discovers some truth to the claim that there are spirits wandering the earth, unaware that they are no longer living… This chilling supernatural thriller — nominated for six Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for the10-year-old Osment — established M. Night Shyamalan as a preeminent voice in cinema at the turn of the millennium. Twenty-five years later, it remains a haunting watch. DIR/SCR M.
