My wife just rented The Others last night. Same thing there: that'd would've been an absolutely great movie. Except for one thing: I've already seen The Sixth Sense.
But the delivery of the plot was so much different in
The Others. Granted, I was pretty sure early on that Nicole and the Kids were dead, but I didn't realize that the housekeepers were also dead until much later on. It was enough to make it stand out on its own, and to be honest, the reason I thought that it was much better than
The 6th Sense is quite simple: I figured out that Bruce was dead within the first 15 minutes of the movie, so it kinda ruined it for me, though I still like it.
By the way, if you're ever in the mood for a good ol' action movie with ghosts, I definately recommend
13 Ghosts. Sure, it's not the original, but there's plenty of good lines, a couple of really interesting characters, and the effects are top notch.
On a side note, has anybody seen
Unbreakable? If you did see it, and you didn't like it, try watching it again. Why? Well, the first time I watched it, I got bored really fast. The plot didn't grip me and the character development was slower than watching grass grow. However, the second time I watched it, I picked up a lot more than before, and it only gets better every time I see it. It's too bad that it didn't make much money, as it was supposed to kick off a complete series about Bruce's character.
