'''''The Sixth Sense''''' is a 1999 American [[supernatural drama horror film]] written and directed by [[M. Night Shyamalan]]. The film tells the story of Cole Sear ([[Haley Joel Osment]]), a troubled, isolated boy who is able to see and talk to the dead, and an equally troubled [[child psychologist]] named Malcolm Crowe ([[Bruce Willis]]) who tries to help him. The film established Shyamalan as a writer and director, and introduced the cinema public to his traits, most notably his affinity for [[plot twist|surprise ending]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a29642/the-sixth-sense-ending/|title=Why The Sixth Sense Ending Has Never Been Matched|last=Howard|first=Michael|work=[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]|date=August 8, 2014|accessdate=August 13, 2018}}</ref>
