When this project fell at my feet, I was indifferent on what movie to choose. I typically enjoy horror movies. I’m not sure why but psychological thrillers have always interested me. I sat for a while and thought about the best scary movie I had ever seen but I couldn’t choose! Halloween is a classic (that piano track will scare the pants off me forever), Sinister is gut wrenching and the plot twist is incredible, and Silence of the Lambs will have me on the edge of my seat no matter how many times I watch it. Although all of these are great movies, I still could not pinpoint my favorite. It didn’t dawn on me until I had a conversation with a fellow scary movie buff at my dinner table. My dad, just like me, is obsessed with scary movies. My boyfriend wont watch them with me and his wife wont watch them with him so we watch them together. He was talking about all the movies that were around when I was a baby and then, it came to me. My favorite horror movie was definitely The Sixth Sense.
In this gripping thriller, Dr. Malcom (Bruce Willis) is a middle aged psychologist treating an 11 year old boy named Cole. Cole has been having hallucinative episodes ever since he was a young boy. As Dr. Malcom and Cole find new ways to cope with Cole’s “hallucinations”, Dr. Malcom learns a terrifying secret about Cole’s condition. Though this secret has to do with Cole, it exposes Dr. Malcom to something significant about his own life, or lack thereof. Possible writing assignment: Though The Sixth Sense has multiple scenes foreshadowing the plot twist, you might miss them the first time you watch it. Watch the movie a second time over and look for these clues that lead us to the plot twist. After watching the movie and seeing all the foreshadowing, reflect on it. Identify the three most important foreshadowing moments in the film leading up to the plot twist. Explain how you think each of these moments contribute to the plot twist and why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG9AGf66tXM
