The Sixth Sense (Collector’s Edition Series) (M. Night Shyamalan)
Actors: Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, Toni Collette, Olivia Williams, Mischa Barton
The Vista Series edition comes beautifully packaged with a second DVD loaded with extras. “Moving Pictures: The Storyboard Process” offers insight into the philosophy and mechanics of director M. Night Shyamalan’s meticulous work process, which involves sketching out every single shot before filming even begins. “Reflections from the Set” highlights the thorough, mutual admiration between cast and crew that seems to have contributed a great deal to the making of a good film. The quick “Rules and Clues” segment is a fun one to watch just before rewatching the movie itself–it shows how much attention was paid to make sure that yes, it really does work. “Between Two Worlds” examines the nature of the afterlife itself, using film clips, medieval paintings, and commentary from academics and The Exorcist author William Peter Blatty to generate a general sense that there just might be something standing right behind you. The deleted scenes are the most interesting feature; though they are well done, it’s clearly a better movie without them. –Ali Davis
