It is said that the trip of life is expensive but the toll of death is free.
But no one is ready to take the free ride.No one wants to try it even once.
Why? Because we are afraid. Afraid of death. Afraid of 'the end'.
The movie is about a 9 year old boy, Cole(Haley Jole Osment) who is haunted by ghosts and a child psychologist Dr. Malcom Crowe(Bruce Willes) who is equally disturbed
because of his wife who is drifting away into her own shell, where there is no place for his husband any more. Dr. Crowe tries to help the kid as a part of his redemption. The film is about the things which grown ups cant see, don't believe, but are brought into that world by a 9 year old boy.
The superb chemistry between Haley and Bruce Willes is what carries the film and keeps the viewer totally engrossed. The looks which they share with each other, their talks, the way Bruce Willes always breaks the ice when the boy is not in a mood of discussing his thoughts makes the movie a class above many psychological dramas. The unpredictable plotting and the uncanny conversations is just a treat for all horror fans.

The denouement of this film is what takes this movie to a new high. The last minute twist will force you to rewind your thoughts to the scenes where all hints were perfectly placed, but the viewer is forced to miss those because of the spectacular direction and handsome screenplay. The movie on the whole moves on a very slow pace forcing its creepiness to sink into the deepest corner of your heart. But the climax is such that it will surely make the viewer to think in a totally different perspective and would make you to give the utmost attention to every single detail.
Watch the film before any one else tells you the climax and spoil the entire fun....
