Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday 20th October

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall on Friday, 20th October, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

The Sixth Sense (1999) (15)

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, and Toni Collette
Running time: 1hr 47mins.

Hollywood superstar Bruce Willis brings a powerful presence to an edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller that critics have called one of the best films in recent times.  Dr Malcolm Crowe (Willis) is a distinguished child psychologist haunted by the painful memory of a disturbed young patient he was unable to help.  So when he meets Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) a frightened, confused eight-year-old with a similar condition, Dr Crowe seeks to redeem himself by doing everything he can.  Nonetheless, Malcolm is unprepared to learn the truth of what haunts Cole: terrifying, unwanted visits from the restless inhabitants of the spirit world.  With a riveting intensity you’ll find thoroughly chilling and utterly unforgettable, the discovery of Cole’s incredible 6th sense leads them both to mysterious and unforeseeable consequences.

  • Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
  • Film Club members – Free entry
  • Guests – £4 (cash please)
  • Refreshments available, including a cash bar.
