Inner Senses (2002)
I'll bet you think this is a horror movie about a ghost. You'd lose that bet. What this is really is a soppy therapy drama dressed in ghost-story finery. (Call it Good Will Haunting.) Occasionally it remembers that it's supposed to be scary and tosses out a half-hearted jolt, but mostly it's about healing. Which is not what I need when I sit down to watch a movie about ghosts. As good as The Sixth Sense is, sometimes I think it would be nice if it never existed. (And this dross represents the last work of Leslie Cheung, which makes it doubly sad that it's basically shit.)
Grade: C-
