The Rio Theatre's deep dive into Y2K movie goodness continues with a 25th Anniversary screening of one of the heaviest hitters - of any genre - from that era, M. Night Shyamalan's palpably epic, game-changing white knuckle-thrill ride, THE SIXTH SENSE

Young Cole Sear is haunted by a dark secret: he is visited by ghosts. Cole is frightened by visitations from those with unresolved problems who appear from the shadows. He is too afraid to tell anyone about his anguish, except child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe. As Dr. Crowe tries to uncover the truth about Cole's supernatural abilities, the consequences for client and therapist are a jolt that awakens them both to something unexplainable.With Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, Toni Collette.

"A film that left an indelible footprint on the popular culture, a film that remains one of my favorite titles of the 1990s in any genre... " (Chicago Sun-Times)

"You leave slightly asquirm. You know it will linger. It becomes a clammy, chilly movie building toward a revelation that you cannot predict. As I say: I cannot tell you. You'd hate me if I did. I can only say, don't look now, but look sometime." (Washington Post)

"A delicate, emotionally attentive, but very scary ghost story." (New Yorker)
