Parents Guide for
The Sixth Sense (1999)

A couple of kisses; in one scene, a man and woman kiss on a couch, then go upstairs to the bedroom and begin to undress (no nudity or even underwear is shown). We see a nude woman through a shower door (her body is blurry but we know she's naked), a man in his underwear for a long time, a boy in his underwear, a woman wearing a bra and a woman in a cleavage-revealing top.

A man shoots another man, puts the gun to his head and kills himself (at that point no blood is shown, but the firing of the shot is surprising and scary; later, we see the bullet hole in the man's stomach, a puddle of blood on the back of the man's shirt and a larger puddle of blood on the couch he's sitting on). Three ghosts are hanging from a ceiling with nooses around their necks. A woman poisons a girl by putting something in her drink. A man punches a glass door. We see the ghost of a woman with a badly burned face, one with blood on her face, one with black eyes and cuts on her wrists, one with blood running down her face and the ghost of a boy with a big patch of blood on the back of his head. We see numerous scars on a boy's forearm and wrists, plus some cuts on his back. A boy gets locked in a closet, and a ghost reaches from under the bed and grabs a boy's leg (both scenes are very frightening). We see many ghosts who appear as they did just before they died; also, ghosts approach, scare and talk to a boy many times (often these scenes are frightening). A ghost vomits and a boy in his underwear urinates in a toilet.

A couple of anatomical and scatological references, a few mild obscenities and some name-calling.

Anna gets some wine from the basement and we then see that both she and Malcolm appear somewhat tipsy. She then tells him "I never told you, but you sound a little bit like Dr. Seuss when you're drunk."

A person or their shadow briefly passes by the camera and into the bathroom. Malcolm then slowly walks over there and discovers a former patient, now grown up, who's broken into their home, acting rather unbalanced and more than a bit creepy (the scene is a minute or so long and quite unnerving). That man then shoots Malcolm and then commits suicide (off camera).

A young boy is locked into a small dark cabinet by two other boys.

A female ghost spews a white liquid from her mouth.

Three people are shown hanging by the neck.

A female ghost bicycle rider is shown bloody.

The temperature is shown to drop when a ghost is present.

But again, the entire plot is based on a young child seeing dead people and it is frightning/intense throughout.
