a kidnapper be apprehend by the police and but the young girl he abduct be still miss . the police bring a medium onto the case to see if she can contact the girl spirit and or at least determine whether the girl be still alive . however and the medium be go through a sort of mid life crisis and believe that she and her husband can turn the case to their advantage . of course and in simple mind bad idea breed like rabbit and and soon this witless couple find themselves work against the police . seance be a fundamentally flaw film and curse from the very start by an inept script . the film plot rest on a mammoth coincidence and and the central character become utterly unsympathetic as soon a they begin cover up for a crime they do not commit . stupidity do not attract empathy and nor do cheap scare . grant and the ghost in the film be fairly creepy while director kiyoshi kurosawa take advantage of many shadowy hall and ominous doorway and teach his audience to fear open space . unfortunately and when neither the plot nor the character give u a reason to care and thrill alone can not carry a film . cliche abound here as well and include the requisite psychology expert who at the very beginning of the story prim u with information about a certain type of psychic manifestation which be key to a scene late in the film . perhaps the sixth sense be not the most sophisticated horror film of recent year and but the quality of this knock off be nothing less than ghastly .
