A movie made for TV that was clearly meant to be a pilot for an on-going series. But as it often goes with made-for-TV pilots, the series never happened. A shame, really, as 'The Sight' shows good potential and the film is well-executed on all levels. 'The Sight' offers a bit of a strange mixture of mystery, thriller, horror & a touch of comedy. But somehow it works quite well. Pretty stylish too. Maybe nothing too special in general and it feels a bit too artificial at times. But as it hints at, a TV-series could have taken an interesting route with the material offered. The protagonist is a guy who inherits the ability to communicate with ghosts. Him and the ghosts end up working together to identify (and possibly defeat?) a serial killer. Just seek out a copy and watch the rest for yourself. Director at the helm of this project is Paul W.S. Anderson, who has a nice track record when it comes to science fiction & horror movies. On his filmography you'll find some quality genre entertainment like 'Event Horizon', 'Soldier' and some of the 'Resident Evil' films. 'The Sight' makes up for a nice addition and somewhat of a different kind of movie than what we're used to coming from Mr. Anderson.

I watched this movie because the story seemed interesting and because the director was Paul W.S. Anderson. He is the director of Resident Evil. I'm very glad I watched this TV-movie, because the direction was excellent, especially the cinematography. But also the music by Jocelyn Pook was very good! The acting was pretty good too and the story (also written by Paul W.S. Anderson) was interesting. Only the end might be a bit confusing. But as I said, the cinematography is excellent and the special effects are very good (certainly for a TV-film). For example the post-apocalyptic scene in New-York was excellent! The music is perfect for this movie and brings it to an even higher level.

watched this tonight for the 1st time. not as good as 6th sense, but still kept me rioted to the TV. would watch it again in a heartbeat.it was good to see Americans and Brits working hand in hand. i liked that the psychic (sp?) worked with more than 1 ghost like in 6th sense.also included humor in the interactions between Michael and the "ghosts".I enjoyed watching Desoto (Emergancy -- Squad 51) in a more modern role. Loved him then and enjoyed seeing him in a different type role. It was nice to see that he has "aged well" and is still acting.

I watched this film by accident really, because I had never heard of it and am usually a little sceptical about tv films. As it turned out, I'm glad I gave it a chance. It has a good story, good actors and interesting cinematography (especially the lighting - blue is my favourite colour!). I didn't quite get the Alice in Wonderland references though... Unfortunately I missed the first fifteen minutes, which may explain why I didn't understand the rather cosmic last scene... I was hoping the sequel or maybe the series would tell me, but it so happens neither have ever been made. A shame really, because it's a very promising film. And surprisingly good for a "mere" tv production.
