The story here is about a guy who looks like Henry Thomas who can see dead people. Through various flashbacks we learn he started having them when he was twelve, soon after his mother died. He and his father didn't get along and when he told his father he sees ghosts his father committed him to a mental hospital. Now, in the present, he fixates on a young woman who also says she can see ghosts. He helps her deliver food to elderly people, though her boss is a real ass and warns him to stay away from her or ELSE.
SIGHT tries really hard to be like THE SIXTH SENSE, but the uneven pacing and more uneven acting derail it. And although I liked that the movie was totally unpredictable the final "surprise" was convoluted. The goofiest thing is that there's a wide range of ethnicity of some of the characters and in one part an Indian, Italian and African-American are supposed to be blood related from the same family. I guess that goes along with the idea that if you have six children one of them will be Indian (as there are over a billion people in that country) and two of them Asian.
