A one-trick pony? Hardly.
The beauty of the pacing, like a nocturne, the ever deepening sadness of Kidman, the realization that her marriage had ended and she was alone with the children...a beautiful picture of all-consuming love. So what if you figured it out, she hadn't and that's what drives the picture. It's not a police thriller, you know? Nor a detective story. The suspense of trying to figure the picture out almost was a McGuffen.
The children and the servants, I thought, all turned in wonderful performances, as well.
Shock and surprise, I'm trying to say, aren't the hallmark of a successful film of this genre. As Hitch said, any fool can jump from behind a door and scare you.
The Sixth Sense was a fine movie but Bruce Willis ain't no Nicole Kidman-quality actor. Direction? Fuggetaboutit. The Others used a scalpel wherein the SS used a bludgeon.
