The Sixth Sense is a psychological thriller movie made in 1999. This movie tells a story about a young boy named Cole who lives a troubled life because he can see and hear dead people. Dr. Malcolm Crowe is a child psychologist that helps this boy deal with his troubles trying to find a way to cure them. This movie makes wide use of religious imagery. In the beginning of the movie, Cole is playing with toy soldiers inside the church and cites the first line in Psalm 130 in Latin, "De profundis clamo ad te domine". This translates to, "Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord (Psalm 130:1). It gives important clues throughout the movie about the plot and about how both Cole and Malcolm's problems will be resolved. .

             The church is an extremely comfortable place for Cole. He plays freely and has no worries when he is there. Starting the beginning of the movie off with this scene sets the image that God and religion play an important role in this movie. When Cole quotes the first line of Psalm 130 in Latin, this shows Cole crying out for help to God and seeking for His hand. Cole has faith in God that He will lift him up from his troubles. .

             Psalm 130 has a sense of hope and something to look forward too. "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning(Psalm 130:5-6). Even though someone could go through such anguish and hardship, there is always that affirmation or support that the Lord will be there for you because with the Lord comes with firm and non-changing love. The Lord is loyal to His people. This gives a clue at the beginning of the movie that Cole will fight his troubles and will end up relieving himself from torment. .

             Cole was too scared to hear the dead people. He couldn't fully communicate with him because of this fear. The dead people were so vivid that the fear in Cole was immense.
