The film has many thriller conventions, for example it begins with someone getting revenge. An old patient comes and shoots the Dr. Malcolm. It also definitely has psychological themes throughout. The principle of concealment is also used to hide the fact that Malcolm died.
I SEE DEAD PEOPLE SCENE
The big plot twist is that the main character is actually a ghost. When he got shot at the start of the film, he actually died. However, there were clues for the audience. For example, after the audience finds out about Cole being able to see dead people, the shot of Malcolm lasts quite a considerably long time. Some people have interpreted this as a way of making the audience work to notice that Malcolm is actually dead. Another thing that is used in the film is eerie music. It really helps to add to the tenseness of the situation and puts the audience on edge.
