The best movie he's come up with.

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2019)

The Sixth Sense came out of nowhere and stunned audiences worldwide. It was daring, inventive and had a twist at the end that cemented M Night Shyamalan as a true auteur. He was heralded as being the next Stephen Spielberg but it seems all this went to his head and he peaked too soon because while his next movie was well received it started a long line of increasingly bad movies. But let's only talk of this one.
The movie starts with a young boy who is having trouble in his life because he can, as the movie states, "see dead people". Essentially he sees the ghosts of people that have passed on and they still require some kind of action to take place before they're able to leave this world. Enter Bruce Willis playing a psychiatrist who helps the boy come to terms with this ability of his and how to maybe help those that are trapped in this world.
The movie is inventive. It's well done. It's shot nicely and the actors are giving their all. It's truly a great movie that surprised a lot of people when it came out. Not only due to the story but the twist at the end which a lot of people were genuinely surprised at.
However, his follow up to this, "Unbreakable", while a decent movie in and of itself is not as good and each movie afterwards got steadily worse. Showing that maybe M Night Shyamalan's work needed some work.
But this one is genuinely good. You should check it out if you haven't already.
