The Sixth Sense
1999 | Horror | USA | Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
Overview
A child psychologist treats a boy who sees dead people, and the ending detonated the industry: audiences were sworn to secrecy and went back to check. The twist rewired the thriller economy for a decade of imitations. The red door handle, the birthday party tape, and Toni Collettes frozen kitchen scene. A ghost story built with total patience, and it earned its shock.
