With his latest film, KnockattheCabin, about to hit theaters, we rank all of director MNightShyamalan's movies, from The Sixth Sense to Old.
Say what you will about M. Night Shyamalan, but there’s no denying he has a distinctive narrative style that separates him from his contemporaries. The Indian American filmmaker rose to international stardom with his game-changing 1999 horror film The Sixth Sense, cementing himself as the go-to director for daring and twisty plots that captivate fans of thinking-person thrillers.
12. The Happening The Happening‘s premise is intriguing and certainly worth exploring. However, the film shows signs of Shyamalan’s early self-centered approach to storytelling. In his insistence on subverting expectations and finding something clever to say, the director ended up saying nothing. 10. Wide Awake Shyamalan’s first Hollywood feature film was Wide Awake, a coming-of-age story starring a young Joseph Cross. The plot centers on a 10-year-old boy who begins a journey of self-discovery following the passing of his beloved grandfather. Rosie O’Donnell plays a key supporting role as a baseball-loving nun.
8. Glass Following the surprise success of Split, Shyamalan released the highly anticipated follow-up, a film that also served as a sequel to Unbreakable. The film stars James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, and Samuel L. Jackson and follows their respective characters — David Dunn, Kevin Wendell Crumb, and Elijah Price — in a psychiatric institution for people who believe themselves to have super abilities.
6. Old By 2021, fans knew what they were getting into with an M. Night Shyamalan film. However, Shyamalan was entering a new stage in his career, confidently guiding his movies with the right balance of showmanship and narrative pace. Old, a film about a mysterious and secluded beach that causes its visitors to age rapidly, might be the best example.
4. The Visit Following a string of box-office flops and critically panned movies, Shyamalan returned to form with the small, chilling found-footage horror film The Visit. The story follows two siblings staying with their estranged grandparents for a week while their mother goes on vacation. However, strange things happen that make the siblings fear for their safety.
