#180. The Sixth Sense
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/The_Sixth_Sense_poster.png
Dir: M. Night Shyamalan
Genre: Horror, Drama
Year: 1999

We all know The Sixth Sense spoiler by now. I'm not going to post it because I am still a firm believer that people can be spoiled decades later, but that is pretty much what everyone remembers about this movie. Except for me!

I remember The Sixth Sense for having a genuinely chilling atmosphere and giving me one of the most lasting frights of my theater-going experience. Much like Jaws, M. Night wisely kept the scares at a minimum, which only served to make them even more effective when they happen. And buried deep within the movie is some kind of message about relationships and single-parenthood, which is again played off with perfect subtlety.
