Back when he was a film student at NYU, Shyamalan wrote, directed, produced and starred in this feature about a young man who returns from the U.S. (where he was raised) to India (where he’s from) to participate in a college exchange program at his mother’s behest. While in India, he learns about his late father and about the sometimes stark differ...
Judging by the title (and the fact that Shyamalan is so renowned for churning out psychological thrillers), you’d be forgiven for presuming Wide Awake is about, say, a family who mysteriously finds themselves unable to fall asleep no matter how tired they are. But, nope: Believe it or not, it’s a kiddie dramedy—although one that grapples with quest...
The Sixth Sense is the movie that catapulted both Shyamalan and young child actor Haley Joel Osment onto Hollywood’s A-list, the movie that earned both of them their first Oscar nominations, and the movie that still makes people say “I see dead people.” Bruce Willisdelivers a low-key fantastic performance as Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist who ...
Shyamalan and Willis reunited for this movie about a seemingly ordinary man and father named David Dunn who questions the true nature of his existence after he’s the sole survivor of a brutal train crash. Samuel L. Jackson plays a strange figure who comes into David’s life post-crash and goads him along on his strange, supernatural journey toward s...
Aliens attack! Shyamalan veers into E.T. territory while continuing to examine themes about religion, faith and otherworldliness as he’d done in past films. A priest named Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) has left the church following his wife’s death in a gruesome car crash. When space creatures inexplicably start descending to Earth, he must protect his ...
Shyamalan’s luck with twist endings may have run out with The Village, another tense-till-the-end thriller that had viewers saying “huh?” instead of “woah!” when the third-act surprise was revealed. Phoenix is back in the Shyamalanverse as Lucius Hunt, a villager in a 19th-century town (or is it?) that’s apparently long been terrified by unspeakabl...
After making psychological thrillers, extra-terrestrial thrillers, superhero thrillers and maybe one downright schlocky thriller, Shyamalan tried his hand at a fantasy thriller with this movie about a water nymph (Howard again) who appears in the pool of a Philadelphia apartment complex. The complex’s super (Paul Giamatti) takes it upon himself to ...
What happens in The Happening? A high school science teacher (Mark Wahlberg) and his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) hightail it out of Philadelphia after people in big cities in the northeastern U.S. mysteriously start committing mass suicide. Along the way, they try to figure out what’s making people kill themselves, ultimately realizing that Mother ...
Talk about a twist: Shyamalan pressed pause on the whole psychological-thriller thing to write and direct this live-action, fantasy flick based on the animated Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender. And here’s another twist: The Last Airbender often appears on worst-movies-of-all-time lists, raking in nine Razzie nominations and two wins fo...
Shyamalan’s streak of poor reviews continued with this post-apocalyptic drama that, on the surface, had all the makings of a hit. The futuristic film starred real-life father and son Will and Jaden Smith as pretend father and son Cypher and Kitai Raige, who live with the rest of humanity in the 31st century on a planet called Nova Prime. When their...
