Every M Night Shyamalan Movie Twist Ranked, From ‘Sixth Sense’ to ‘Split’ (Photos)
Ever since “The Sixth Sense,” Shyamalan has been known for spooky, dramatic movies with giant, mind-blowing twists in their plots.
Shyamalan starts off strong, building a movie in which supernatural-seeming events are driving people to commit suicide.
Everything in Mel’s life, including the tragic and really very horrific death of his wife, has been part of God’s extremely intricate and unnecessarily mean plan.
A man suffers from a split personality: some of the personalities are evil, and some can actually manifest physical differences, like strength.
[...] the twist: the movie is set in the same universe as “Unbreakable,” making it a supervillain origin story and setting up a clash with Bruce Willis‘ character from that movie (at some later time in another film)!
Two kids go on an extended visit with their grandparents, but the grandparents are creepy and there’s definitely something not right about the grandmother, who seems like a different, much more dangerous person at night.
The Shyamalan classic, about a psychiatrist who treats a boy who says he can see dead people who need his help to let go of their lives.
Shyamalan gives just enough hints to make audiences scream “Of course!” once they realize Bruce Willis has been a ghost the whole time, and adds new context that makes you want to start the movie over and look for all the clues.
After he’s the sole survivor of a train derailment, Bruce Willis is approached by Samuel L. Jackson, who’s convinced Willis actually a nearly invulnerable comic book-like legend.
Jackson, a man with very brittle bones, was convinced his comic-like opposite had to exist, and caused the derailment and lots of other deadly accidents in an attempt to find Willis and give his own life meaning — as a supervillain.
