*****
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Bruce Willis, Haley-Joel Osment, Toni Collette, Olivia Williams

This haunting, atmospheric and brilliantly crafted thriller turned M. Night Shyamalan into a household name overnight. The story is gripping throughout but most famous for its shock ending which forces you to reassess everything you've just seen. Bruce Willis plays a psychiatrist who tries to help a young troubled boy. Haley Joel Osment is spectacular as the boy, who believes he can see dead people. Shyamalan's career has been continuous downfall since this stunning film.
