The 2006 movie that “bothered” M Night Shyamalan: “I take that super-seriously”In 1999, a movie came along starring Bruce Willis as a child psychologist dealing with a troubled young man who can, say it with me now, “see dead people”. The film was, of course, The Sixth Sense, and it got the people talking, catapulting its director, M Night Shyamalan, to global stardom. Moreover, there was also the small matter of the design of the villain, which looked shoddy even by mid-noughties standards. “That was really the only movie I’ve made that lost money for the studio,” he explained, “I take that super-seriously. I never got a chance to get it to the audience because I didn’t know how to sell it.”
