Movies directed by M. Night Shyamalan

The Sixth Sense (1999)

103 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

Let me just say, that for all the things which are wrong with "The Sixth Sense", writer/ director M. Night Shyamalan has created a very good thriller which works exceptionally well on different levels. For those who want to w...

Unbreakable (2000)

106 mins     Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi      

I got bored the first time I watched "Unbreakable", if I remember correctly, as it was many years ago, I started to do other stuff whilst it was on. It was slow moving and seemed to be going nowhere, setting things up which s...

Signs (2002)

102 mins     Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

"Signs" is a fall back to the days of the good old Hitchcock thriller, where the film is primarily set in one location, being in this case the house. Plus instead of showing us everything, we are aloud to use our own minds to...

The Village (2004)

108 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller

Lady in the Water (2006)

110 mins     Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller

The Happening (2008)

91 mins     Sci-Fi, Thriller      

The Happening: Mark Wahlberg is the teacher caught in the midst of a mysterious evironmental disaster as people start killing themselves for no reason...

The Last Airbender (2010)

103 mins     Action , Adventure , Family      

I cannot remember the last time a movie did such a poor job of getting my attention, even some of the slowest indie movies I have suffered have done a better job of engaging with me than "The Last Airbender" managed. And I ev...

After Earth (2013)

100 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

Did you know the original concept for "After Earth" was to be a camping trip between a father and son which goes bad and whilst not an original concept I would bet a lot of money that the end result would have been a heck of ...
