<\/p>\nThese days, M. Night Shyamalan is something of a controversial director thanks to the varying quality of his filmography: for every provocative hit like Split, there\u2019s a stinker like Trap or The Happening. That controversy is old and bitter enough to potentially scare audiences new and old away from the director\u2019s work. However, Shyamalan\u2019s breakout film The Sixth Sense is even better than you remember, and you can experience all its ghostly glory by streaming it on Hulu.<\/p>\n
The premise of The Sixth Sense is that a recently-traumatized child psychologist (he was shot months before) has a new patient: a young boy who claims he can see dead people. At first, it sounds like the kid simply suffers from schizophrenia, but there are increasing signs that he may be telling the truth. By the time the shrink successfully bridges the worlds of the living and the dead, it\u2019s clear that neither his life nor the boy\u2019s will ever be the same.<\/p>\n
I See Celeb People<\/p>\n
The Sixth Sense is full of some big names, including Bruce Willis (best known for the action epic Die Hard<\/a>) as the child psychologist who finds himself in over his head with his new patient. That patient is played by Haley Joel Osment, best known outside this film for Steven Spielberg\u2019s ambitious film A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Meanwhile, his mother is played by Toni Collette, best known outside this movie for the hit horror film Hereditary.<\/p>\n There are other surprising performers in this film, including Donnie Wahlberg and Mischa Barton. Mostly, though, this movie is a master class in acting for both Willis and Osment: for action veteran Willis, this movie cemented the fact that he could do more serious and nuanced roles. As for the young Osment, this movie helped to make him a bona fide star, and rightfully so\u2026he\u2019s one of the most talented and memorable child actors to ever grace the silver screen.<\/p>\n A Major Horror Hit Additionally, The Sixth Sense is one of those horror movies with major mainstream appeal: against a budget of $40 million, it earned $672.8 million. This was enough box office to establish M. Night Shyamalan<\/a> as a successful Hollywood director, and his next film was the unconventional superhero drama Unbreakable. That follow-up movie kicked off an interconnected Shyamalan universe comprised of Unbreakable, Split, and Glass, a bit like the director\u2019s answer to the Marvel<\/a> Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/9072858d7a6aaa3ed97ab32202426383.jpeg\"\/)
