M. Night Shyamalan's filmmaking career has experienced notable highs and dramatic public fluctuations, characterized by massive early critical success followed by a challenging slump and a subsequent independent resurgence. He achieved stratospheric global fame with his breakthrough 1999 supernatural thriller "The Sixth Sense," followed by acclaimed hits like "Unbreakable" and "Signs." However, subsequent big-budget studio projects faced critical panning and box office disappointment. Rather than fading away, Shyamalan reinvented his career by self-financing his own mid-budget psychological thrillers, such as "The Visit," "Split," and "Glass," reclaiming his reputation as an original auteur known for high-concept twists.
