M. Night Shyamalan redefined modern supernatural thriller cinema with his signature blend of atmospheric dread and jaw-dropping revelations (Old).
His directorial stamp is unmistakable: meticulous pacing, spiritual undertones, and twist endings that recontextualize everything.
From The Last Airbender to the Unbreakable trilogy, Shyamalan crafts stories where the supernatural intersects with deeply human emotions.
Recent works like Split (2016) and Old (2021) continue his exploration of extraordinary circumstances affecting ordinary people.
