Classic Horror Mystery on Hulu Gives Controversial Director His Biggest Career Hit Uptrends

The sixth sense it was an immediate success was successful upon its release and quickly became the second highest-grossing film of 1999, despite M. Night Shyamalan’s status as a relatively unknown filmmaker. Today, The sixth sense offers the highest Rotten Tomatoes rating of any Shyamalan film to date, with a near-perfect critical score of 86 percent.

Personally, I find this to be one of the only releases in Shyamalan’s catalog that can be fully appreciated without a veil of irony, unlike the director’s so-bad-it’s-good projects like The event, Oldor his last release, Trap.
