  1. > Collette told Q With Tom Power that she didn’t realize that The Sixth Sense was a horror movie when she began filming.

    > “I just thought it was a beautiful, spiritual story,” she said, laughing.

  2. i loved the twist ending of The Sixth Sense, where they revealed that Bruce Willis would be going back to making shitty movies. Didn’t see it coming!

  6. I thought the same thing never occurred to me to think it is a horror movie.

  7. I’m just going to imagine she’s talking about Hereditary instead.

  9. The scene with her and her son in the car is world class acting

  10. I still love this and Stir of Echos with Keven Bacon

  11. is it horror though? clever writing with carefully planned twists perhaps

  12. I wouldn’t call it a horror film. Supernatural thriller maybe

  14. The Village cemented M Night as a guy who just does big twists but imagine if The Village came out before 6th Sense. Instead of being kinda forgettable, people would have been talking about it for months/years

  16. Same, I saw it at 11 yo and wasn’t scared at all, and never though of it as a horror film, more like a suspense or drama one with supernatural elements

  17. I don’t like horror movies and I love the sixth sense

  18. TIL The Sixth Sense is a horror movie. Who woulda thought?

  19. Admittedly it has been a while, but I remember it being more of a mystery thriller type

  20. I don’t think any of M Night Shalaman’s movies are horror. Just suspense movies with a twist.

  21. I’ve seen it and I didn’t think it was a horror film either.

  22. I thought it had some horror elements. The girl in the tent…the boy with his head blown off…the people being hung at the school…the ghost dude inside the trap door/closet.

    I can call it horror.

  23. Shaft was a movie about the friends you make if you just put yourself out there.

  25. I get a lump in my throat just thinking about the conversation they have in the car about her mother
