Summary:
Well before "the twist" had become M. Night Shyamalan's cinematic calling card and spoiler alerts became ubiquitous in movie reviews, there was The Sixth Sense. Written and directed by Shyamalan, who had been working on the script since he was twenty-five, the 1999 film was a landmark in on-screen storytelling and the evolution of the horror and supernatural thriller genres. With a cast that included Bruce Willis, Mischa Barton, Toni Collette, Donnie Wahlberg, Olivia Williams, and Haley Joel Osment, it earned six Oscar nominations and made Shyamalan a household name overnight, launching a career that would include such movies as Signs, Unbreakable, The Visit, Split, and Old. In I See Dead People, entertainment journalist Mackenzie Nichols weaves together interviews with Shyamalan, the movie's stars, and others into an oral history of how this iconic movie was made. In addition to a collective account of the unusual filming process--principal photography took place in the eerie, soon-to-be-demolished Philadelphia Convention Center, with artificial "cold rooms" built so Osment's breath could be seen--Nichols explores the movie's surprising success and lasting influence, and even speaks with professional mediums about how it shaped public perception of the paranormal. The result is a fascinating, kaleidoscopic, and at times spooky portrait of how one film unexpectedly changed the course of modern moviemaking.
