Director M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most original and visionary filmmakers of his generation.
Often compared to the great Steven Spielberg himself, Shyamalan emerged in the late 1990s with his Academy Award-nominated blockbuster, ‘The Sixth Sense. Perfecting his trademark “twist ending”, Shyamalan has delighted fans with surprising films like ‘Unbreakable’, its sequels ‘Split’ and ‘Glass’, ‘Signs’, ‘The Village’ and most recently ‘Old’.
After four seasons as director and showrunner on the Apple TV+ series ‘Servant’, Shyamalan returns to the big screen with his latest psychological horror film ‘Knock at the Cabin’, starring Dave Bautista and hitting theaters on February 3.
In honor of its release, Moviefone has ranked every filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has ever directed, including his most recent film.
Without further ado, let’s get started!
