Director
M. Night Shyamalan
American filmmaker born August 6, 1970 in Mahé, Puducherry, India, and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs. Built his name on tightly constructed thrillers hinged on a late structural reveal -- The Sixth Sense (1999) set the template his work is still measured against, and later films like Unbreakable, Signs, and Split return to the same interest in hidden truths hiding in plain sight.
