Writer and directorM. Night Shyamalanis returning to the fully grown screen withOld , which promise to be a refreshed head start for the director who defined innovative suspense moving-picture show in the 2000s . Every one of his undertaking in his two - decade catalogue — from The 6th sentiency all the way through hisUnbreakable trilogy — carry with it a unique theme : fear . So , we wonder , what are his movies afraid of ?

I ’ve compile a leaning of Shyamalan ’s freehanded picture show from the past 22 years , starting with 1999 ’s The Sixth sensory faculty through his upcoming film Old . rather of rank each one on character — because , let ’s be honest , most of us are in agreementabout which one are good and which are risky — I resolve to research what fear is present and explored in each cinema ( keep in head this is a subjective listing but one that is also 100 % correct ) . This culminates in an overall fear that ’s present in all his workplace . Well , except for She ’s All That . Yep , Shyamalan worked on the book for the definitive ‘ 90s “ son meets nerd and gives her a makeover ” motion-picture show . Though the only affair to fear in that one is being “ wack . ”
