Director M. Night Shyamalan is celebrated for breakout hits like The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. However, he often faces criticism for inconsistent storytelling and reliance on twist endings. Some will also point to his massive swing and misses, such as Lady in the Water, The Happening, and After Earth. This scrutiny might peg him as overhated because of his bold commitment to original, genre-blending narratives. He often tackles themes of faith, family, and the supernatural, which sets him apart in an industry leaning on remakes and franchises.
Films like Split and Old showcase his ability to craft unsettling, thought-provoking experiences on modest budgets, while his early masterpieces redefined suspense for a generation. The backlash often amplifies his misfires, overshadowing his risk-taking creativity and knack for eliciting strong performances, like James McAvoy’s in Split. It feels like the criticism, earned or not, has overshadowed the times he has been great.
