Night Shyamalan's cinematic calling card and spoiler alerts were de rigueur for online movie reviews, there was The Sixth Sense. Written and directed by Shyamalan, who had been working on the script since he was 25, 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, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn I See Dead People, entertainment journalist Mackenzie Nichols weaves together interviews with Shyamalan, the movie's stars, crew members, and others into an oral history of how this iconic movie was made. Nichols gives a collective account of the unusual filming process--principalphotography took place in the soon-to-be-demolished Philadelphia Convention Center, in which cast and crew experienced inexplicable paranormal phenomena--traces the movie's surprising success and lasting influence, and even speaks with professional mediums about how itshaped 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e MacKenzie Nichols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493072285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493072286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Applause Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2023 pg. 1","brand":"MacKenzie Nichols","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129062682879,"sku":"9781493072286","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1392b49d-eaf6-4a66-a111-32e1686cabbd.jpg?v=1687461850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-see-dead-people-mackenzie-nichols-9781493072286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
