Originally intended as a direct-to-video sequel, the film was upgraded to theatrical release only to have the filmmakers scrap half the movie to rework it to get the project on par with the first Toy Story.

The film that would go on to launch the career of the singular M. Night Shyamalan, a name would become synonymous with the phrase “twist ending.” The Sixth Sense would embody everything that people would go on to love about the director and his intricate work. A film with all the trappings of a supernatural thriller but wrapped with empathy and hum...
