The most iconic horror movie of the ’90s is back to scare us all. “The Sixth Sense” has returned to the Top 10 on Max in the United States, currently ranking seventh in viewership.
Often regarded as the last great horror title, M. Night Shyamalan’s creation has had a lasting impact on global culture. From the famous “I See Dead People” line referenced in Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” to appearances in anime like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, its influence is undeniable and enduring.
It has also been praised by critics for its stunning plot twist, which only the most observant viewers could predict when the production first premiered.
‘The Sixth Sense’ made it to the Max US Top 10
M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most important directors of the last two decades, and his best creation continues to keep us awake at night. Currently, “The Sixth Sense” has experienced a massive resurgence in viewership, making it into the United States Top 10 on Max.

It has already surpassed “Beowulf” and “Gods of Egypt,” two recent additions that have also been among the most-watched in recent days. At the moment, it’s in a close competition with Zac Efron‘s “17 Again” as it continues to climb the chart.
The film tells the story of a child psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe, who tries to help an eight-year-old boy, Cole Sear, that is terrified by his paranormal abilities: he sees spirits trying to tell him the circumstances of their tragic deaths. Crowe, haunted by the memory of a young patient he couldn’t help, sees in the kid an opportunity for redemption.
The cast is absolutely stellar. As it is known, Bruce Willis plays the main role, with his patient being Haley Joel Osment and his wife portrayed by Toni Collette. They are accompanied by Olivia Williams, Donnie Wahlberg, and Glenn Fitzgerald.
According to IMDb trivia, Toni Collette stated that she was so moved by the emotional resonance of the plot while filming that she did not even realize it was a horror film until after its release. Most viewers felt the same way while watching it, so if it’s your first time witnessing the story of Malcolm Crowe, be sure to at least keep a light on.
