The Witch (2015). This tale of a 1630s outcast Puritan family troubled by paranormal activity tends to be divisive.
The Sixth Sense (1999). Bruce Willis portrays a child psychologist treating a boy (Haley Joel Osment) who claims to see ghosts. The third-act twist will only help you better appreciate Shyamalan’s sleight-of-hand.
