The Movie: M. Night Shyamalan’s confident directorial debut, with one of cinema’s most famous rug-pulling twists. Cole (Haley Joel Osment) thinks he can see dead people, so he starts having visits with Bruce Willis’ bemused psychologist. But is Brucie all that he seems?

If It Had Been Found Footage: “I film dead people…” Cole fishes his dad’s old camcorder out of the attic in order to commit his ghostly visitors to celluloid, with seriously spooky results.
