Once, not too long ago, Manoj Shayamalan was regarded as the voice of the chill kingdom in America. As an Indian, I felt very proud of him when "The Sixth Sense" in 1999 was hailed as a pioneering shiver-giver. It was a courageous spine-chiller which spawned many rip-offs and imitations, some of them sadly emerging from Shyamalan's own tired repertoire.
