M. Night Shyamalan
M.
Night Shyamalan is an American filmmaker known for supernatural thrillers with twist endings, most famously *The Sixth Sense*.
His name has become shorthand for unexpected plot reversals: I didn't see that coming—very M. Night Shyamalan.
The association is so strong that "Shyamalan twist" functions as its own term for a late-story revelation that reframes everything before it.
