Description

"Critical Approaches to the Films of M. Night Shyamalan: Spoiler Warnings represents the first serious academic engagement with auteur director M. Night Shyamalan and his work. The essays, including contributions from established film scholars David Sterritt, Murray Pomerance, Emmanuel Bordeau, R. Barton Palmer, Matt Hills, and Katherine Fowkes, explore Shyamalan's Hollywood blockbusters from The Sixth Sense to The Happening in terms of their themes, aesthetics, and marketing, and attend as well to the production of Shyamalan himself as a celebrity director. Taken together, the collection recognizes and explores Shyamalan's "star status" and offers the concerted analysis that Shyamalan as cultural phenomenon requires"--Provided by publisher.
