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.
