Many actresses described him as aggressive and uncouth, and by today's standards he could be convicted of sexual harassment - he was known to torture his actresses, driving them to the very edge in his egotistical perfectionism and watching over them during breaks through holes in the walls - but we must not ignore the fact that he knew how to bring out the best in them, and he also emphasized their beauty through clothes. See the best dressed actresses in his films.

M. Night Shyamalan shut the mouths of all doubters with last year's "cracking" film The Visit (filmed using the found footage technique) and proved that he still has his former sharpness. He rose to fame with The Sixth Sense (1999), but seven years later, the failure of the horror film Undersea Girl nearly cost him his career. Fortunately, this was not the last nail in his coffin, as the former hope of American cinema is experiencing a second film spring and is slowly returning to the paths of old glory. After a promising return to his roots, he will once again prove himself to the audience in the film Split, when he will take us not only into the dark underground corridors of a mental patient, in which as many as 23 personalities are trapped, but also into the dark corners of the human mind.
