He's good at a lot of things. I think he sets the moods well and has a keen sense cinematography, but his writing and scripting is poor.

Sixth Sense, sure. But who was the vulnerable child in the Village, or Lady in the Water, or Signs or The Happening or Unbreakable. Just because there's a kid in the movie, that doesn't make him/her vulnerable nor was there a kid in those movies that were as prominant in the movie as Haley Joel was in the Sixth Sense.
And for Christ's sakes, I'm sick and tired of hearing that Night's films are all about the ending. Sixth Sense had a twist. Maybe one of the best in movie history,(if you didnt know about the twist going in, there is no way you saw that coming)......Unbreakable had a twist. Village had a twist. Where was the twist in Lady in the Water?? How about a shocking twist in Signs or a surprise twist in the Happening?? THERE ISN"T!!!! Shyamalan has even said he doesn't want people thinking that he is gonna put a twist in everyone of his films.
So again back to your point, how does M Night follow the same formular in all his movies??
