It is a very violent tape, so be careful if you are one of the impressed people!
The Sixth Sense – Hulu
From 1999 and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, it has become another of the film classics of our era. It is a film that addresses the genre of supernatural psychological suspense, although many people consider it to be a "horror" movie. But what is its plot?
Well, starring Bruce Willis, it's about a child psychologist who seeks to help a child face his "supernatural powers." The curious thing about this film is that it goes from "less" to "more", given that it has one of the most iconic and representative plot twists in the history of the seventh art.
This also makes it a classic that cannot be missing from your list.
