20 Things You Didn't Know About The Sixth Sense

9. Toni Collette Didn't Realise It Was A Horror Movie

No, not upon first reading the script. No, not upon filming commencing. No, not while shooting was ongoing. No, not even once production had finished and the film had wrapped.

Toni Collette only actually realised that The Sixth Sense was a horror movie once the film hit cinemas in August 1999.

The Oscar-nommed actress has publicly stated how the movie and its story struck a special emotional note with her – to the extent that she was so carried away with that emotion throughout filming that it was only once the picture was released that the penny dropped that this was a horror feature.
