M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller The Sixth Sense follows child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) as he tries to help a young boy, Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), who sees dead people.

This film’s eerie subtlety makes it a timeless 1990s terror.

2. The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez’s The Blair Witch Project revolutionized horror with its found-footage style, following three student filmmakers who disappear in the Maryland woods while investigating a local legend.
