I saw "The Sixth Sense", "Unbreakable" (extremely underrated IMHO) and "Signs". There is some a comfort in with familiarty with a locaation, I grew up and live in South Cental Jersey which left more of a Pennsylvania imprint rather than a New York imprimt. That familiarity also provides the likelihood factor, the "it can happen here" neck hair raising response.
forgot my original thought, one of the best quotes I've read was from Diamonnd David Lee Roth, "The reason so many rock critics like Elvis Costello is because so many rock critics LOOK like Elvis Costello!"
