I happen to be a bit of a horror nut and combine that with fantasy and I'm in heaven!
I don't quite classify any of M. Night's movies as "horror"...Horror brings to mind things like Hostel. But at any rate, it must be the combination of drama and weirdness. *shrug* I'll agree that good characters seem to be a hard find in a lot of genres, though.
I don't recall a lot of red in Signs or The Sixth Sense either
Can't say about Signs, but I do remember that during the Sixth Sense, there was that one girl who was poisoned by her mom. During the funeral her mom wears a red dress, the roses are red, and the inside of the box containing the tape is red. Haley Joel Osment's tent is also red. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of red for every ghost, but I can't remember the other specifics.
