I don't quite classify any of M. Night's movies as "horror"...Horror brings to mind things like Hostel.
I would not say that M. Night is pure horror either, but he does rely heavily on horror elements. His movies tend to span a lot of genres. Probably the closest to being a pure horror movie, imho, is The Sixth Sense, but that also has aspects of suspense and drama.
I'll agree that good characters seem to be a hard find in a lot of genres, though.
*raises bottle of Deer Park water* Amen to that! Most movies--particularly in the horror genre--end up meh for me, largely because I don't really give a crap by the end of it whether the main character(s) live or die! (In some awful cases, I'm glad when they actually off the pesky bitch.... >:^D)
