Has M. Night Shyamalan been secretly filming a new horror movie?

Last month we learned M. Night Shyamalan will be working with Bruce Willis again for the romantic drama LABOR OF LOVE, but has he also been stealthily directing a new movie? Shyamalan recently tweeted this picture of a slate for a movie called SUNDOWNING, and although no one is sure what the film is about, some think it could be a horror movie.

M. Night Shyamalan has directed a few thrillers, but none of his films have been straight-up horror. Based on the title alone, SUNDOWNING could possibly be about vampires or some global catastrophe involving the sun (hey, I'm just guessing here), but sundowning is also a psychological phenomenon some patients with forms of dementia (Alzheimer's, for example) experience when the sun sets.

With LABOR OF LOVE not being the typical type of film from M. Night Shyamalan, will he also be exploring the horror genre with SUNDOWNING? And why is this the first we're hearing about this project? There hasn't been an official announcement or anything, so what the hell is SUNDOWNING? I'm sure there will be more news about the new film in the future, but right now there is very little information on SUNDOWNING.
