Split (2016)
Written & directed
by M. Night Shyamalan this film stars James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy
and Betty Buckley. A man with multiple personality disorder kidnaps
three teenage girls and holds them hostage awaiting the arrival of
“the beast”.
There are plenty of
films about dissociative identity disorder knocking about and like
many of them this film uses it as a crutch. Hardly revolutionary in
any aspect this is still a decent, if unremarkable genre effort that
has a few nice touches that are unfortunately not properly expanded
on. James McAvoy gets to show off his range but otherwise there is
not a lot to comment on.
3/5
