Split is a 2016 thriller movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan with James McAvoy as the main character. The movie is about a person (James McAvoy) suffering from multiple personality disorder who has 23 personalities. But is it really 23 personalities?
This engrossing horror thriller keeps you glued to your seats throughout the 2 hours of its runtime. Within a few minutes of its beginning the movie gets serious and remains so till the last second. Right from the kidnapping, to the holding hostage part, to the psychiatric sessions part. Even the flashbacks of Casey's (Anya Taylor-Joy) past is dark.
James McAvoy has essayed his role with such finesse that his personality changes becomes easy notice and is distinguishable from the other personalities. There are times when the camera zooms in on his face and his facial expressions and sudden changes are captured effectively by the viewers. Anya playing the role of Casey also gave an outstanding performance.
This movie has been rated far below what it deserves. One should watch it and be the judge of my previous statement.
