Review of Split (2017) by Dizzyreviews — 17 Apr 2017

Spoilers Ahead. You have been warned.

First Viewing: A fresh horror film with some unexpected turns. After my viewing I have to say it was a solid 8/10 with some of my expectations blown away. Now upon the first look of this movie I turned it away thinking it to be a bottom tier quick buck horror film until I noticed some positive reviews and I have to say that I was quite impressed. The movie managed to entertain while giving a unique insight into the mind of Kevin. An astonishing performance by James McAvoy who previously has never before in my eyes been that capable of an actor. It was enjoying to see him spread his wings and play a unique role that an other actor might have squandered. It it interesting to see Night's movies on the upswing with his recent string of movies tanking at every turn. It seems Night has rediscovered a bit of what has made his previous movies so great, though I won't say this movie was perfect it has some issues as do most but it was still refreshing to watch. As for the credit scene with the nod to the movie being inside the same universe as Unbreakable was a true unexpected mind blower. I can only hope this is a promise for a sequel which some fans have been desperately craving. I really home Night keeps this trend with making better movies and we don't see him fall back into the pits of Avatar and The Happening. This concludes my review and for those who are thinking of seeing this movie I would recommend watching it. Though I would advise not to think too far into it and try to remove your suspension of disbelief and you will find it much more entertaining.
