If you know me at all, horror films are not my cup of tea. When I saw the first advertisements for this film, I was sold. Something very intriguing and thrilling as this film is a (MUST WATCH) for those reasons. Professor X (younger) goes mentally unstable and you can't miss one of James McAvoy's best performances.
Indian film director M. Night Shyamalan's (The Sixth Sense) latest work is with no uncertainty, gripping. Shyamalan approaches the film with an essence of fascination and mind-boggling qualities. From start to finish, the work he displays is one that has depth and consistency.
It's James McAvoy like you've never seen him before. The main role he plays is one of many. Some of his character's mental identities are: serious, comical, and no doubt-creepy. McAvoy portrays a character with an instant on and off switch. One day he's someone else and the next he's completely different.
What also makes this film stunning is its score eerily composed. The teens at the epicenter of the film. Its young leads are not like the ones from 20th century horror films producing fake emotion for effect. The youth in the film, give pulsating and suspenseful performances alongside the rest of the cast.
A film similar to that of Christopher Nolan's (Inception), (Split) is another film that requires thinking. It also has that way of getting reactions like: "WHAT?" "NO WAY!" from viewers. What this film manages to do is try and (does) succeed in is wrapping around the brains of audiences for critical thinking. While (Split) is an entertaining film. It's also an interesting way of depicting severe mental disorders and the impacts on the person diagnosed with such condition.
