Review of Split (2017) by Nikolayg — 22 Apr 2017

McAvoy deserves credit. This is a great video resume for his acting abilities. However, despite this, Split is The single worst movie I have seen in my entire life. Incredibly unbelievably bad, all on account of the story, if you can call it a story.

There is almost nothing to give away in this unoriginal cliche-ridden piece of garbage because little happens that you don't see in trailers. But I'll say "Spoiler Alert" anyway. Here's the plot.

By the way this director has no "twist" this time, though people call the ending a twist. It's an easter egg not a twist. It's a silly little tacked on bit of nonsense to top it all off, just in case it wasn't bad enough already - which I assure you, it was! Three girls are kidnapped by a man with 23 personalities.

The two bad personalities did it, and they plan to release a 24th personality known as 'the beast' - a kind of Hulk or werewolf or Mr. Hyde if you will, to eat the girls. They succeed and the man gobbles up some of the first two girls, but when he encounters the third, he sees that she cuts herself, and understands from this that she (like he) has been abused (he developed these personalities in response to abuse) and so he lets her live.

That's it, my friends. A long dull waste of your time and money. This guy has been making bad movies for decades. The Sixth Sense was his single good film and it's been manure ever since, but this is the absolute worst of them all.
