Split (2016) - Claustrophobia



When you watched The Sixth Sense (1999) and Unbreakable (2000), M. Night Shyamalan's best two films and avoid many because you heard them sucked and then watch 2 random films like The Happening (2008) and After Earth (2013) which happens to be worse you see a clear decline in a director's talent.

And then in 2016 he directs Split which is one of the greatest recoveries from earlier failures and how he expands his first cinematic universe from Unbreakable (2000) characters where he re-establishes the true M. Night Shyamalan film making style.

If you watch M. Night Shyamalan's film there is a unique way of approach of tapping the character's internal struggles and psychology.

After his two films Unbreakable (2000) and The Sixth Sense (1999) he failed to maintain this streak until Split, where the film making returns to a darker psychological aspects of a person who has split personality disorder. Kevin played by James Mcavoy plays a person with 24 distinct personality disorders living inside of him and the characters played by Mcavoy is a very strong depiction of a person having psychological problems.

The best thing on this film is it's dark and atmosphere nature giving a claustrophobic experience to the viewers through dark and cinematic style unique to M. Night where he failed earlier but succeeded in Split (2016).

So overall this is going to be a great M. Night Shyamalan film experience.
