Split Feature Trailer (2017)

Feature Trailer for Split.

Kevin, a man with at least 23 different personalities, is compelled to abduct three teenage girls. As they are held captive, a final personality - "The Beast" - begins to materialize.

James McAvoy is not a stranger to playing a character with multiple personalities. He previously played someone suffering from multiple personality disorder in the film Filth. Another similarity between Filth and Split is that in both films he also cross dresses as a woman.

Here is a list of all the films M. Night Shyamalan has Directed:

1992 Praying with Anger
1998 Wide Awake
1999 The Sixth Sense
2000 Unbreakable
2002 Signs
2004 The Village
2006 Lady in the Water
2008 The Happening
2010 The Last Airbender
2013 After Earth
2015 The Visit

I am still torn on this film.

We have yet to see "The Beast", his final personality, which I think will ruin it for me. I love how this film plays as a psychological thriller and I think that films you can picture as realistic end up being scarier. As I watch this trailer I can picture a crazy person with 23 different personalities actually abducting girls, like this is something that could happen in the real world. But then, towards the end of film/trailer I know it is going to take a turn towards the supernatural with "the beast" and I think that is where M. Night Shyamalan is going to lose me. After watching the trailer I thought to myself, "I hope this film does not end like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Although, I must point out that actress Anya Taylor-Joy confirmed in an interview that no supernatural elements are present in the film. Still "feels" like it.

I am still leaning towards the this film will be good side. The highlight so far has to be James McAvoy's acting. He sure looks to nail all these different personalities and brings a great creep factor. I also like how the film plays like a psychological thriller, it looks to be more of a tense ride and not a scary horror ride.
