Split
While the mental divisions of those with dissociative identity disorder have long fascinated and eluded science, it is believed that some can also manifest unique physical attributes for each personality, a cognitive and physiological prism within a single being. Though Kevin has evidenced 23Â personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher, there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all the others.
Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey, Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him – as well as everyone around him – as the walls between his compartments shatter apart.
Critic Reviews:
- " Cautiously recommended. " – Donald Clarke
- " Split [is] a genre picture that's fascinating, audacious and just kooky enough to be a lot of fun. " – Kristen Lopez
- " It's a slow burn, intelligent thriller that properly amps up its tension in the final act, and contains a standout performance from McAvoy. " – Damond Fudge
