Split
is a 2016 American
psychological thriller film
written, directed and produced by
M. Night Shyamalan
, and starring
James McAvoy
,
Anya Taylor-Joy
, and
Betty Buckley
. The film follows a man with
dissociative identity disorder
who kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls in an isolated underground facility.
Principal photography
began on November 11, 2015, in
Philadelphia
, Pennsylvania. The film premiered at
Fantastic Fest
on September 26, 2016, and was released in the United States on January 20, 2017, by
Universal Pictures
. It received generally positive reviews; critics highly praised McAvoy's performance, and welcomed Shyamalan's direction. Some
mental health
advocates criticized the film for its stigmatization of
mental illness
.
Split
was a commercial success, grossing $278 million worldwide on a budget of $9 million, becoming Blumhouse Productions' highest-grossing film until
Five Nights at Freddy's
overtook the position with $297 million.
Split
is a
standalone sequel
to Shyamalan's 2000 film
Unbreakable
although not marketed as such, instead saving the revelation for a scene featuring
Bruce Willis
reprising his
Unbreakable
role in an uncredited cameo. Commentators dubbed
Split
the first-ever "stealth sequel", and the first solo
supervillain
origin film. The 2019 film
Glass
, which combined the casts and characters of both previous films, concluded Shyamalan's
Unbreakable
trilogy
.
Plot
[
edit
]
Just outside
Philadelphia
, "Dennis" kidnaps three girls ? Claire, Casey and Marcia ? when they are waiting in the car of Claire's father to be driven home from a birthday party. He imprisons the girls in a secret underground lair beneath the
Philadelphia Zoo
, where they meet "Patricia", who protects the girls from "Dennis" to save them for "The Beast", and a 9-year-old boy alter named "Hedwig", revealed to be the true dominant alter, whom "Patricia" and "Dennis" are manipulating to shut out the other alters. The girls try to escape by going through the vents, manipulating Kevin's alters, and communicating with another individual via a walkie-talkie, but all of their attempts end in failure.
It becomes clear to the viewer that Kevin Wendell Crumb, a man diagnosed with
dissociative identity disorder
(DID) rooted in his history of
childhood abuse
and abandonment, has been managing living with his 23 distinct identities ("alters") well for several years with help from his therapist, Dr. Karen Fletcher. The most dominant of the desirable alters, "Barry", has been in control of deciding which personalities get to control Kevin's body, and lately he has not allowed "Dennis" or "Patricia" to have a turn due to the former's tendency to harass young girls and the latter's belief in a mysterious entity called "The Beast" who plans to rid the world of the "impure", that is, those who have not suffered. Dr. Fletcher is concerned when she realizes that "Dennis" has been impersonating "Barry" during their sessions after questioning him about an incident where two teenage girls had placed his hands on their breasts while drunk.
Dr. Fletcher goes to the zoo to talk to "Dennis" when he claims to have made contact with "The Beast", in reality a yet-to-manifest 24th personality, but she discovers Claire, so "Dennis" incapacitates the doctor and locks her up. He goes to the train station and boards an empty train car, where "The Beast" takes over. "The Beast", who displays enhanced strength and animalistic tendencies, returns to his lair, thanks Dr. Fletcher for her help, and crushes her to death. He savagely
feeds upon
and kills Claire and Marcia before approaching Casey, but she calls out Kevin's full name, which brings forth his original personality. Upon learning of the situation and realizing that he has not been in control of his own body for two years, the horrified Kevin begs Casey to kill him with a shotgun he has hidden. This prompts all 24 personalities to fight for control, with "Patricia" the victor. She tells Casey that "Kevin" has been made to sleep far away and will not awaken now even if his name is called.
While "Patricia" returns control to "The Beast", Casey retrieves the shotgun and a box of
cartridges
and escapes into a tunnel. She manages to shoot "The Beast" twice before running out of ammo, but he only sustains minor wounds. He moves closer to murder her, but stops when he sees scars across her abdomen and chest, which are related to her having been abused by her uncle and legal guardian, John, both before and after her father's death. Because she is "pure," "The Beast" spares Casey's life, and she is rescued the next morning by the police.
In another hideout, "Dennis", "Patricia", and "Hedwig" discuss the power of "The Beast" and their plans to change the world. At the Silk City Diner, several patrons watch a news report on "The Beast's" crimes, with the correspondent mentioning that his numerous alters have earned him the nickname "The Horde". A waitress notes the similarity to a criminal in a wheelchair who was incarcerated fifteen years earlier, who was also given a nickname. As she tries to remember it,
David Dunn
, sitting next to her replies that it was "
Mr. Glass
".

Production
[

Shyamalan conceived the idea for
Split
years before he wrote the screenplay. He explained, "In this case, I had written the character a while ago, and I had written out a few scenes of it, so I even had dialogue written out, which is really unusual for me. It sat there for a long time, and I really don't have a clear reason why I didn't pull the trigger earlier. But this felt like the perfect time to do it, with the type of movies I'm doing now, and the type of tones I am interested in ? humor and suspense."
[4]
On October 2, 2015,
James McAvoy
was cast in the film to play the lead, replacing
Joaquin Phoenix
.
[5]
On October 12, 2015,
Anya Taylor-Joy
,
Betty Buckley
,
Jessica Sula
, and
Haley Lu Richardson
were added to the cast.
[6]
On October 27, 2015,
Universal Pictures
came on board to release the film and titled it as
Split
.
[7]
The character of Kevin had been in one of the early drafts of Shyamalan's
Unbreakable
, but he had pulled the character out, stating there were balancing issues at that time. With
Split
, he brought in some of the scenes he had written for
Unbreakable
around Kevin.
[8]
The film ends with the appearance of
Bruce Willis
's character, David Dunn, from
Unbreakable
, who makes a comment in reference to the previous film, placing
Unbreakable
and
Split
within the same
narrative universe
. Shyamalan requested permission to incorporate the character from
Walt Disney Studios
, which had produced
Unbreakable
.
[9]
Shyamalan met with
Sean Bailey
about the use of the character; they came to a
gentlemen's agreement
where Bailey agreed to allow the use of the character in the film without a fee and Shyamalan promised that Disney would be involved in a sequel if developed.
[9]
Shyamalan was very secretive of Willis' involvement in
Split
, removing the final scene from the film for test audiences. The cameo was shown at the 2016 Fantastic Fest and 2016 AFI Fest months before its theatrical release.
[8]
As with
The Visit
, Shyamalan funded the film himself.
[10]
Principal photography
on the film began on November 11, 2015, in
Philadelphia
, Pennsylvania.
[11]
[12]
Reshoots occurred in June 2016.
[13]
During post-production,
Sterling K. Brown
's role as Shaw, Dr. Fletcher's neighbor, was cut from the film, as Shyamalan felt that his scenes were ultimately unnecessary.
[14]
McAvoy broke his hand in a scene where he was supposed to punch a metal door, but missed the soft section of the door he intended to hit.

Critical response
[

]
On
review aggregator
Rotten Tomatoes
, the film has an approval rating of 78% based on 312 reviews, with an average rating of 6.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "
Split
serves as a dramatic tour de force for James McAvoy in multiple roles ? and finds writer-director M. Night Shyamalan returning resoundingly to thrilling form."
[28]
Metacritic
reports a weighted average score 62 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
[29]
Audiences polled by
CinemaScore
gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale,
[30]
while
comScore
reported filmgoers gave it a 78% overall positive score and a 54% "definite recommend".
[31]
Jordan Hoffman
of
The Guardian
gave the film four stars out of five, stating it to be a "masterful blend of
Hitchcock
, horror and therapy session".
[32]
Also writing for
The Guardian
, Steve Rose had strong praise for McAvoy, opining that the actor "does a fine and fearless job of selling his character's varied personae". He commended McAvoy's ability to switch personalities in one scene toward the end of the film, saying: "It's a little like the
T-1000
at the end of
Terminator 2
. But there are no special effects here, just acting."
[33]
Christy Lemire
, writing for
RogerEbert.com
, gave the film a score of 3 out of 4 stars, describing it as "an exciting return to form" and "a thrilling reminder of what a technical master [Shyamalan] can be. All his virtuoso camerawork is on display: his lifelong, loving homage to
Alfred Hitchcock
, which includes, as always, inserting himself in a cameo. And the twist?that there is no Big Twist?is one of the most refreshing parts of all."
[34]
Kate Muir of
The Times
gave the film a score of 3 stars out of 5, writing that it "is full of plot holes, but McAvoy's joyful and menacingly lunatic performance papers over most of them."
[35]
David Edelstein
of
New York
magazine was critical of the film, writing: "Shyamalan has returned to what he loves to do: use cheap horror tropes to create his own harebrained mythos", and added: "Though Shyamalan doesn't use a lot of blood in
Split
? there's barely any ? his framing sexualizes the torture of the other two teenage girls in a way I found reprehensible. And his depictions of childhood sexual abuse are clinically accurate enough to make anyone with experience of such things feel sick."
[36]
Anthony Lane
of
The New Yorker
described the film as "an old-fashioned exploitation flick?part of a depleted and degrading genre that not even M. Night Shyamalan, the writer and director of
Split
, can redeem."
[37]
The film has been referred to as the first
supervillain
origin story
; the first time a film has been completely devoted to the origins of a villain as opposed to the origins of the superhero.
[38]
[39]
It has also been described as Hollywood's first stealth sequel,
[10]
with
The Hollywood Reporter
calling the ending reveal "one of the most shocking surprises in cinematic history".
[40]
The film has been poorly received by
mental illness
and
dissociative identity disorder
campaigners.
Mental health
advocates warn that the film stigmatizes dissociative identity disorder and may directly affect those living with it.
[41]
"You are going to upset and potentially exacerbate
symptoms
in thousands of people who are already suffering,"
psychiatrist
Dr. Garrett Marie Deckel, a DID specialist at Mount Sinai's
Icahn School of Medicine
, said immediately after seeing the film. She said that, in contrast to McAvoy's character, people with DID, who may represent over 1% of Americans, are rarely violent, and research has shown they are far more likely to hurt themselves than to hurt others. Movies tend to portray only "the most extreme aspects" of the disorder, which, she said, can misrepresent a form of mental ill-health that is not well understood by the lay public, and even some
psychiatrists
.
In a statement about the movie, the
International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation
(ISSTD) cited a soon-to-be-released study of 173 people with DID. The researchers found that only 3 percent were charged with an offense, 1.8 percent were fined, and less than 1 percent were in jail over a six-month span. No convictions or probations were reported in that time period. In an open letter to Shyamalan, several activists said that "
Split
represents yet another gross parody of us based on fear, ignorance, and
sensationalism
, only much worse."

[

Shyamalan expressed hope for a third installment following
Split
, saying, "I hope [a third
Unbreakable
film happens]. The answer is yes. I'm just such a wimp sometimes. I don't know what's going to happen when I go off in my room, a week after this film opens, to write the script. But I'm going to start writing. [I have] a really robust outline, which is pretty intricate. But now the standards for my outlines are higher. I need to know I've won already. I'm almost there but I'm not quite there."
[51]
He explained that the final scene from
Split
was David's realization that Mr. Glass from the first film was right; there are superpowered people in the world.
[52]
Disney, which produced
Unbreakable
through its
Touchstone Pictures
division, was expected to be a production partner and have financial participation with Universal for the sequel.
[9]
After the critical and financial success of
Split
, Shyamalan confirmed that his next film would be a sequel film that follows the events of
Unbreakable
and
Split
and would serve as the final part of the Unbreakable trilogy.
[53]
[54]
[55]
[56]
In April 2017, he revealed he was nearing completion on the script for the next film.
[57]
On April 26, he revealed on his Twitter page that the script was completed and the sequel would be titled
Glass
,.
[58]
[59]
Following a week of rehearsals, principal production commenced on October 2, 2017, in Philadelphia.
[60]
The cast included the return of Bruce Willis from both previous films,
Samuel L. Jackson
,
Spencer Treat Clark
, and
Charlayne Woodard
from
Unbreakable
, and James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy from
Split
, all reprising their roles.
[61]
[62]
Sarah Paulson
joined the cast as a new character.
[63]
It was reported the new film would focus on Dunn (Willis) chasing down Crumb (McAvoy) in his Beast persona, all the while being embroiled in a plot orchestrated by Price (Jackson).
[62]
Glass
was released on January 18, 2019.
