Split - Movie Review


Star Rating: ✮✮✮✮✰


Storyline - 

"When three girls are kidnapped by a man with 23 different personalities they have to work out which of those personalities will help them escape and which of those personalities will try to stop them." - imdb.com

Review -

Split starts of with the abduction of three young girls, who are waiting in the car whilst the father of one of the girls. They are sprayed with some 'magic' chemical that immediately puts them to sleep, when they awaken, they are locked in a nondescript room with two beds and a bathroom. They are eventually visited by their abductor and one of them is taken from the room to dance for him. She is promptly returned and they are left alone once more.

The second time he visits he is dress in a skirt and acts completely different to the first time he came in. It doesn't take long for the girls to work out that something is not quite right with their abductor. The next time they see him he claims he is a nine year old boy named Headwig, who they slowly ring clues from.

This is the kind of movie that leaves you thinking anything is possible, and instills a bit of paranoia. The character building in this movie is actually quite remarkable, considering that one person (James McAvoy) is playing at least four characters in one film. 

There is not a lot else I can say about this movie but that it's worth the watch.
