If Split was just the story of a woman (Anya Taylor-Joy) kidnapped by a person (James McAvoy) with dissociative identity disorder, it would be really, really good. The performances, the tension, the reveals, all of it works exceedingly well. But, after a few years without one, Shyamalan hit us with his biggest twist ending yet. This seemingly separate thriller we’d been watching was also a sequel to Unbreakable. It took the film to a whole new level.
