Review: Split

When M.Knight Shyamalan sent James McAvoy the script for his film Split, the actor emailed back “What’s my characters name?” “Um, just read it” McAvoy plays Kevin Wendell Crumb, inflicted with a severe case of dissociative identity disorder (DID) and host to 23 differing identities. His most dangerous, steely personality Dennis kidnaps three teenage girls from a birthday party and keeps them captive in a labyrinth of underground tunnels – home to his ever-changing identity. The three girls are subject to the different egos and their unpredictable behavior.
