Three girls are kidnapped by a man with a diagnosed 23 distinct personalities. They must try to escape before the apparent emergence of a frightful new 24th. (IMDB)
We don’t like psychological dramas, even if they’re borderline horror. So why did we watch Split? There’s a simple reason: because Anya Taylor-Joy plays in it.
McAvoys overacting is just superannoying and cringe.
As usual with M. Night Shyamalan, the script is too far fetch, the entire movie feels like a cliché-ridden abduction thriller, constantly interrupted by bullshit psychology.
Two highly-trained operatives become close after being sent to protect opposite sides of a mysterious gorge. When an evil emerges, they must work together to survive what lies within. (IMDB)
The Gorge has everything to be a great movie, the plot is intriguing and Anya Taylor-Joy is fantastic. There are definitely two sides to the story. While the romance works quiet well, the horror part feels a bit week. Since the first part of the movie is where the romance happens, it’s a strong start. Unfortunately, what follows is weak. The horror feels like a huge déjà-vu with a bad cinematography and poor CGI. The mystery isn’t very mysterious, since we’ve seen it a hundred times.
It’s gonna sound weird but I would have preferred it if they would have just made a purely romantic movie happening on top of the Gorge without any explanation about the monsters.
