Split

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.

We came for Anya and Anya is all we’ve had.

The Happening

When nature strikes, humanity doesn’t stand a chance. This time, the threat isn’t a tornado or a volcano, but a toxin released by the plants. It has two effects: it pushes humans to kill themselves and it makes actors play bad.

However, if you don’t mind a bad scenario, a lot of mistakes (like Zooey Deschanel suddenly changing outfit even though they didn’t bring anything with them) and a super awkward acting, you’ll maybe make it until the end… After all, it’s only 90 minutes. This movie is the evidence the M. Night Shyamalan doesn’t make only good movies.

Trivia: We watched The Happening while we were both experiencing hay fever, which made it even weirder.
