THIS IS A SPOILER-FREE ADVANCE REVIEW.
After emerging in the '90s and early 2000s as one of the top directors to watch thanks to films like The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, it’s no secret that M. Night Shyamalan’s career began to experience an unfortunate downward spiral starting with 2004’s The Village leading up to the truly irredeemable Last Airbender and the absurd After Earth. Then, after more than a decade of disappointing outings, something strange happened when Shyamalan released The Visit in 2015. Not only was it unlike any other film that he had released up until that point, but the horror tale about kids visiting their disturbing grandparents for the weekend seemed to show the first signs of a possible comeback in the making from Shyamalan.
But if The Visit was Shyamalan’s first hit single in years, then Split - his latest psychological thriller which played ahead of its January release date at AFI Fest on Tuesday, November 15 - is his long-awaited welcome home tour. A stylish and enthralling thriller about a group of teenage girls being held captive by a man with dissociative personality disorder (DID), Split is not only Shyamalan’s best film since Signs, but it’s also one of his best films - period.
While not perfect, and despite falling victim occasionally to some of the genre’s more frustrating tropes, Split is easily the most exciting, fun, and interesting film M. Night Shyamalan has made in over a decade. It doesn’t manage to be quite as noteworthy as some of his earlier work, but it comes pretty close.
