Split is a thriller-horror tale that focuses on James McAvoy's ability to play a multiple personality-afflicted psychopath who, among his twenty-plus alternate personas, is a savage man-beast that is immensely strong, hard to hurt, kidnaps and feeds upon teenage girls, and is judgmental in an almost Socio-Darwinian way. The audience catches up with the twisted Kevin as he's snatched and confined 3 latest victims. Over the course of the film, the audience learns about one of the girls and slowly doles out bits concerning Kevin and his most frequent alternate personalities until things get increasingly disturbing/horrifying until strange and terrible truths are revealed. Fans of both McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy-as one of the victims-will not be disappointed! M. Night Shyamalan is in true form with this film.

Dr. Fletcher: They are what they believe they are. The brain has learned to defend itself.

Trivia: SPOILER WARNING. The character of Kevin was originally intended to be in the film "Unbreakable" (to which this film is revealed to be a sort-of sequel in the final twist scene), but he was removed for thematic reasons, as it was felt that his presence took away focus from that film's true villain "Mr. Glass." Writer/Director M. Night Shyamalan has stated his intentions to make a third film in the "trilogy" that will feature Bruce Willis' character David Dunn from "Unbreakable" being forced to confront Kevin, who will be his ultimate "supervillain."
Question: What happened to him as a little boy when he was hunting with his Father and Uncle? Was he sexually molested?

Answer: If you are referring to the girl Casey, then yes, the movie is implying that her uncle had been molesting her.

Duh! My mistake! It looked like a little boy and I guess I wasn't listening very well. However, the little kid's mother who was abusive about cleaning belonged to the guy with multiple personalities, yes?
Correct, and they expand more on that in the next film, "Glass."
