M. Night Shyamalan disappoints with "Split"

By Devon Shuman | February 7, 2017

So, I was excited to see how his most recent addition to the world of psychological horror films, "Split," measured up to his chilling predecessors. However, "Split" ultimately fails to deliver the suspense and thrill promised by this genre, and resorts to using a mental disorder and childhood sexual abuse as plot devices to add shock value.
