Why it’s HorroRated
Split is M. Night Shyamalan's full return, and James McAvoy gives the kind of performance that the word transformative actually describes. Kevin Wendell Crumb is a villain built from real psychological complexity, not a gimmick, and the film honors that by taking his condition seriously. The last scene earns everything that came before it.
