Witness The First Trailer For M. Night Shyamalan’s Split Starring James McAvoy

M. Night Syamalan’s latest film, Split, a psychological-supernatural-thriller, is already getting a lot of attention. Talented actor James McAvoy stars as a kidnapper with a serious case of Dissociative Identity Disorder. In the film’s first trailer we learn that McAvoy’s character has kidnapped three young women and taken them to his lair. As if things couldn’t get any worse for the women, they soon discover that their captor has several split-personalities, including those of the Kevin, the villain persona, and a woman and a 9-year-old boy. It’s revealed that he has 23 personalities in all. Kevin tells his prisoners that “beast” is coming for them and insists that the creature is very real. All we see is a drawing of the “beast”, so it’s unclear if it is actually real or if it’s another one of his identities. Anya Taylor Joy, Betty Buckley, Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula co-star in Split. Shymalalan, Marc Bienstock and Blumhouse’s Jason Blum are
