This creepy movie that grossed 30 times its budget is leaving Netflix

This film brought in nearly $280 million in revenue when it was released in 2017. A success that is based in particular on the performance of its main actor, whom you all know. You only have a few days left to see or rewatch this creepy film, which has multiplied its budget by 30!

Who says new, also says catalog releases. It’s the same every month and on all streaming platforms, especially Netflix, which is full of new programs in February! In exchange, subscribers must say goodbye to others, including Splitby M. Night Shyamalan, who will disappear February 15 next. In this psychological thriller, the excellent James McAvoy plays Kevin, a psychopath who suffers from dissociative identity disorder: in all he has 24 different personalities who can take over him at any time! The story begins in Philadelphia, where Casey Cooke has to drive home from the birthday of one of his high school classmates accompanied by Claire and Marcia, two classmates. It is then that they are kidnapped by a man with a shaved head, who sequesters them in a poorly lit basement.

Split : the confrontation between Kevin and Casey

The mysterious and disturbing characters isolate each young girl in turn in another room, leaving the other two in anguish. Taken by sudden fits of rage, he disappears as suddenly as he had come. Casey then remembers his childhood and his outings with his father and his uncle, enlightened hunters. All the strength of the film lies in the confrontation between Kevin and one of his three prisoners, Casey, a rather badass and very insightful girl. Anya Taylor-Joy, discovered in 2016 in the intriguing The Witch and more recently in The Ladies Game, lends him his features and an unfailing determination.

Splita real performance for James McAvoy

James McAvoy doesn’t need a wig to bring Kevin’s multiple avatars to life. Bald head, staring, he delivers a multiple mind-blowing performance. In his head, he is not alone. What James McAvoy did not immediately understand when discovering the scenario: “After 10 pages, Denis became Patricia and Patricia became Edward. There, I said to myself OK. The real question became: how many characters would I have to play? I realized that there are was 23, sorry 24, and that I was going to bring 9 of them to life on screen.”
