A new monster prowls the xmen world of Shyamalan

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2017)

This director is definitely a chance taker, and often is either loved or reviled by movie goers.
This outing, he is actually just staying the course on standard abduction-by-psycho movies, but with his own twist.
First a DISCLAIMER.
If you are a psychologist, please do NOT come on here and lecture us all about how this movie is highly inaccurate about the portrayal of Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD (DID).
This movie is NOT a documentary on mental health, and does not try to be.
This is a horror/abduction movie, featuring a super villain who can access mutant x powers when he transforms into his 'evil-ist' personality. The movie has some weak points, such as the violence is kept very low key to avoid bumping the rating up, two of the girls die very quickly near the end and it's not explained at all, again likely to reduce the gore factor, and the super-human abilities of the shifter beast is not explained or believable.
Look for stand out performances by: James McAvoy, in his first evil role and after playing multiple incantations of the goody-good Professor X, does a very good job of portraying the mentally ill villain, who is always pretending to be a victim and weak to the very good performance of Betty Buckley who plays his psychologist.
Anya Taylor-Joy also puts in a very good performance as the damaged cutter teen, from an abusive relationship, who turns out to be the only one with the skillsets required to stay alive in the beast's lair.
Shyamalan perhaps has been watching the success of the multiple tie-in Marvel movies, and has decided to now do the same with his alt- universe of mutant humans he first showed us in 'Unbroken'. Yes, this movie ties in to Unbroken, one of Shyamalan's best movies.
