Made me tense all the way in a good way

Rating: 5/10 (1 February 2017)

Split is a movie with constant suspense, but personally I find it gives out too little information and is a too mysterious for my taste. I had hoped to explore more of the characters that roam in Kevin's mind, but the movie emphasizes more on the other leading character's tragic past, which could have been more interesting if it focused more on how Kevin's other personalities surfaced. Split also maintained a potential for something greater, which had me at the edge of my seat, bracing myself for the worst that was yet to come, but unfortunately, I found it slightly disappointing that the revelation does not pay off the tension throughout the film. Some actions made by the characters in the movie are deliberately meant to guide the movie to a desired ending, which personally applies to many of the horror films I have watched. But I enjoyed the cinematography, of how many shots were composed of the expressions of changing personalities.
