A birth of a new cinematic universe

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2017)

In this world where everything is in a cinematic universe and everything is about a superhero with super powers M Night has created a new type of universe with superheroes. Heroes who don't war capes or fly around doing heroic deeds. This is instead something much greater and far more shocking.
This is the story of a supervillian who has been given a dark and twisted origin story as a man who kidnaps children to feed on. People who have never known pain for one day in there life. That who this monster goes after. The film is strongly gripping for that reason and is much more interesting as well.
And when a villain is born then so is a hero. The young girl Casey is the hero in this story. And she is very similar to the villain in her back story. She is a girl who has known pain and hardship in her life. Who has seen what it means to be afraid. And that is why she is the survivor of this story in the end.
M. Night has found someone who forces him to hold back, and to tell a different type of story than he has before. A story that is far more interesting and far more complex as well. Jason Blum is the perfect man to make M Night a better filmmaker than he was. Allowing for a more interesting and engaging story to be told.
That is why Split works.
