M. Night Shyamalan shut the mouths of all doubters with last year's "cracking" film The Visit (filmed using the found footage technique) and proved that he still has his former sharpness. He rose to fame with The Sixth Sense (1999), but seven years later, the failure of the horror film Undersea Girl nearly cost him his career. Fortunately, this was not the last nail in his coffin, as the former hope of American cinema is experiencing a second film spring and is slowly returning to the paths of old glory. After a promising return to his roots, he will once again prove himself to the audience in the film Split, when he will take us not only into the dark underground corridors of a mental patient, in which as many as 23 personalities are trapped, but also into the dark corners of the human mind.
About the movie Split opinions will not be divided. Screenwriter and director of the cult films The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs, M. Night Shyamalan, is returning with a new original thriller that shows promise.
