M. Night Shyamalan's Worst Movie Twists From Bad To Predictable

M. Night Shyamalan's Most Predictable Movie Twists, Ranked

Split, M. Night Shyamalan’s <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-about-split-personalities/ranker-film">film about a man with multiple personalities</a> who kidnaps a trio of teenage girls, isn’t great. It’s obvious that a lot of hard work was put into this movie by a lot of talented people, but it just doesn’t work. The worst things about Split are the moments that you know could have been so much better, or where it seems like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-m-night-shyamalan-movies-list-of-m-night-shyamalan-films/reference">M. Night Shyamalan</a> settled for what appeared onscreen.Is Split good? It feels unfair to make a hit job on a film made by a writer and director who more often than not creates original films with no kind of tie-in to external media, and the films cost nothing. For instance, Split only cost $10 million. It’s going to be fine. Everything is fine. All of those karmic allowances aside, the film still isn’t good. By the time the film settles on what it wants to accomplish&nbsp;the clock is already running out, and even though the actors lean into their roles, no matter how ridiculous, they can’t save a movie that’s not willing to save itself.If you haven’t seen Split yet, you should know that the twist ending is going to be ruined in this run down of all the problems with the film. There’s no way to talk about the myriad issues in the movie without discussing the final scene of the film that legitimately changes everything. Now that you’ve been warned, continue reading to find out the worst things about Split.&nbsp;
