First Images From M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Split’!
I have renewed confidence in M. Night Shyamalan after he blew me away with last year’s found-footage thriller The Visit, while also directing and shepherding the debut season of FOX’s overachieving “Wayward Pines”.
His next film, Split, ups the ante adding two of the bigger names in Hollywood: James McAvoy (X-Men) and Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Morgan). Betty Buckley, Jessica Sula and Haley Lu Richardson also star in the suspense thriller that’s said to have elements of the supernatural.
Bloody Disgusting has your first ever images of the cast from Split, which Universal will release in theaters on January 20, 2017.
Split brings back part of the team from The Visit, which includes producer Marc Bienstock and executive producers Ashwin Rajan and Steven Schneider (Insidious, Blair Witch).

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
