James McAvoy is Splintered in This New ‘Split’ Poster
A new poster for the upcoming psychological thriller Split (review) has been released and it warns viewers of Kevin’s 23 distinct personalities…and to be scared of the 24th.
Kevin, a man with 23 different personalities, abducts three teenage girls. As the girls are held captive and attempt to escape, they begin to meet all of Kevin’s 23 personalities, which include a little boy and a sophisticated woman. The nightmare truly begins when Kevin’s 24th personality, an entity known as the “Beast” begins to emerge.
Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, Split stars James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jessica Sula, Haley Lu Richardson, and Betty Buckley. It is scheduled for release on January 20th, 2017.
I’ve seen the first trailer and I’ve been avoiding as much else as I possibly can simply because I’m incredibly interested in seeing this as blindly as possible. The first two Shyamalan films were fantastic while Signs is still pretty great. I feel like we’ve unjustly judged Shyamalan because of how incredible The Sixth Sense was.
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.
