M. Night Shyamalan’s latest arrives on DVD & Blu-ray April 18th.

If you were a fan of this year’s Split, you might want to pick up a copy of the DVD or Blu-ray next week because the home video release includes an alternate ending that is sure to get people talking. Of course, if you haven’t yet seen the movie, you’ll want to avoid reading any further!

So before Shyamalan reveals that it’s actually a pseudo sequel to another film, Split ends with Kevin Wendell Crumb (aka “The Horde”) looking into a mirror and essentially plotting world domination. The originally scripted ending, however, was much darker. And Shyamalan shot that ending, which teased exactly the kinds of horrors The Horde has in store for the world.

As relayed by Screen Rant:

It opens with McAvoy’s character dressed in a plaid shirt and glasses – the clothing preferred by Dennis, one of Kevin Crumb’s more fearsome personalities who kidnapped the three teenage girls at the onset of Split. Here, Dennis sits cross-legged on the ledge of a rooftop. As the camera pans from behind him, we see Dennis is overlooking a school, with yellow school buses parked out front. The sounds of school children dismissed for the day can be heard in the distance. Dennis says, “Look at all those unbroken souls.” Then the voice of one of Kevin Crumb’s more dominant personalities, Patricia, immediately answers Dennis: “Such a waste.”

Yes, the suggestion was that The Horde’s first mass attack was going to be on a school, but Shyamalan felt it was too dark and gruesome of an implication. You can see the scene on the DVD/Blu-ray, along with additional deleted scenes and three making-of featurettes.

In Split…

While the mental divisions of those with dissociative identity disorder have long fascinated and eluded science, it is believed that some can also manifest unique physical attributes for each personality, a cognitive and physiological prism within a single being.

Though Kevin (James McAvoy) has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley), there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy, The Witch), Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him—as well as everyone around him—as the walls between his compartments shatter apart.
