       Kevin and all his DID personalities (McAvoy) are still out there murdering young women. David (Willis) walks around all day hunting him and other villains. He’s psychic. Amazingly he catches him/them. Even more amazing is that they are both locked up in a high security mental hospital, where Elijah (Jackson) also happens to be. They are all under the care of Dr Staple (Poulson) who is researching individuals who believe they are super-heroes.

       Casey (Taylor-Joy), one of Kevin’s victims in Split, gets involved.

       The story emerges only slowly, and the surprising twists don’t end until the last frame.

       Now is a fine time to discover that this is the third in a trilogy so now we’ve got to watch the first one! With Willis and Jackson.
