James McAvoy Looks Incredible in this Trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Split’

I think the last time I was excited, or at the very least anticipating, a M. Night Shyamalan was probably “The Village.” After that things sort of went downhill from there.  However, the trailer for “Split” has really grabbed my interest.

In traditional M. Night Shyamalan fashion not a whole lot is known about “Split” at this time other than the fact that it features James McAvoy giving probably one of his most diverse performances yet.  And, for you fans of “The Witch,” the film also stars Anya Taylor-Joy.  Here’s how Universal describes the film:

In their follow-up to the No.1-grossing horror movie of the year, The Visit, writer/director/producer M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, Unbreakable) and producer Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity, The Purge and Insidious series) return with an all-new terrifying collaboration: SPLIT. James McAvoy (X-Men series) leads the cast of the suspense thriller with elements of the supernatural, which co-stars Anya Taylor Joy, Betty Buckley, Jessica Sula and Haley Lu Richardson. For the film, Shyamalan and Blum reassemble their core team from The Visit, which includes fellow producer Marc Bienstock and executive producers Ashwin Rajan and Steven Schneider.

The film is expected to hit theaters in January 2017.  I know January is kind of seen as a bad month for films, but in recent years it’s also turned into a bit of a hotbed for horror films.  Turns out people like to ring in the new year with a scare.  Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.
