Split (2017)
A chilling war for survival unfolds as one man's submerged personality threatens to dominate all others.

Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey, 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.
