Outside of Shyamalan talking about Hooters and 9 year old McAvoy quips, Split is pretty damn dark, yo!

 

Dark-lite.

I, too, think chi-shit needs to be tagged for 3 hours

 

Spoiler

I, too, think child abuse, molestation, and cannibalism are light dark topics.

I'm honestly shocked Split wasn't rated R considering how the MPAA is.

It's not that the concept of the content isn't dark, it's that the whole movie is goofy enough that the material is presented as essentially entertainment as opposed to being something truly dark (IMO).

 

As an example: FRIDAY 13th features completely savage and brutal serial-killing of (often) under-age innocents -- I wouldn't call it dark at all.

I disagree with you entirely on that. Blanks was saying similar stuff in his review, and I really don't see where you guys are coming from. Just because it's a supernatural movie doesn't make those themes played for entertainment purposes IMO.

Maybe it's the fact I didn't find it scary (or even particularly disturbing). But sure, we'll disagree.

Yeah that's one of my lingering problems with the movie. At first I actually didn't believe the flashbacks implied what they very obviously implied because it was so tonally jarring. I was like, "It can't be going there, can it?" Certainly not opposed to mainstream movies bringing up things like that but I don't think Split ever bridged the gap between that and McAvoy as a child doing Kanye.

It'd be pretty funny if Boss Baby beats Lego Batman. Regardless, they're gonna be a lot closer than most of us thought.

So basically...if Split had blood and boobies...rated R.  Tone wasn't enough.

John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN... not that dark.

 

Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN... dark.

lmao what? Split is halfway there to being a full-fledged comedy. People on my screening laughed multiple times, as did I. Most of the time the humor was intentional, too.

Power Ranger's Monday was 75% of its Thursday previews.  A similar performance would give GitS a 1.35M monday
