Unlike many others, this saga ended with a titanic bombshell that’s bizarrely being overlooked.Įven though the Resident Evil franchise is not even close to being on par with Star Wars, it now has its own “I am your father” moment. After six films, and two trilogies, the franchise concluded Alice’s (Milla Jovovich) battle against Umbrella. Sony Screen Gems’ Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which opened this weekend and got its ass kicked by Split, ends the franchise that began with Anderson’s 2002 video game adaptation. Anderson’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. I bring up Split because I’m pretty sick of seeing the word “twist” associated with it, which brings me to a film that nobody is talking about: Paul W.S. Split is a fantastic thriller that’s carried by James McAvoy’s astoundingly overlooked Oscar-worthy performance…not some random twist that makes or breaks the film (like with Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense).
Since its release, every single site (including ours) has boasted the “twist”, which I put in parentheses because it’s not. I thought it was a pretty cool fan moment, but one that was lost by general audiences. Night Shyalaman’s Split, which carries an interesting post-credit button that ties it directly to Unbreakable.
