It would be hard to deny the silliness in “Split.” Certainly, any movie that in 2017 that dusts off the hoary chestnut of split personalities as its main dynamic risks ridicule and guffaws. But I think writer / director M. Night Shyamalan is aware of this, bends our expectations to his purposes and sneaks plenty of genuine scares in between the smirks.
