If Split hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: gore
The difference: Sits closer to crime than Split does

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath

Shyamalan's comeback one-two — captive kids, unreliable adults
The difference: Found-footage grandparents, comedy sharper

Common ground: psychological thriller

A kidnapped kid outwitting a fractured, theatrical captor
The difference: Supernatural help arrives; the tone period

Both land tension and grit at once

Captivity horror with predators beyond reason or mercy
The difference: Savage exploitation gore — endurance test, not mind game

Horror built on dread, twice over
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

M. Night Shyamalan directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Trades the grit of Split for an angle of its own

Unsettling thriller in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: kidnapping
The difference: Easier on the grit than Split

Tense horror, and it commits to that
