Split (2016)

Three girls are kidnapped by a man with a diagnosed 23 distinct personalities, and they must try to escape before the apparent emergence of a frightful new 24th.

Above-average thriller introducing an uniquely disturbing multi-faceted villain keeps suspense high with a series of twists to its plot.

The Visit (2015)

 

 

Two siblings become increasingly frightened by their grandparents' disturbing behavior while visiting them on vacation.

 

Quite scary horror movie slyly staged as an amateur documentary by the two kids; surprisingly, it works very well, thanks to a good cast and intelligent direction.

After Earth (2013)

A crash landing leaves a young boy and his father stranded on Earth, a millennium after events forced humanity's escape, and since the father is injured, the boy must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help.

OK, but unremarkable sci-fi adventure does offer some nice settings, but leaves very much of its future vision unexplained.

Maltin**: "Juvenile adventure yarn...may appeal to younger viewers, but the script...is downright awkward at times. And what's with the oddball dialect?"
