He continues: "Is this a crazy person? Does he want something sexual from them? I really enjoy the way they throw out their opinion about how bad their situation is.

He then adds: "The reason this is not in the film - and this was in the film for a long time - was this pressure at the beginning of the movie for the girls to figure out a way out and to get to the moment where Patricia opens the door.
"The movie takes off like a rocket, it's almost like a gunshot moment. For Split it was that moment so the faster we got to that, the better."

After receiving a host of positive reviews, Shyamalan delighted fans when he revealed he's been working on a sequel to Split called Glass, which will again be linked to 2000's Unbreakable.
Split is available on digital now and is available on Blu-ray and DVD on June 5.
