Where To Watch Glass (2019)

Glass brings together the worlds of Unbreakable and Split in a dark psychological superhero thriller directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The story follows David Dunn, played by Bruce Willis, a quiet security guard with superhuman strength and the ability to sense evil. While tracking Kevin Wendell Crumb, portrayed by James McAvoy, Dunn faces a terrifying enemy who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder and possesses 24 personalities, including the dangerous “Beast.” Behind the scenes, the mysterious Elijah Price, also known as Mr. Glass and played by Samuel L. Jackson, secretly manipulates events from a psychiatric hospital. Dr. Ellie Staple, played by Sarah Paulson, attempts to convince all three men that their supernatural abilities are only delusions. The movie slowly transforms from a psychological mystery into a shocking comic-book-inspired showdown filled with twists, emotional moments, and hidden secrets connected to the entire trilogy.

More details about Glass (2019) and where you can watch

One of the biggest highlights of the film was James McAvoy’s performance, where he switched between multiple personalities in single scenes without camera cuts. Many fans considered his acting one of the most difficult performances in modern psychological thrillers. Director M. Night Shyamalan financed the movie himself, giving him complete creative freedom without major studio interference. The film also continued the unique grounded-superhero style introduced in Unbreakable, avoiding flashy costumes and giant CGI battles common in traditional superhero movies.

Another interesting detail is that the movie was secretly planned years before Split released. Most viewers were shocked when Split ended with a surprise connection to Unbreakable, setting up Glass as the trilogy finale. The movie also contains several visual references to comic-book panels through camera framing, colors, and reflections.

Did You Know

Many people don’t know that the character Elijah Price, “Mr. Glass,” was inspired by tragic comic-book villains who believe suffering gives life meaning. Director M. Night Shyamalan intentionally used glass imagery throughout the film — mirrors, reflections, broken windows, and transparent walls — to symbolize fragile minds and hidden truths.
