The ending is why I like the movie a lot, especially the reveal/twist after the title card.
I noticed that you said you haven't seen Unbreakable (Even the name "Split" is the opposite of the title Unbreakable) and if you haven't seen that movie the ending won't make any sense. I feel bad for anyone who watched Split without having seen Unbreakable first, especially on it's original release (It also makes this one of the most interesting comebacks ever). It adds a whole other layer to the film that is genius imo. It makes everything fall into place, especially the monster stuff. It is basically a super villain origin story like Unbreakable was a super hero origin story. Hence the name "The Hoard" that the news people give his character at the end. Before the reveal the monster stuff comes off as a bit silly and out of place but after the reveal it makes total sense within a world of superheroes and super villains.
It is also one of the most clever twists ever because the twist is that it is a sequel.
