Motivated by the emergence of stacked two-dimensional materials with a twist angle, we examine the photonic spin Hall effect in twisted few-layer anisotropic two-dimensional atomic crystals. By developing a generalized model for arbitrary layers of anisotropic two-dimensional atomic crystals, the photonic spin Hall effect of twisted few-layer black phosphorus without interlayer interaction is demonstrated and discussed. We find that the twist between different layers results in the arise of the in-plane spin Hall shift, and the shift is very sensitive to the twist angle. While the in-plane spin Hall shifts are symmetric about the origin as a function versus the twist angle, the transverse spin Hall shifts are symmetric about the axis. And the photonic spin Hall shifts exhibit periodic changes versus the thickness of the interlayer due to the optical Fabry-Pérot resonance. The results may provide different aspects for analysis and control of the optical properties of twisted multilayer two-dimensional materials.
