pulls you in but then doesn't add up to much of anything

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2018)

His name is Kevin Wendell Crumb...the only problem is he can't quite seem to get a handle on that. Suffering from dissociative personality disorder, he kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls who are forced to try and use their wits to escape while dealing with his colorful array of characterizations. An intriguing setup is wasted in this sloppy, laborious blend of horror film and psychological thriller which lacks suspense, scares, or a really good payoff. McAvoy appears to be having a ball conveying all those various personalities, but the rest of the acting is so underwhelming, the plot twists and the exposition so ineffectual that it really doesn't seem to be worth the effort. You keep waiting for something interesting to happen...it just never does; a drab, unsatisfying showing. *½
