Even if it wasn't suspenseful, it could've still be interesting

Rating: 2/10 (3 January 2018)

I don't know why this movie is being raved about. To be honest, I don't think movie knew what it was trying to portray. A man with DID? The effects of childhood abuse? It just seemed like a bunch "heavy" concepts were put together in an attempt to make a "heavy" movie. It wasn't scary, it wasn't suspenseful, it wasn't thrilling, it was just boring.
He takes three teenage girls hostage and does...nothing to them. Doesn't even tie them up. And he's not a big guy, so I feel like the three girls could've totally taken him down if the went full-out on him together, but of course, they don't even try that.
I also don't like how this man with DID takes on a 24th and final personality, which literally starts to transform him physically into a beast. Like, really? I guess that was just an excuse so he could survive two shotgun wounds to the chest and stomach at the end of the movie. Boo. I was expecting a screwed up thriller film and got...whatever the heck this boring thing was. Don't even get me started on the stupid therapist....She basically committed suicide.
The acting was good, but the writing was just so ridiculous. I watch too many thriller/horror movies as well as documentaries about murderers who have committed heinous crimes because of their mental illness to be even borderline amused by this movie. And I think it's in poor taste to portray someone with mental illness as a literal monster. His actions should've been able to do that well enough, but then again, he didn't DO anything the whole movie. Bleh.
