The movie that doesn't know what it wants to be.

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2017)

Let me begin by saying that I had no hopes for this movie to be good, Shyamalan has disappointed me too many times before, and this was no exception. It's not nearly as bad as The Village or The Happening but it's at least twice as infuriating.
The first half-or-so of the movie is incredibly good. It balances terror, suspense and drama perfectly, while carefully developing a great social commentary about DID (the disorder that Kevin, the protagonist, suffers). It makes you feel empathetic, while at the same time creates a great tension between every character on camera, exceeding every expectation I might have had.
And then it happens... the most anticlimactic moment of the year in cinema. You may have thought that you were experiencing a great story about the dangers of the human brain, but you are quickly reminded that this is a Shaymalan movie when Kevin (McAvoy) becomes a weird mix between the Hulk and The Walking Dead, and the movie immediately falls flat on its face. I can't even try to express how angry I was due to my disappointment. This might as well be one of those boring "demonic possession" movies that we are all so tired of, but without any indication that there was a devil to begin with.
5/10 would break steel knives with my abs again.
