      Psychology film called a textbook (serious spoilers)

      Many comments downstairs questioned the word "textbook" in my title, so let me explain. I said, this is a psychology film that can be called a textbook. Note that my term is psychology film, not that it is a horror film that can be called a textbook. Thank you


      for the plot alone, this film can be called a textbook-style psychology movie! Highly recommended!
      In fact, the film has two lines, one line and one line (or hidden line)
      . The plot of the line is quite simple and...

      Everyone is beautiful

      As a 2010 film, the originality of the story is a bit old-fashioned. Simply put, a girl was imprisoned in a mental hospital. She thought she was not sick, but in fact she was very ill. In the end, she knew that she was talking to herself. Each personality is fighting. In the closed hospital, he and his friends were attacked, and the friends died one by one but no one cared. In fact, thinking about it, this state is quite terrifying. Multiple personality splits are really an old stalk, but...

      Can it not be so cheap?

      When I open the horror film review page, there are often various sprays, and the scores are mostly unbearable. Take a closer look at the reasons for the sprays, there are probably two: 1. It is not scary enough; 2. It scares me.
      The audience of horror movies is too difficult to serve, and they are not pleased no matter how they shoot. Originally, some pretentious fanboys like to show off their tastes by belittling other people's works, and horror films just provide excellent targets. After...

      Movies must have highlights

      This is a movie with few highlights. I watched the first half and thought it was a female version of "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum". The second half is a story of split personality, and split personality is not supported by good audiovisual effects. Duan's chase scene is also not distinctive.
         There are obvious successful examples in these aspects. In terms of the lunatic asylum, "Flying over the lunatic asylum" is of course a high-quality product. In terms of split personality, the...

      Multiple personality splits

      The tortuous acting, the simple plot, can’t compare with similar movies (Fatal ID), the film is a one-person film from beginning to end.
        Very simple plot. To put it bluntly, I killed the other split people, and finally I survived, then I occupy this body, and I will live in this world in the future.
        Many people will ask the ending suddenly popped out of Christine, why? It's very simple, Christine was not killed, so the heroine started various splits again.
        This movie is...

      Many thrillers like to use the split personality to explain the mystery, and this film is no exception. It is not innovative enough, and it is okay. The real surprise at the end is as I...

    Movie quotes

    • Iris: He's a great doctor. I overheard the staff talking about him. Apparently the way he's dealing with us is some sort of experimental therapy.

      [proudly:]

      Iris: Futuristic kind of stuff.

      Kristen: And what do I need to say to this guy to get out of lock-down? I mean, you know, to get night privileges?

      Iris: [shaking her head] No one has night privileges.

    • Kristen: Did you treat a girl named Alice?

      Dr. Stringer: Where did you hear that name?

      Kristen: That's who attacked me in the shower. You're not gonna answer me, are you? What happened to Iris? How many girls have disappeared at this hospital? Nurse Lundt was wiping someone's name off the door when I got here.

      Dr. Stringer: Well, you were heavily sedated. I'm sure you believe you saw what you say.

      Kristen: [scoffs, shakes her head] It happened.

      [remembers it clear as day]

      Kristen: What happened to them?

      Dr. Stringer: To whom?

      Kristen: To Iris. Alice. Tammy. Are they dead?

      Dr. Stringer: Why would you think they're dead?

      Kristen: [leaning closer to him over desk] There's a ghost in here.

      Dr. Stringer: A ghost? What does it look like?

      Kristen: A girl. The one that attacked me in the shower! The one I see in the halls!

      [sits back]

      Kristen: Same with the other girls.

      [shakes her head]

      Kristen: I know they've seen her too. So, please... Tell me what's going on here!

      [stands, leaning on desk, imploring look in her eyes:]

      Kristen: Please!

      Dr. Stringer: [shakes his head] I can't give you the answers, Kristen. You have to find them for yourself.

    • Kristen: Emily! What happened?

      Emily: Those orderlies caught me. And they hurt my arms.

      [Kristen sighs, closes her eyes]

      Emily: Did you find Iris?

      Kristen: No.

      [shakes her head]

      Kristen: No. She's gone. She's not coming back. Look... if we don't get out of here, we're next.

      Emily: We're not getting out.

      Kristen: We have to try again.

      Emily: Nobody. Gets. Out.
