Thriller is acceptable, suspense lame

Catch and hide, the subject matter has a mysterious hidden meaning. It gives people the most intuitive feeling, dark, claustrophobic and narrow. In the film, the hide-and-seek scene in Emily's room is shown many times through the perspective of the wardrobe gap. The third perspective makes the atmosphere of tension and fear come out. When Charlie is mentioned, the first reaction is that Emily has a split personality, but it seems that it will not be so simple. When Emily said she didn't want to see Charlie again, it seemed to me that David was Charlie. The window that was opened, the blood in the bathroom, and 2:06 in the morning, all these are reminders. The time is accurate to the minute and second. Is it the dividing point of the split personality? It was not explained later. When Charlie, who was split from David, was completely exposed, the film only explained the cause and effect through a few flashing frames, and then continued the plot. The explanation here seems too far-fetched, at least not to convince me. For similar films, Fatal ID is the best I've seen.
