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 audio-visual language of "Beautiful Mind" and "The Shining" are very good. On the other hand, "The Third Party" and "Lola Run" are doing very well.
Films without bright spots are not well received.

The Ward 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.
