Straight to the point, not so good

The thriller focuses on mental stimulation, but after watching it again, I didn't really get scared. According to the background music, you can think that the scarred Alice is about to appear, and what is even more depressing is that she actually appears...
I haven’t seen a schizophrenic movie, but I feel that the plot is quite simple. Compete with different personalities to complete self-salvation. It’s just that I don’t understand at the end, how come that Christine is back, is it because she was not killed?

    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 expected.

    Carpenter is old, and the actresses in it are young.

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.
