what

Actually, I have a lot of doubts about the plot setting of this movie. The story never explained how the twenty-fourth personality was formed. According to my speculation, the reason for the formation of the twenty-fourth personality is to protect the body of the protagonist. And setting the plot like this, I feel that there is a little contradiction with the male protagonist finally letting go of the female protagonist. Besides, I don't think it's a bit too violent to be able to split into 24 personalities. However, as a horror and thriller, the movie's scene settings and music are still in place. In particular, the actor's acting skills can flexibly switch among several personalities freely, and it is difficult to change other actors. I think the plot of the movie would have been more eye-catching if the movie didn't tell the male protagonist that he had a split personality at the beginning, leaving a suspense. In addition, the plot can be more compact, and the story of the heroine's childhood in the middle is a little long-winded. And the ending confuses me too much. Personally, I feel that the center of this film is not particularly prominent. It is not so much a call to pay attention to DID, it may be more to let everyone pay attention to child abuse and sexual assault.

    Claire Benoit: He's gonna come in here again any second now, and we're not gonna let him take one of us out again. We just screamed and didn't hurt him, because we were afraid he'd get upset. God, that's victim shit!

    [with her hands in her hair:]

    Claire Benoit: Jesus! We should fight him! We should drop a crazy-ass bomb on him!

    Casey Cooke: [quietly] I saw him carry one of you in here and lay you on the bed like you weighed nothing. One punch from him would knock one of us out.

    Claire Benoit: I took... I took six months of Kenpo karate class. And you distract the assailant with pain.
