Beasts invade when darkness falls

The trailer's collection of 23 personalities makes this movie very gimmicky.

But it begins with an inexplicable kidnapping case. Without the usual horror and abuse footage, the kidnappers show up immediately, and the suspense deepens. The kidnapper has 23 multiple personalities, the dominant type is calm obsessive-compulsive disorder, a feminine-controlled woman, and a timid and talkative 9-year-old child. Several personalities appear in turn and gradually reveal multiple Kevins.

Multiple personalities is a very rare phenomenon in psychology, and it is also a favorite topic in film and television dramas. A person's ability to develop multiple personalities is largely due to the protective psychological drive caused by long-term abuse in childhood. This drive is like a reaction, making the weak child go to the other end of the evil and tyrannical, and rarely stay in the normal personality.

There are too many great good things in this world, and too many great evils caused by inability to fight. Looking at the conflict of 13 multiple personalities in "Deadly ID" is more of a suspenseful drama, then this movie is asking about human psychology. Sometimes holding a shotgun in hand doesn't necessarily pull the trigger to protect oneself, sometimes being abused doesn't necessarily make a person strong, and when darkness falls, beasts attack.

Everyone is a victim in this movie, and the perpetrator always lives under the gentle face. This is the saddest reality.

Finally, I would like to thank Yimei for her good acting skills.

Split quotes

  • Marcia: [as Claire struggles with door] It doesn't matter if you open that door, Claire. There's a second locked door.

    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.

    Casey Cooke: Everything is so easy for you guys. You do one thing, you can predict the next thing.

    [shakes her head]

    Casey Cooke: It's not the way it's gonna be in this situation.

    Claire Benoit: We're not getting out of here! You're saying you're not gonna fight with everything in you? You know, the only chance... the only chance we have is if all three of us go crazy on this guy. We have to hurry!

    Marcia: We need you, Casey. Claire's smart. Let's listen to her. I'll do it, but you're gonna do it too. We can win.

    Casey Cooke: He'll hurt us. No, shut up. Both of you.

    Claire Benoit: [to Casey] You're gonna pick your miserable self up and help us get out of here.

    Casey Cooke: Blow me. And your six months of karate at the King of Prussia mall can blow me too.

    Claire Benoit: No. No, you can't, can't do this today. You can't do this right now. Why do you do this? Why do you act like this? Why do you act like you're not one of us?

  • Dennis: [to the three captives] Patricia has reminded me that... I was sent to you for a reason. That... you are sacred food. And I promise not to bother you again.

    [shuts door as he leaves]

    Marcia: Maybe he has a dog or something. You think he's gonna feed us to his dogs?
