Not a bad movie. Not a great one either. Good suspense and intrigue throughout, let down by some silly scripting and unnecessary scene inclusions.

Interesting story, the odd hole in the plot, but not big enough to intrude too much.

first half is good. Julianne Moore is always brilliant. Then the second half comes in and the movie gets really preachy and in broad strokes. They talk in generalities as if you should know what they mean, which is what happens when a religious organisation finances a horror movie. Watch the movie Identity instead, much better made by the same writer and not brought down by the producers input.

Really enjoyed this one - yes it did dwell into the supernatural a bit too much, would have preferred the different personalities road instead. Only downside was that it did get a bit silly near the end, but then finished on a good (unexpected) note I thought. Thought JRM was brilliant in the role.

Fantastic horror movie so twisted that it kept you thinking until right to the end. Mostly hinted at rather than outrightly gruesome, it was a very clever piece. Totally unpredictable.

Not a bad movie, A little slow and predictable. Not enough action for husband but watchable.

Not sure what genre this comes under - but it might be helpful to place it in under 'horror' or supernatural thriller. That might prepare the viewer for road this goes down after a fairly promising start. Cannot fault the acting of JM or JRM. It all does get explained at the end but there is a bit too much happening at once .

Was interested in combination of Julianne Moore and JRM. Started off ok, but quickly crumbled. I was disappointed. Felt a bit like I had wasted time watching it unfortunately!

I chose this movie to watch because I thought it was a psychological thriller but turned out to be an dark occult story - and a rather confusing one at that. Julianne Moore steals the show with her performance but I wasn't too rapt in the movie overall.

I really enjoyed this movie. The main reason was the supernantural spin it had.

A female forensic psychiatrist discovers that all of one of her patient's multiple personalities are murder victims. She will have to find out what's happening before her time is finished. First half of the movie is a really good watch but then storyline became ridiculous. A shame because Julianne Moore is excellent in this

A muddled, rather silly plot that abruptly changes direction midway through and makes increasingly less sense as the film progresses. The always-excellent Julianne Moore is the only thing that saves the movie from being utterly abysmal.

was a good movie, i had a problem with it though that made me only give it 3 stars it went from being about a guy with multiple personalities and turned into supernatural and basically ignored the split personality side of the movie i didn't like that it done that, if it stayed being about split personality it would have been great but adding the supernatural part into the movie i felt annoyed it also felt as if the movie changed completely. could have been a top movie but failed because of that.
