So I went to the movies yesterday and there was a preview for a movie called “split”. It was about a guy with multiple personality disorder. I couldn’t help but have a reaction to the trailer as it was another demonic horror film about a terribly misunderstood disorder. To make matters worse, some obnoxious little wise guy in the back row shouted, “that’s what I deal with every day” it looks frightening

Damnit as a horror movie lover I’m often torn between enjoying it and being offended…plus horror movies seem to use mi as a crutch when they don’t have any good ideas…I wish Hollywood would come up with some new ■■■■ instead of recycling…

Dude @flameoftherhine I read your post a week or so ago about that ride in California. This movie looks so bad I honestly got the chills. I couldn’t destinguish between what the character was suffering with and sz. It’s terrible how bad they make it look. The guy was a complete monster.

See that’s going too far…I’ll probably avoid this movie…
Shamalayan is the producer. He’s known for making shitty horror films. This one is just downright despicable. A guy with multiple personality disorder that kidnaps a group of teens. And the title, cmon it’s like we’re still in the dark ages

I saw the preview for it too
Wasn’t Shamalyan know for doing other movies where someone with MI was the villain. I remember there was a post on here about someone lamenting about it.
I was lamenting about it and “Split”. The other one, I think is called “The Visit” and the villains/monsters are an elderly couple both with sz who had escaped a psyche ward nearby.
In “Split”, it looks like the main character has DID. I complained about it before too.
There needs to be more education about what’s commonly referred to as "abnormal psychology ". I think the more real information people have, the less dehumanizing will occur. It’s shameful.
Shamalamma is an idiot…and a terrible director…minus very little in his body of work…I may just watch it now to pick it apart…I love dissecting shitty movies…

I notice movies about males with mental health problems always make them out to be dangerous.
