This movie met criticism for not knowing enough about mental illnesses but who actually knows about that? Our brain is one of the most complicated things and we only use what 10% of it? So what is the rest of our brain capable off?
This might contain a few spoilers, now you are warned.
Kevin has nothing but 23 personalities and each personality is different from one another. There's the artist, the child, the woman living in her zen and the pervert who loves to watch teenage girls dance and suffers from OCD. These are the personalities we are mostly presented to but we also meet one that suffers from diabetes.
Kevin is well hidden and there's a reason, he is weak. The abuse he faced as a child has made him hide inside himself behind these different people. His psychiatrist is the only one who understands him and seems to be able to communicate with him on his level until one day when he kidnaps three teenage girls and keeps them locked up.
One of the girls, one that used to be the outsider at school seems to understand him but they also have faced similar childhood traumatizing. You slowly get to know her inform of flashbacks and what you see will disturb your head. And it can turn you into a hardcore feminist if you aren't one already.
The two other girls are less lucky when Kevin's 24th personality shows up. He is not human and he is hungry; hungry for flesh. These two girls are spoiled brads and they never had anything to complain about (but no doubt they have done it anyways)
The movie is not really scary. You can say if you look deeper into what this movie is about then maybe it is scary but it is not a movie that will make you unable to sleep at night.
James McAvoy really does a great job playing these many roles and making all of the characters unique and I wonder how he so well can hide his thick Scottish accent?
It is a great movie and it makes me positive towards what other new horror movies 2017 will bring.
Go watch this, you will not regret it.
Stay terrified!
