no I will not be going to see this. it is a fictional (not real) horror mystery drama. by a writer who's material is based on gore and super natural/ psychic phenomena, in short everything found in the movie will be things that disqualify a person for having DID. the plot of the movie is that he kidnaps three girls and does unspeakable horrors to the girls all in the name of having DID. there are many references to the harry potter series (most likely because the writer was going to be part of producing harry potter but missed out due to other films that he was producing at the time when asked to help out on harry potter movies) the writer is also known for perpetrating documentary style hoax's.

I tend to stay away from movies that portray mental illness in such negative ways as this. and when I do see any movies by this writer I keep in mind he is a writer of fiction, horror, mystery and the supernatural so what is in the screen is going to reflect that... lots of gore, stigmatizing of the mentally ill, and anything else that will get the rating and money coming in.
