Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

An aging psychiatrist, Dr. Kevin Khoury, now writing about the illness of multiple personality disorders is approached by a woman at a book signing, eventuality forcing him to go into one of his older cases, when he gave diagnostics to a young girl's case the woman's sister. This is the start of a film which has a great deal of talent, and which could have been quite a film if the script writing had held all the story though.With quite a meager budget the film maker has made a film which manages to keep your interest all the way until the end, which might not follow up your expectations. The acting is excellent. Armane Assante is great as the psychiatrist, but the one stealing the show is Lacey Chabert, which plays the sister. She is absolutely amazing in her role as the MPD-ridden girl.If you like a good mystery, this is time well spent, with a great idea in the midst of a film which allowed your mind to work hard. Still I could see this material being made into a very good film with a little better script writing. The rest if the film is very talented all the way through.

Since it is not a movie for the theaters but straight to TV, so not a big budget film, i think they did a decent job. It was entertaining and the plot twists may not be mind blowing it still did it for me. I wouldn't shout of the rooftops to go and see it but I might tell people to check it.I read a review from someone complaining about the special effects. I don't get his point, there are not many real special effects in it and since it is not a big budget movie I'd say they were good enough.All and all a decent movie, good enough acting mostly and maybe a few things could have been done better but hey, give me one title of a blockbusting movie that doesn't have that.Also I would like to point out that it's hard to make a movie with this kind of story that makes sense to everybody.Maybe it would have been more satisfying for the big audience with more gore and action and dazzling effects but imho it didn't need that.Maybe some more character building could have been nice... Just check it out some day ;)

Wonderful theme and very suspenseful up to the end, it catches the interest of the intelligent viewer and I guess it would be even more catching for a person with Psycology and psychiatry leanings and likings. the ending was a bit obscure to me as I didn't get to know why the doc had interred his wife in Spain, how his revealing the deathbed of the wife led to the cure of the multiple-personality disease of the girl, and what was his intention after all for all his support, consisting his time and effort whatsoever on getting to cure the patient, if it had ever any relatedness to his wife from the very start that he came to Spain? It ended up after all to be another recurrent characters who are faithful protagonists acting at the focal point of the film, while they turn out to be the hideously destructive force of the incidents. What lied beneath this rater sensible character of the composite doc, I am not aware? dealing with patients of psychological disorder? The untold but obvious dealing one can make one wonder if this was a contagious disorder, the patient being cured, caught the doc himself. What I appreciated most was the unaffected character of Dina Meyer who having initiated all this relationship, had seemed to show affections to the doc-if it was not a front, but anyway had seen a scholarly appreciated character torn to piece, and was so calm at the end.

Well, I checked this out due to the high rating (hmm, wonder where that came from). However, it's a standard shocker flick (not "horror", not a "thriller", ... I guess the intention was shock). I ended up fast-forwarding through the majority of it as it was fairly unwatchable. The main character is a really unlikable (except to himself) dude. The effects and music are laughably - seriously, I laughed out loud - cheesy. The generic choice for a title was a good move, however, if only in that it might bring in a "lost" audience ("hey, this could be a drama, or thriller, or even a horror...sounds good!). I'm sure you're (cast & crew) nice people and all, but isn't it really just a waste of everyone's time to produce sub-standard stuff such as this? I don't blame you for trying, but I hate having my time wasted.
