...but the main disappointment for me in the film was Amber Heard, who is such a hard-working, hard-trying young actress but she does not get anywhere. She staggers through this movie with no clue what to add to her role. I don't know, maybe she needs more directing. I still love her in "All the boys love Many Lane". Watch her peers like Kirstin Steward (only not as a vampire bride) or Jennifer Lawrence who have such a band-with of expression. What a difference. She seems much to aware of her looks. Maybe she should try the Charlize Theron thing and play someone really ugly and horrible. Everything that is left of her skills after that is worth pursuing.
Mr. Carpenter still knows how to pull of a few scares but this is it. While having to admit that the idea of showing the fight of a patient against his multiple personalities - from the viewpoint of one of the multiple personalities is somewhat original, the execution is laughably basic, uninspired and old-schoolish. I bet the slasher DID get laughs on the big screen.
