Shyamalan back on form
Considering Shyamalan hasn't made a great film since Unbreakable, I really hadn't been expecting much from this and I'm pleased to say I was proved wrong.

This is a great return to form. James McAvoy puts in a fantastic turn as the multiple personalities, and the story itself is tense and interesting. The twist at the end was good, although I did find the general ending itself (prior to the twist) was a little disappointing but not enough to ruin the film.

Crazy mashup of two movies within the same timeline, however you dont really need to see either to enjoy what's on offer here.
McAvoy stands out as the man with multiple personalities that emerge frequently and with very different accents and issues, he should be nominated for the acting judo he pulls off for that alone.
The story is a little confusing and does little to unravel anything for the viewer which takes away any intended impact.
Not bad, but not great by any stretch of the imagination.

I'll be honest here. The surprise of Raeanne and Kaeleigh being the same person, as in one body with two personalities, was blown for me before I even began reading... Considering I was deliberately looking for books including multiple/split personalities. Perhaps that has a huge effect on how I felt about the book in general, but I suppose I'll never really know. I was pretty bored throughout a majority of the story. I read some reviews that said this was Ellen's most twisted and disturbing book yet, but I guess I'm made of much tougher stuff, because it really didn't bother me. I'm not saying what happened to Kaeleigh is okay, in any way, I'm just saying my reaction wasn't nearly as strong as some others. I felt like there wasn't much in the way of character development, though Ellen made it very easy to despise the father and mother.
