These are the kind of horror movies I enjoy instead of the over the top supernatural ones. It’s scary how people’s brains can react to traumatic experiences

[@alyssewonderland7465]

Its not scary because this doesn't happen, DID is highly misrepresented in media and quite stigmatizing. People get DID because of heavy trauma, the brain creates alters so that the host doesnt have to experience any negative or traumatising situations. They won't act violent unless its self defense, because that would be more traumatic. People with DID are very scared and fragile people, not evil or psychopathic. Also DID starts at a very young age and when they have grown up they are usually aware of their alters. So this is definitely a "supernatural" movie because this doesnt happen.

There's an alternate ending where Emily ends up in the hospital and after being locked in her room she begins playing hide-and-seek. She opens the closet and door and says found you while looking at a mirror.

[@LxstinNeverland]

I believe there are 4 or 5 different endings to this movie. I own the DVD and you can choose between all the endings. A few end with the whole idea of here having DID, and some ending a little more happily where Emily is okay and living with Katherine with no issues. Honestly, this movie is one of my favorites because of how well written it is and the different endings.

[@arko5959]

[@arko5959]

@@LxstinNeverland thanks:)

[@LxstinNeverland]

@Velvet Ska the first is the theatrical ending, the one shown here. Emily is happy with Katherine but shows a drawing of her having two heads, or DID. The alternate ending (also the happiest) is the same as the theatrical except she only has one head in the drawing so everything is fine now. Another version shows her with Katherine but she's playing hide and seek and says "there you are" in the mirror, suggesting that she has DID. The fourth ending is where Katherine is saying goodnight to Emily in her bedroom but when she leaves, she locks the door and we see that Emily is actually in a psychiatric ward. The final ending is with Emily counting down playing hide and seek, but she's in the psychiatric ward. Honestly this is one of my favorite movies.

i believe the reason he was "in his study" while Charlie fronted( i believe thats the right word) is because there is such thing called a headspace where alters go when they're not fronting. my friend briefly explained this to me as they have DID and tell me about what its like but i believe David being in his study was actually getting kicked out of fronting and unknowingly forced into the headspace which is him in his study.

I remember watching this. It was particularly eerie. DeNiro and young Dakota Fanning are such good actors.

[@Khmel321]

I love this movie so much, it's one of my favorites! I re-watched it last night and noticed the reason why their favorite game was "hide and seek" throughout the movie was because when David caught his wife cheating with another man they were playing hide and seek before making out on the stairs (he was saying "come out come out wherever you are"). I guess that is when his Charlie persona was created. I did see the other alternate endings for this film and they are a bit spooky too!

[@honeydhydra3925]

Love Dakota Fanning! She's such a talented young actress then, n now still. 😊

[@Chey1214_]

This was a really good summary, you did a great job. Along with the explanation too. But as good a movie as this was, I wish it depicted DID in a better light, especially considering DID is a trauma-based disorder that's caused due to things like sexual, verbal, and physical abuse as a young child. DID is a way for a child to cope with such horrible things before they're old enough to develop their personality, which causes multiple to form. Plus most of the time, there are more than two personalities, which are called alters. The thing about these movies that makes me angry is that the people who have this are victims and have been through a lot in their lives, yet movies like this and Split portray them as evil and serial killers.

[@Itssick]

it was just a cool way for an unexpected plot twist lol if he just had DID for no reason in this movie it wouldve been boring if yk what i mean

Movies tend to not give an accurate representation of a lot things (at least not 100%). Turn books into films is another. Because of this, it's generally a good idea to take them with a grain of salt.

[@chickenfingers4281]

It would be an interesting topic for a mystery/horror movie where the main suspect has DID, but instead of the stereotype, they’re practically harmless. Instead, the perpetrator was actually they’re sibling/friend/whatever was taking advantage of the person’s DID to commit atrocities. Because of the DID stereotype the movie would focus mainly in this character and make them seem suspicious, but they’re harmless. I think it would be both fun and more accurate than the stereotype. (I posted this on another comment. Tell me what y’all think).
