The film was magnificent and it brought me back to when movies were written with original material not tropes from other films. To be fair, I was rather hesitant at first since Shyamalan had some terrible films in the past -- I am surprised he had the opportunity to craft this masterpiece. Also, the trailer did not do justice with the film -- it almost resulted in me avoiding this film. The following reasons were seeing another lunatic trope acting crazy in the sake of acting crazy for edginess which the trailer I saw conceived it as. However, I went to see it with family and I was surprised by the writing, filming, and the acting. I would have really missed a great movie -- I have to say this is one of my all time favourite movies thus far in this generation. I liked the concept that the antagonist suffered from disassociative identity disorder and how it was the premise to an abduction film. I liked the psychology aspect of it and how was applied in realistic terms although it seemed supernatural but is feasible in real life. It reminded me of 'Psycho' although Shyamalan played it smart and didn't over-explain the disorder but writ the symptoms of the disorder and had the actor act them out rather than just being a generic crazy person. I really love the fact that this film alone is good enough especially without the tie in to Unbreakable --which is another favourite film of mine. I was generally surprised by the little outro and seeing the connection between this film and Unbreakables.
