Negative Positive
Title: Split Personality
Review: To believe that I wasted over two hours watching this mess is not comforting to me. Usually when I see a movie with such good actors as Morgan Freeman and Jason Lee, I am drawn to it. Clearly this is not a film in which the actors can rise above the material. Is it a warm personal Steven King story like "Stand By Me?" Or is it a typical Steven King horror story? Who knows? To me it does not work either way. I thought that there might be something interesting about the relationship of the four main characters and the young man they befriended as children by standing up to bullies who were picking on him. No, we do not get that at all. And, the horror story was completely trite. Even the movie itself knows this, calling the monster "Ripley" after Sigourney Weaver's character in the "Alien" movies. But, trying to be two different things insured that neither worked. The ending? Makes little or no sense even within the context of fantasy.
Is the review positive or negative?
