An example of a horror/ thriller where the main
protagonist or antagonist has multiple personality disorder is The Ward. The
main character, Kristin, experiences attacks from a monstrous almost zombie
like ghost, which kills off most of the other characters, however it is later
revealed that the ghost and the other girls aren’t real. In order to survive
her past torture, she had created different personalities, including Kristin.
In fact we also find out that her real name is Alice, the girl who we are led
to believe is the ghost. Alice's own personality became so overwhelmed by that
of the others that she became lost. Through experimental techniques, Dr.
Stringer had the zombie "Alice" killing the other personalities one
by one until only her original personality remained.
For my movie trailer, I want to portray someone who
has multiple personality disorder, but doesn’t realise this, so instead of
being crazy he just sees glimpses of his other personalities who try to warn
him, but he doesn’t know that.
