Kevin Wendell Crumb (better known by the alias of “The Horde”) is the central protagonist of the Eaststrail 177 film trilogy, serving as the main antagonist of Shyamalan's 2016 thriller Split and the secondary antagonist of Glass through his 23 split personalities, namely Dennis, a cold, sociopathic, demented man, ...
David is on the hunt for Beast, the serial killer introduced in “Split,” 24 personalities inside one body (played by James McAvoy), who was once someone named Kevin. Kevin, who terrorized high-school girls in the first movie, is up to it again here, until David decides to intervene.
Kevin Wendell Crumb, a man diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID) rooted in his history of childhood abuse and abandonment, has been managing living with his 23 distinct identities ("alters") well for several years with help from his therapist, Dr. Karen Fletcher.
Kevin's more evil personalities, “Dennis” and “Patricia” are awaiting the arrival of “The Beast” which is Kevin's 24th personality and is an animal-like killer who seeks to rid the world of the “impure,” which are those who have not suffered.
By contrast, The Beast has a raw power that seems to carry him through fights. His instincts appear to be better than Dunn's, and they're basically matched in terms of strength. Kevin likely would have won if the two hadn't been interrupted in Glass.
Split is real enough. The bad guy is a real person with a real disorder portrayed, for the most part, in a very realistic way. For full fright effect, a thriller must go beyond the real into that which is unthinkable outside of the movie theatre. Split achieves the real and the beyond-the-real.
Jeni Haynes wasn't born with multiple personalities, but instead developed them throughout her childhood as she experienced extreme and repeated torture at the hands of her father, Richard Haynes.
He was the first person diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder to raise such a defense, and the first acquitted of a major crime for this reason, instead spending a decade in psychiatric hospitals. Milligan's life story was popularized by Daniel Keyes's award-winning non-fiction book The Minds of Billy Milligan.
Kevin as "Dennis" knocked out Mr. Benoit and kidnapped three teenage girls, Casey Cooke, Claire Benoit, and Marcia, knocking them out with chloroform before taking them in an underground bunker of the Philadelphia Zoo, intending to use them as food for "The Beast".
Jackson's Elijah Price made for a memorable, complex villain in both Glass and Unbreakable, but it's unclear what Mr. Glass' real superpower was. Unbreakable centers on David Dunn (Bruce Willis), a normal man who survives a horrifying train wreck without a single scratch.
David has a weakness to water; being exposed to water weakens him and drains his strength. He had a near-death experience when he nearly drowned at a young age due to children his age trying to push him under water. As a result, he wears a long, hooded raincoat as part of his vigilante disguise.
Weaknesses. Disease: As a result of Type 1 Osteogenesis Imperfecta, his bones are brittle and break easily. This led to him using canes and wheelchairs. His disease also sparked his interest in superheroes.
Jackson. Elijah has a disease called osteogenesis imperfecta type I, a genetic disease that causes his bones to break as if they were glass, a fact that gave rise to his nickname in school.
In both Unbreakable and Glass, we could argue that Elijah's superpower is being an effective criminal mastermind with an incredibly high, genius-level intelligence. In a way, it's his disease that acts as the inciting incident, the push that gets him into the place he needs to be to assume his criminal identity as Mr.
Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price / Mr. Glass: A genius wheelchair user, comic book theorist with Type I osteogenesis imperfecta, and mass murderer, who was institutionalized after Dunn discovered his crimes.
Olympe, who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, or DID, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, posts regular YouTube films on what it is like to live with around 40 different distant “personalities” and debunks clichés over the condition.
The story of Sybil — a young woman who had been abused by her mother as a child and, as a result, had a mental breakdown and created multiple personalities — caused a sensation. Sybil was a bestselling book in the 1970s and was adapted as a 1976 television mini-series and a feature-length docudrama in 2007.
A person living with DID may have as few as two alters or as many as 100. The average number is about 10. Often alters are stable over time, continuing to play specific roles in the person's life for years.
In the late 1970s, an accused serial rapist claims multiple personalities control his behavior, setting off a legal odyssey that captivates America. Watch all you want.
The psychopathology Arthur exhibits is unclear, preventing diagnosis of psychotic disorder or schizophrenia; the unusual combination of symptoms suggests a complex mix of features of certain personality traits, namely psychopathy and narcissism (he meets DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder).
Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a rare psychiatric disorder diagnosed in about 1.5% of the global population. This disorder is often misdiagnosed and often requires multiple assessments for an accurate diagnosis. Patients often present with self-injurious behavior and suicide attempts.
Similar to Kevin's mother, Dennis has OCD and is obsessed with cleanliness. According to Dr. Fletcher's files briefly seen in "Split," Dennis is one of two caretakers of the group. The other is Patricia.
