User Reviews
“I was drawn in by the concept of a talk show host with multiple personalities, and it delivered more than I expected. The atmosphere is claustrophobic and unsettling, and the lead actor does a great job switching between personas. It didn't scare me outright, but it left me feeling uneasy long after the credits.”
“For me, Schism had a strong premise but felt a bit muddled in the middle. The psychological tension is there, but the murders are more hinted at than shown, which might disappoint gore hounds. Still, the ending is a trip and makes you rethink the whole movie.”
“I appreciate what Purtell tried to do, but the pacing was slow and the twist felt a bit predictable. The multiple personalities angle is always tricky, and here it felt more gimmicky than genuinely terrifying. I'd recommend it for fans of character-driven horror, but don't expect much in the way of scares.”
“As someone who loves psychological horror, Schism really scratched that itch. It's a slow burn but so worth it. The performance of the lead guy was phenomenal, and the way they handle his different identities is both fascinating and creepy. The ending hit me hard—I had to watch it twice to fully grasp the layers. Underrated gem!”
