A man struggles with a split personality disorder, turning to an unlikely group of young women for counseling. Haha, just kidding it’s a kidnapping-horror movie.

A stupid and deaf guy does stupid things while being deaf.

This was listed as a thriller and isn’t even remotely thrilling. It is slow and depressing throughout. I got well past an hour without being thrilled.
