- DirectorBruce A. EvansStarsKevin CostnerDemi MooreWilliam HurtA well-respected businessman is sometimes controlled by his murder and mayhem-loving alter ego.Not DID but more of a Jekyll and Hyde nature. Of course, a murdered.
He’s actually referred to as Brooks’ id. So definitely Jekyll and Hyde in nature. If the trilogy went through it would have been bland and predictable, rather than an exploration of the human condition and a reflection of masculinity in conservative society. Even if it indulged in male fantasy of murder and power it would have been a solid reflection. - DirectorGeorge MihalkaStarsPaul KelmanLori HallierNeil AffleckA decades-old folk tale surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day turns out to be true to legend when a group defies the killer's order and people start turning up dead.The DID twist comes only at the very very end. Rest of the film is great but that ending sucks DID wise. I wish that these people were just liars or something instead of going the DID route. Like an Until Dawn ending.
- DirectorElio PetriStarsGian Maria VolontèFlorinda BolkanGianni SantuccioA high-ranking police inspector kills his mistress and deliberately plants clues indicating his responsibility for the crime in a sardonic test to prove that he is above suspicion.More of another side of his self, as there is no childhood trauma or littles. But they still call it out as DID and I think they even use that exact terminology.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAnthony PerkinsJanet LeighVera MilesA secretary on the run for embezzlement takes refuge at a secluded California motel owned by a repressed man and his overbearing mother.Besides the murdering aspect, and possibly the age he gets DID, and changing into another outfit, and not having any other identities (that we know of) it gets about half of it right. This film is the one that started it all. Of course. Thanks, Hitch.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBrad PittEdward NortonMeat LoafAn insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.Not DID but “split personality” who Ed Norton can physically see and interact with. No childhood trauma. Comes out of nowhere. Does add anything to the plot.

- DirectorsBobby FarrellyPeter FarrellyStarsJim CarreyRenée ZellwegerAnthony AndersonA nice-guy cop with Dissociative Identity Disorder must protect a woman on the run from a corrupt ex-boyfriend and his associates.Not DID but “split personality” and then immediately called a “schizo.”
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsJames McAvoyAnya Taylor-JoyHaley Lu RichardsonThree girls are kidnapped by a man with a diagnosed 23 distinct personalities. They must try to escape before the apparent emergence of a frightful new 24th.Everything about this movie is awful. Not as inaccurate as others though. James gives a solid performance. But omg you can’t turn into a demon creature. And the therapist in this is the worst.
- DirectorGregory HoblitStarsRichard GereLaura LinneyEdward NortonA high-profile murder intrigues a publicity hungry lawyer.Ed Norton FAKES having DID. This is the worst offender of them all.
- StarsJoanne WoodwardSally FieldBrad DavisA young woman whose childhood was so harrowing to her that she developed sixteen different personalities is treated by a doctor.Trauma porn. Fictionalized.
- DirectorNunnally JohnsonStarsJoanne WoodwardDavid WayneLee J. CobbA doctor treats a woman suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder.Unfortunately still the most accurate depiction, but still have a scene of violence. Also paints integration as the goal and it kinda comes out of nowhere.
- DirectorMiguel ArtetaStarsMichael CeraPortia DoubledayJean SmartWhile his trailer trash parents teeter on the edge of divorce, Nick Twisp sets his sights on dream girl Sheeni Saunders, hoping that she'll be the one to take away his virginity.Not DID but “alter ego” which HE CHOOSES.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsMichael CaineAngie DickinsonNancy AllenA mysterious blonde woman kills one of the patients of a psychiatrist and then goes after the high-class hooker who witnessed the murder.Twist ending it’s revealed to be alter ego who is doing the murder. Fucking great.
- DirectorJohn PolsonStarsRobert De NiroDakota FanningFamke JanssenAs a widower tries to piece together his life in the wake of his wife's suicide, his daughter finds solace, at first, in her imaginary friend.Dad Jekyll Hyde. Daughter has it in final shot of drawing plot twist ending. Just 2 for each. Stupid. He whole premise is keeping it a secret and a mystery.
