Character List

The main character which entails a series of mental problems throughout the film, stemming back to the childhood of the character, which makes him develop schizophrenia in later adulthood. Later in the extract, he starts to let the mental illness get back at him and wants revenge for what had previously happened in his life. The revenge he takes to try and fight the battle is where he kills innocent people so they can feel his pain. The twist in the story is that it isn't his personality doing, it is another personality that has developed over time to havoc revenge.

The alter ego is another character in the film is what the boy would have been like if previous situations didn't occur. However he is stronger minded and wants the revenge so he takes to it by killing people.

There are numerous victims that are featured with no real add to the dialogue with the scenes. They don't create a relationship with the audiences and there deaths aren't highlighted as a tragedy as the film focuses on the person with schizophrenia and his alter-ego.

Lastly there will be a police officer/detective who is featured that is trying to catch the culprit of these murders as he wants justice to prevail. This character features regularly but the audience will struggle to create a positive relationship with him as he is trying to take down the main character. This will be because we will try to focus on the issues that the main character is facing and the helplessness he portrays as the alter-ego is taking over his life.

The parents of the main character also features regularly as they are the main reason for the situation happening, whether it be in flashbacks of progressing the storyline. The storyline will focus on the abuse of one parent more than the other, but the other parent turns a blind eye towards it.
