Dead Ringers (1988)

“David Cronenberg may not be one of my all-time favourite directors, but do admire him greatly. Even he is not a personal favourite, he is for me one of the most interesting and unique directors out there, his directing style, his themes and how he explores them and how he manages to get the best out of talented actors. He may be one of the originators of the "body horror" genre, but his films are much more than just full on gore and horror, a good deal of his films are disturbing and weird sure but there is humour and emotion in his films too.

All of this is exemplified in 'Dead Ringers'. Do consider it one of his best films and one of my favourites of his too, one of his finest triumphs and also Jeremy Irons' (have said a couple of times about loving him as an actor, one who is ” read more

" Date: 8/9/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: It's been a while since I have seen this movie and I did buy the Scream Factory Blu-Ray recently on Amazon Prime on sale. I also want to buy it before the Blu-Ray goes out of print in the near future (Shout Factory has been losing a lot of their titles lately). I watched the 2K transfer on the second disc because that is the preferred aspect ratio from David Cronenberg. Dead Ringers is still a fantastic movie and I put it at my #5 spot in my Top "

"4.4. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Cronenberg hyvin cronenbergläisissä body horror -teemoissa ilman sitä varsinaista body horroria. Etäinen, lähes kliininen, katsanta yhteyden, mielenterveyden ja oudon seksuaalisuuden teemoihin on kuitenkin varmaan vaikeinta, ahdistavinta ja surullisinta Cronenbergiä. Goren ja näkyvän groteskiuuden poissaolo ei anna "helppoa" hetken hengähdystä raskaalta aiheelta. Loppu musertaa. Jeremy Ironsin tuplarooli on huikea."

Indeed, I had never seen something similar before and I have re-watched at least once every decade ever since and its impact is still very strong.
