Lessons To Be Learned From Horror Films (263 movies items)"Brotherly love. It's forever. Even in death."

Elokuvapäiväkirja (48 movies items)"Cronenbergien katsominen ei ole huvittanut moneen vuoteen. Dead Ringers on taas hyvässä ja pahassa niin Cronenbergia kuin olla ja voi.

Jeremy Irons does one of his most memorable and disturbing roles as two twins. David Cronenberg deliver another unique but hard to love film. "

Yeah, it is that good and, the first time I saw it, I must have been 14-15 years old and it just blew my mind. 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.

Scarier Than Fiction (50 movies items)"Stewart and Cyril Marcus Twins Stewart and Cyril Marcus were gynaecologists who were found dead in 1975 having suffered withdrawal from their barbiturate addiction. Cronenberg read about the brothers in Ron Rosenbaum's essays and took elements of their story for his movie."
