An unconventional horror

This movie freaked the hell out of me, despite the fact that there's no conventional or even unconventional horror elements in it at all. It's basically just like a dark character tragedy that's elevated by the incredibly chilling performances of Jeremy Irons. Seriously, one of the greatest acting turns ever. Not only does he manage to make each twin into a genuine, believable and distinct character, but he takes each of them down a scary, twisted road that forms the backbone of the film's plot. Incredible that he was barely recognized for this film; it just shows the genre and occasional director bias that unfortunately plagues awards ceremonies. Too bad, because this film is brill. |
