Rating:  - Profound examination of lost sanity, the decline of brilliance unto madness.
Like many other known masters of horror like Tobe Hooper or George Romero, David Cronemberg is one of the most renowned and prominent directors working today in the industry. Only few talented filmakers sprang into public consciousness with such audacity and intelligence, from a series of low budget surprising shockers back in the mid 70's , untill today's acclaimed classic masterpieces of all times in modern horror, with the unmistakable mark of a true author, a gifted brilliant talent that explored ...

Rating: - Smart horror for the thinking person to obsess upon
This is one of the most disturbing films I have seen and I recently watched it again after 10 years and found it is just as disturbing now as 10 years ago.
The story is very hard to describe because much of the action is actually mental deterioration of Beverly and Elliot Mantle, twin gynecologists. These men are brilliant and whereas one conducts the clinical research and writes the journal publications, the other markets their work and is the public face of their accomplishments. Beverly ...

Rating: - Survival by death
Cronenberg is the most surprising and shocking film director I know but he always deals with situations that are out of the ordinary and he pushes them to their extreme end or even beyond.

They become obsessed with separating the Siamese twins they are ... Read More
Rating:  - The WORST movie I've ever seen.
This has got to be the WORST MOVIE that I've ever seen. Unless you REALLY go for semi-erotic thrillers, skip this unless you really want to see how NOT to make a movie. Had Jeremy Irons skipped this movie, he probably would have become one of the leading actors of the early 90s. I remember going to see this movie simply because it seemed like his career was on the upswing and some friends I ran into recommended we go see it instead of the cheesy comedy we were going to see. What a waste. Some people on internet ... Read More
Rating: - what a waste!
This movie begins with the interesting idea of psychological Siamese twins but quickly descends to a trashy story of sexual deviation and drug addiction. What a waste of talent all around! For a different kind of movie about Siamese twins, I recommend "Twin Falls, Idaho." Better still, why doesn't someone film the story of Chang and Eng Bunker, the original Siamese twins?
