The Twin [Movie Review]


The Twin [Movie Review] | I came across the movie while searching for a new horror movie to watch. 

The poster seems legit, so, why not? Read the tagline 'Evil only a mother could love'. That's promises some scary stuff, right?

Rachel and Anthony was driving along a a highway when a devastating accident happened and they lost one of their twins, Nathan. 

Seeing that his wife is not getting better and certainly depressed and grieving, Anthony decides to move his family to Finland, his hometown.

Ever since the accident, Rachel becomes overprotective of Elliot, never wanting to let him out of his sight. The new place certainly has character - the house is old, the people is foreign and it seems that the husband-wife relationships becomes more distant. Anthony being distant towards Elliot does not help with the current situation.

During an excursion at the new town, the family discover a wall believed to grant wishes and Elliot wishes - a secret wish that he only knows. Later at a welcome party, it seems that the community is welcoming but not not ready to talk to Rachel as she do not speak Finnish. There, Rachel meets Helen, the 'crackhead' of the town as she lose her husband. Helen tells Rachel that Elliot's wish is granted and it is not a happy wish. 

Rachel finds that Elliot's behaviour changes - he talks to an invisible person, he becomes aggressive towards her and her nightmare becomes worse. She even dreams of Nathan wanting to come back to the living world. 

Now she realises that the whole town is plotting with her husband's permission to exchange Elliot with Nathan. She believes the town is worshipping the Devil and Elliot will be sacrificed to allow Nathan to return.

Who will help Rachel in making sure no one hurts Elliot and her little family?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.5/ 5.0 I love how twisted the movie was. I thought I knew the premise, but I was far from right. 

Cast: 4.0/ 5.0 If the budget is higher, the script is better and the cast is of A-list, the film could be much better. Were they great? No.

Then, they were bad? No also. 

Will I Watch It Again: I have a mixed feeling - I most probably will but not in a very near future. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
