The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Good horror movies are the ones that mimic the reality as much as possible and the best ones are those that have their base dug into the psychology. ''Dead Ringers" is one of those flicks, giving us the truly twisted story about the identical twins that share their business and private life seemingly without remorse. Jeremy Irons portrays both characters with a terrifying ease as the script takes the similar dive into the world of true pathology and perversion, climaxing in a saddening end. ''Dead Ringers" is the best Cronenberg's flick and the role Jeremy Irons played in his career.

This film is highlighted by its dark temperament, an excellent Jeremy Irons and also a very good Bujold, and a grand finale totally in the momentum of the film that does not let down.The atmosphere is cold, suffocating and degenerative; all the while holding a certain beauty at its core, and being darkly poetic.The dialog is good, the sort that has hidden meaning.The film seems to always make references to concealed symbols, and is not a mere execution of its narrative. There's meaning, interpretation.As criticism, one could feel this film was not interactive enough and self-complacent in how much talk it contains; like it is an inevitable realization of its somewhat predictable storyline. Furthermore, the answer at the end doesn't seem to be as clear: how far does the metaphor go ?

I have seen some creepy movies in my life but this gave me goosebumps. Two brothers, looking alike, acting alike and living their life in a pattern, which is off course alike. Dead ringers deals with the effect these twin brothers had on each other's life. It surely is a nice movie to a point, not a very entertaining though. We can say that a good story and acting almost covers for the entertainment factor also. Jeremy Irons has done a great job as both Beverly and Elliot. Dead ringers is a watchable movie, if you do not get frightened by new concepts which are little different and deals with characters who are not your typical nice guy, good girl type but have very dark, sinister secrets.

Dead RingersThe easiest way to tell twins apart is to horribly scar one of them across the cheek.And while incisions are central to this psychological thriller, professional doctors perform them all.Twin Torontonian gynecologists, Beverly and Elliot Mantle (Jeremy Irons), have made a name for themselves fixing female fertility problems.When an infertile and drug-addled actress, Claire (Geneviève Bujold) asks for their assistance, Elliot encourages his reserved brother to seduce her.But their relationship is jeopardized when she learns that Elliot has been impersonating his brother to have sex with her.Meanwhile, Beverly has sunk into a delusional world where he is haunted by disfigured female organs.Adapted from the book by Canadian director David Cronenberg, Dead Ringers delivers two outstanding performances from Irons, along with eerie imagery and an enigmatic ending that will leave heads scratching.Unfortunately, identical twin gynecologists mean you're gonna have four hands up your vagina.Green Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
