About this product

Product Information

This dark, eerie, multi-layered drama may stand as Cronenberg's masterpiece. The film is loosely based on the true case of the Marcus Twins and the novel about them, TWINS by Bari Wood. The Mantle brothers, Beverly and Elliot, are brilliant gynecologists with an upscale Toronto practice. Elliot is charismatic and outgoing, Beverly is shy and hard-working; emotionally inseparable, the brothers function like psychological Siamese twins. They share everything, including women, until Beverly--the weaker of the two--falls in love with a neurotic, drug addicted, actress. Forced to separate from his brother for the first time, Beverly becomes hooked on drugs and suffers a complete mental breakdown. Elliot, unable to exist independently of his twin, soon joins Beverly in a nightmarish descent into madness and self-destruction. Irons plays the brothers (achieved with seamless camera trickery), whose award winning research in gynecology has brought them international acclaim. Wholly original and uniquely disturbing, it could have been made by an alien, providing he had David Cronenberg's healthy disregard for commercial cinema and a unique sense of the human condition.

One of Cronenberg's Better Movies
It's not as disgusting as "The Fly," nor as disturbing or profound as "Videodrome," but "Dead Ringers" is still nicely cringey, right on the border of a dark drama and "mad scientist" sci-fi. Cronenberg said that his challenge in this movie was to use twins, not as freaks or in any other gimmicky, typical Hollywood way, but just as regular people. He succeeds handily and sends one of them right over the edge. Also includes some very Cronenberg body horror themes such as mutation.It's not as disgusting as "The Fly," nor as disturbing or profound as "Videodrome," but "Dead Ringers" is still nicely cringey, right on the border of a dark drama and "mad scientist" sci-fi.

A dark and chilling psychological drama.
I had seen this movie many years ago and thought it extremely well done. Hard to find nowadays (even though it's on "The Criterion's Collection" list. The synopsis from Criterion: Dead Ringers, Canadian film, a psychological thriller about twin gynecologists who gradually descend into madness, that is considered one of director David Cronenberg’s best films. Regarded by many as one of the best horror movies ever made, it won 10 Genie Awards from the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television—including best picture, director, lead actor, and adapted screenplay—and was named one of the Top 10 Canadian films of all time in polls conducted by the Toronto International Film Festival in 2004 and 2015.I had seen this movie many years ago and thought it extremely well done.

Cronenberg at his finest
Very underrated film by David Cronenberg, Dead Ringers has a bizarre story surrounding a strange pair of twin surgeons. Jeremy Irons is brilliant, before he became a household name. If you like suspense and drama, you'll like this movie.
