Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The Man Who Haunts Himself maintains interest throughout with its intriguing storyline, although the final moments avoid the perfect ending for one that's slightly less satisfying. Rated: 3/4 Jun 1, 2019 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl Everyone is British to the hilt, to the point where you may suspect (as do I) that Dearden is having a bit of fun at his countrymen's expense...

delysid d this movie is pretty dry but its actually a trippy film loved the ending Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/07/19 Full Review Audience Member Intriguing but ultimately disappointing mystery with a resolution that barely explains the 90 minutes that precedes it. The pace is controlled reasonably well and the film creates a good sense of mystery, but it would have been better suited to an episode of the Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents which are its obvious influences. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member 1/2 ud af 5 dobbeltgængere. Der er intet pænt at sige om denne film, som Roger Moore selv mente var hans bedste, og det skal nok passe. Fuldstændig idiotisk historie uden nogen forklaring og Moore-øjenbryn rynket på mindst tre forskellige måder. Fik den oven i købet anbefalet af en ven! Tak for lort, siger jeg bare. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Three stars simply because I think it is Roger Moore's finest dramatic role. Following a car accident, a man is shadowed by his more sinister doppleganger. It is not a spectacular film by any means but the Jeckyll and Hyde duality of persona is handled very convincingly by Moore. The actor of course, went on to become the James Bond of the 70s and is still the most suave incarnation of the superspy. If only he had done more films like this though. His dramatic chops would have been better appreciated. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Roger Moore gets to flex his acting chops a lot more than usual in this quite intriguing (for the time at least) psychological thriller that has Roger playing two parts. In one scene he gets to walk around himself on screen which must have been a difficult effect to achieve in the early 70s. It's by no means an A grade movie but it certainly does what it set out to do very competently. Worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Three stars simply because I think it is Roger Moore's finest dramatic role. Following a car accident, a man is shadowed by his more sinister doppleganger.
