Mustonen’s attempts to subvert familiar tropes and clichés are over reliant on an ending that doesn’t entirely feel earned, wholly undermining its characters. It's all fakouts, devoid of scares. Go to Full Review

The Twin is basically Midsommar meets The Boy, and yet not as fun as that mash-up might imply. Go to Full Review

The sign of a good plot twist is that it still makes sense in reverse; that's not exactly the case in this psychological horror tale, but it gets bonus points for strong characters and performances. Go to Full Review
Cheryl Eddy io9.com 09/14/2022
The direction the plot takes in its final act isn’t quite satisfying enough to justify pulling the rug out from beneath the entire film that came before...but it certainly sets The Twin apart from the many other films also built from similar DNA strands. Go to Full Review

The Twin offers a horror film that doesn't succumb to the obvious. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Stephen G. @patient1 Nov 27 Not going to lie, started this film due to Teresa Palmer being in it. We open with heartache and familial suffering, and I'm not sure of the trains at this point. We've a new female character, and she is a real pip, if I say so myself. There is Evil song into the air this family breathes, it appears this is developing into a folklore tale. Vile wickedness is an understatement, such horrendous behavior. The needle pushed in and the mind waivers, is up still up or is it out and not even down. Such a Deliciously Wicked Tale, that was Masterfully Executed, that Never slowed the story developing. See more Roberto R Sep 17 The movie is terribly boring, annoying and extremely too long. It's a terrible waste of your time. See more Claudio C Jul 30 The Twin (2022) Underrated Movie about Insanity (11,863 – 29 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) While driving in the countryside of New York, Rachel Doyle (Teresa Palmer), her husband Anthony Doyle (Steven Cree) and Nathan (Tristan Ruggeri) have a car accident and Nathan dies. Some time later, Rachel and Anthony and the twin Elliot travel to Anthony’s hometown in Finland to have a fresh restart. The locals prepare a reception for Rachel and Anthony but treat her coldly. The middle-aged widow Helen (Barbara Marten), who is considered crazy by the residents, talks to Rachel and explains that the locals are pagan, and Elliot made a wish in a sacred stone that was granted. Now a demon wants Elliot’s soul. Anthony does not talk to Elliot, who suddenly tells Rachel that he is Nathan. What is happening to the family? “The Twin” (2022) is an underrated movie about insanity, with a very intelligent story and smart screenplay. The plot in some moment recalls “Spellbinder” (1988) “Midsommar” (2019), “The Omen” and “Rosemery’s Baby”. But the great actress Teresa Palmer surprises again, like in “Restraint” (2008), with two great twists in the ending. Her amazing performance gives credibility to the story of a grieving woman who uses her imagination to proceed her life and learns the truth in the end. Maybe viewers have not understood the story, who knows? Or maybe the distributors used a wrong approach, like in the ridiculous Brazilian title. The last scene is probably the best moment in the story and confirms Anthony’s explanation. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): “Gêmeo Maligno” (“Malign Twin”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more BRizz 2 @TheMovieSearch Jul 2 The Twin, released in 2022, attempts to deliver a psychological horror experience centered around a grieving family—but unfortunately, it falls short on nearly every level. Much like the underwhelming horror film The Boy, this movie struggles to find its footing and fails to stand on its own two feet. The direction feels unfocused, as though the filmmakers weren’t quite sure what kind of story they were trying to tell. This lack of narrative clarity bleeds into the screenplay, which ultimately feels disjointed and poorly paced. Key story beats lack cohesion, and any tension that’s built is quickly undercut by uneven writing and misplaced dramatic turns. The cast, while clearly committed, comes across as emotionally distant and inconsistent. Their performances often leave the audience unsure of how to connect with—or feel about—the characters, which makes it hard to stay invested. By the time the film reaches its ending, the story has unraveled so much that the conclusion feels misaligned with everything that came before it. Rather than delivering a chilling twist or emotional payoff, the final act only adds to the confusion. Verdict: A muddled script, unclear direction, and inconsistent performances make The Twin a forgettable and ineffective horror entry. A promising premise that ultimately goes nowhere.

I suffered a significant setback in my business after foolishly putting all my faith in a crypto platform I was completely unfamiliar with. I was tricked into investing in what seemed like shares of tech giants like Meta platforms and Tesla. I later discovered it was all a fraud and a Ponzi scheme, with the quick help of a hacker specialized in crypto asset recovery, I was able to get my stolen funds back.
