Seconds Apart (2011)
7/10
Double trouble.
13 October 2013
The Siamese twins and the pair of pinheads from Freaks; Basket Case's Belial and Duane; the vampire babes from Twins of Evil; the ghostly girls from The Shining; the sisters from Brian De Palma's Sisters; the gynaecologists from Dead Ringers: just some of the creepy twins to have chilled the blood of horror fans over the years.

Jonah and Seth (Edmund and Gary Entin), the telekinetic brothers from Seconds Apart, might not be quite in the same league as these horror heavyweights, but as the stars of an After Dark production that I purchased from Poundland, they did a surprisingly decent job in creeping me out, causing plenty of death and destruction in what proves to be a rather stylish and reasonably scary movie.

Seconds Apart starts with a bang (literally), and despite the script occasionally entering clichéd territory (girl sleeping with the wrong twin), director Antonio Negret keeps the pace going and achieves some inspired visuals and credible performances from his cast, with Orlando Jones deserving a special mention for his impressive turn as a cop with a tragic past (and another for Samantha Droke, simply for looking hot).
