Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

glowinthedarkscars viewing in glorious black and white will make all the difference. The story is pretty straight forward as far as vampire/devil worship/witch hunt movies go, but the execution of this simple tale is outstanding on every other level..the acting, the wardrobe, cinema photography were all top notch. Warning! This film has sinful devil worshiping, bloodletting, human sacrifices, young nubile witch burnings, head decapitation, and plenty of heaving bosoms.

NDbportmanfan Twins of Evil is about two sisters who have to go live with their aunt and uncle after their father past away. The uncle however is the leader of the church and the head of the witch burning council. Neither of the girls approve of this treatment and protest in their own way. If it wasn't for my desire to see if Gustav gets what is coming to him I might have just turned the movie off. None of the other characters are really that interesting to say the least. I think the movie used every twin cliché imaginable which was annoying. The villain was weak and not very intimating, while his lacky was pretty awesome until one scene that I will not say. You will know it when you see it, for 1972 it is pretty sad as they didn't need to include it. I think the film is held in high standing mainly due to the casting decisions. The IMDb rating is more accurate. The film is okay, not bad like some of the other Hammer films but just middle of the road on the very long list.

Leofwine_draca TWINS OF EVIL is the third and final of Hammer's Karnstein trilogy and it has the most interesting storyline of all three. That's because the film combines two successful sub-genres of horror, the witch-burning film and the vampire movie. The two subjects don't necessarily go hand in hand so it's remarkable at just how successfully they combine here.The movie is headlined by Peter Cushing in one of his most villainous performances as a witch hunter who'd give Matthew Hopkins a run for his money. Cushing spends half the movie burning innocent girls alive and the other half being a general fiend and antagonist, and what's really special is that Cushing still finds the spark of humanity deep within his character. You hate him, but a small part of you admires him despite his actions.The Karnstein plodding is familiar stuff, with Damien Thomas an acceptable if unremarkable villain; the stuff with the twins, Mary and Madeleine Collinson, is less interesting (they weren't cast for their acting talents, after all) but they don't have an overwhelming amount of screen time. David Warbeck has a nice role as a youthful hero. As usual, TWINS OF EVIL wins out thanks to the sumptuous production values, even at this late stage of the Hammer game; the film is a visual treat of cobwebby castles, ruined graveyards, and haunted crypts, contrasting with the general bucolic charm of the period.

poe426 TWINS OF EVIL boasts two of Hammer's greatest assets (who each boast an impressive set of assets), as well as Peter Cushing as their repressed witch-hunting uncle. Although his charges (orphans, we're told) are both prone to walking around in what amount to little more than nightgowns, uncle Gustav spends most of his time scouring the countryside for "loose" women to burn at the stake. The implication that he's sexually repressed and is taking his pent-up frustrations out on the local vixens is obvious. For Hammer Film fans, TWINS OF EVIL also shows us how the infamous Count Karnstein crossed over to the Other Side: he's bitten by the comely Carmilla- called "Mircalla," here. The lovelies who play the twins are both good actresses, which goes along way toward making TWINS OF EVIL one of Hammer's best.
