Supernatural horror about a pair of teenage twin brothers with a deadly secret power. When a group of high school jocks play a game of Russian roulette that leaves them all dead, Detective Lampkin (Orlando Jones) suspects that teen twin outcasts Seth and Jonah (Gary and Edmund Entin) had a hand in this strange 'mass suicide'. But as Lampkin gets closer to the truth, Seth and Jonah's close bond becomes fatally severed by Jonah's growing affection for new girl Eve (Samantha Droke), and all hell breaks loose as the twins start to lose their grip on their formidable powers.

This is a film in the horror genre. It takes, as its subject, twin brothers Seth and Jonah, who have the ability of telekinesis or as it is sometimes referred `psychokinesis' . This is the ability to control physical matter by the exertion of brain power, put simply they can make stuff happen.
The film opens with a house party where some of the jocks are upstairs playing Russian Roulette, the only object of the game being to absolutely positively kill everyone. The twins are recording the whole thing on video camera, and then the titles roll. Yep it gets to the blood splats before the credits have finished.
The twins played eerily and brilliantly by brothers Edmund and Gary Entin, do everything alike. They dress act, talk and even sleep together (in the same bed that is). They let us know from the start that they are working on a project, that involves getting a certain feeling - hence the repeated question, `can you feel it?'.
The cops are soon involved and the main investigator is Orlando Jones (Evolution etc). He knows they have something to do with it, but can not find any evidence. What does become obvious is that they are at their most dangerous when they are together. Then a new girl turns up and hits it off with one of the brothers. That is when the older (by a few seconds) starts to realise his ordered world is under threat.
Orlando Jones tells his story by flash backs and we realise he has more than his share of demons too.
This is a well crafted, acted and directed (Antonio Negret) teen horror. It is more psychological than blood and gore. It is only 91 minutes long and is well paced for all of it, and comes across as being quite believable. It has the obligatory twists, but it will keep you guessing. If psycho, horror is your thing this will definitely tick your boxes.

Plot. Sam and Jonah are twins with an ability for telekenisis. They use it to kill their fellow students.
This is a psychological thrilller with horror overtones. A policeman investigating the apparent suicides which are very brutal starts to look at the possible involvement by the twins. We see the boys using their power but they need to be holding hands to be able to channel their power. Things begin to change when one of them is attracted to a girl. There are some very nice graphic visuals of disturbing scenes with a little blood on show but it's not too gory. It's a well acted film that was well written and dialogue is pretty good. Enjoyed it a lot.
The USA Region 1 release has a commentary that's interesting and not featured on this UK release.

In case you don't know, Afterdark are a film company who make horror movies. These films normally consist of six stupid teenagers getting stranded somewhere then getting eaten by a monster/a cannibal/a ghost - take your pick. In short, Afterdark films are those you only watch if you're really not expecting too much.
However, with `Seconds Apart' I think they might have finally got one right!
I remember there were two twins at my old school. They were skinny little boys with squeaky voices and they got bullied. However, in Seconds Apart, you really shouldn't pick on twins Seth and Jonah - they have telepathic powers and they ain't afraid to use them!
Seth and Jonah, played by real life twins, are genuinely creepy as they set about their evil ways. The story plays out a bit like a slightly extended X-file, only without Scully and Mulder. Instead, we have a cop (seemingly the ONLY cop in the town who is allowed to drink on duty and slap a child in a crowded school dining hall and get away with it) who, upon finding suicide victims, automatically suspects locals twins because of a suspicion that they might have telepathic powers (good call, huh?). But that can be forgiven on account that the story is pretty good. I won't say too much as there are even some things that you might not see coming.
All I'll say is... if you see a pair of twins holding hands near you - RUN!
WARNING: I think it's also fair to point out that this film has a scene where two people OVER the age of forty kiss (that was possibly the most horrific part for me).
