4.0 out of 5 stars One of Hammer's finest, 25 Sep 2007
By mr-benn (England) - See all my reviews
Ahh... 'Twins of Evil.' This film will always be dear to me. Growing up in the late 80's/early 90's, still too young to rent any Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th videos, most of the horror movies I had easy access to were the late-night Hammer Horrors on ITV. Most of interest were the almost innumerable vampire movies the studio produced, from the greats ('Horror of Dracula') to the not-so greats ('Dracula AD 1972'). Yet somehow, in my formative years, no film stayed with me as much as 'Twins of Evil.'

No small part of the appeal are the delectable Collinson twins as Maria and Frida, orphaned Italians sent to live with their tyranical uncle (yet another star turn from the great Peter Cushing). This was, of course, early 70's Hammer, when the technicolour gore of old was supplemented with the thrill of a bit of sultry female flesh - the film was indeed designed with the Collinsons in mind, fresh from their breakthrough as Playboy's first double centrefold! That said, by modern standards the sexual content is fairly tame: there are only a few brief moments of nudity, but heaving corsetted bosoms aplenty, and a deluge of suggestive imagery - witness the hand that strokes the candlestick, and the way Frida's eyes light up at the words "stripped naked!"

The cheap and cheerful atmosphere that Hammer movies are famed for is here in full force, with lots of blatant day-for-night photography, flimsy sets and primitive special effects. This, of course, is all part of what makes these films so endearing - but it shouldn't be taken to mean the power to shock is not there. A scene of human sacrifice and a phenomal decapitation can still get a jump out of the viewer today.

Those new to Hammer could find worse places to start; those who love Hammer will be in their element. Buy it now! Or I'll be sending Gustav and the boys around.

4.0 out of 5 stars Witchfinder meets Van Helsing, 2 Mar 2008
By Kenneth Lewis "Re-Animator" (UK Liverpool) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Twins of Evil is the last and by far the best of the hammer Le-Fanu vampire trilogy the other two being Vampire Lovers and Lust for a Vampire. Twins of Evil ditches the male lesbian fantasy of the other two films and gives us a good old fashioned gothic horror with a twist. What I like about twins of evil (besides the very pretty twins) is Peter Cushings character. He is a witchfinder who just happens to have actually found someone evil in the evil Baron.Unlike Van Helsing he is not careful or considered he just rushes in to kill anyone he judges as evil.

The plot two pretty twins go to stay with their uncle(Cushing) who has a hobby which consists of dressing up and hunting down and burning evil doers (mostly young single women). He is however unable to act against the brash baron (damien thomas) because he has friend in high places. The Baron grows board with his debauched ways and decides to sacrifice himself to become a vampire. He then sets his sights on the beautiful twins one is eager one isnt which is which? Another fine mess for mr Cushing to sort out. The film is quite well done with some tense moments and an excellent atmosphere. Some good ideas to one I like is that you cant become a vampire unless you are evil if you are good and bitten by a vampire you just die mores the pity!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sadly, we're still waiting for a North American release., 5 Jun 2009
By Bill F. Armitage (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sadly, we're still waiting for a North American release of Twins of Evil. One of Hammers best IMHO. I don't know who has the rights to this (or Vampire Circus) but they've got to put together a NTSC version.
