4.0 out of 5 starsOne of Hammer's finest
By mr-benn on 25 Sept. 2007
Format: DVD
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsGREAT BLU-RAY
By MADMAN TOP 500 REVIEWER on 24 Dec. 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Great Blu-ray, and for me one of the best hammer horror films. Peter cushing(legend) plays a fanatical puritan and leader of a witch hunting sect, and he is just amazing in his roll, this and Dracula 1972 are his best hammer films he has done, well for me anyway, but then again everything he did he put 100% in to it, he was truly great actor. I have seen most hammer Blu-ray releases and they are good, but this one has been the best so far the picture quality and sound is very good. The disc comes with some good features I have listed them below.

5.0 out of 5 starshammer horror twins
By Su TOP 100 REVIEWER on 31 Jan. 2012
Format: DVD
Peter Cushing stars as a witch hunter in this 1971 Hammer Horror movie.

Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing) is the leader of a group of men who, in Count Karnstein's own words "like to burn pretty girls". The reasons behind these dreadful actions can be anything from a young woman who has "refused to marry" (in other words she had the temerity to turn someone in the "committee" down) to living too close to someone who died.

Into this world of fear and intimidation arrive twins Maria and Frieda Gellhorn from their home in Vienna. Since their parents are now dead they must stay with the domineering Uncle and his down at heel wife, Katy (Kathleen Byron).

The village is dominated by Castle Karnstein where the reigning Count Karnstein (Damien Thomas) wishes to be as evil as his predecessors and calls on the Lord of Darkness to show him the way as he plunges a knife into a young helpless woman who has been provided by sycophant Dietrich (Dennis Price). As the blood runs down from the alter it falls a crack in the stone and onto the shrouded corpse below and his appeals to Satan are answered with the appearance of the long dead Countess Mircalla Karnstein (Katya Wyeth).

After a session of ancestral slap-and-tickle a vampire is born.

Twins of Evil doesn't just show the pack mentality of people (in this case the brotherhood men) when looking for something to kill, and the ease that the "righteous" have in justifying their own murders while condemning others, it also shows that identical twins aren't simply (almost) perfect copies of each other, but they have personalities of their own.Read more ›

Another classic Hammer moment from the 70's. One of the best of that era, boosted by another great performance from the legend that was Peter Cushing. Excellent and essential release, great looking Blu Ray with interesting extra features and a collectors booklet included. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Playmates & The Vampire
By Jeremy W. Newbould on 26 May 2010
Format: DVD
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW CONTAINS PLOT INFORMATION AND POTENTIAL SPOILERS.

"Twins Of Evil" (1971) is the third and arguably the best film of Hammer's "Karnstein" trilogy. Like "The Vampire Lovers" and "Lust For A Vampire", the first two films of the trilogy, "Twins Of Evil" was written by Tudor Gates (nice name) and produced by Harry Fine and Michael Style. The film certainly begins in fine style with a group of men on horses, all dressed in the same clobber (the men, not the horses), riding through the forest at night. These men are Puritans known as The Brotherhood and their leader is the fanatical Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing in top form). They are out in search of witches, Devil-worshippers and anyone else that they think has succumbed to the powers of darkness.

The Brotherhood tend to target sexy young women and they find one (a woodman's daughter) and then burn her at the stake because they believe that fire destroys the evil within and purifies the soul. The opening credits roll, accompanied by a rousing theme tune that perhaps would have been more suitable for a western, and we are then properly into the film....

Two beautiful, identical twin sisters (played by Playboy Playmates Mary and Madeleine Collinson), both wearing the same bright green outfits, arrive by coach in the village of Karnstein. They are called Maria and Frieda Gellhorn and Gustav Weil is their uncle. Maria (Mary Collinson) is basically a good girl but Frieda (Madeleine Collinson) has a wicked side to her nature. They have come to stay with Gustav and his wife, Katy (Kathleen Byron), following the death of their parents.Read more ›
