Review – The Other

Taut, suspenseful psychological horror or just a really boring movie? You decide. The first time I saw this I was eight or nine years old, so I didn’t pick up on the movie’s twist until Uta Hagen came right out and told us what it was. Upon more recent viewing, the catch seems as obvious as a trick from an old Twilight Zone episode. That aside, this is the laconically-paced tale of a boy and his evil twin, a twin whose evil-ness is established over again so often that it becomes as tedious as it is creepy. Overall this is a solid production, but you have to be in the mood for it before it’s going to work for you. Mildly amusing
