So far, most people agree that The Twin’s attempts to subvert expectations do not nearly have the intended effect. While not trying to spoil anything, let’s just say the Midsommar comparisons end up being all too apparent, and the evil child trope that carries the initial route of the film is too tried to sustain its push to the surprising end. With a few jump scares and some atmosphere, it’s not a complete failure in a vacuum setting. However, any avid or even casual horror viewer can’t help but compare The Twin to so many better films that it copies. Nearly everyone points to the director Taneli Mustonen’s other film, Lake Bodom, as a much better alternative.
Rating: 3/10
