CRONENBERG AND IRONS AT THEIR BEST


Good horror movies are the ones that mimic the reality as much as possible and the best ones are those that have their base dug deep into the psychology.

„Dead Ringers” is one of those flicks, giving us the truly twisted story about the identical twins that share their business and private life seemingly without remorse.

Jeremy Irons portrays both characters with a terrifying ease as the script takes the similar dive into the disturbing world of true pathology and perversion, climaxing in a saddening end.

„Dead Ringers” is the best Cronenberg’s flick and the best role Jeremy Irons played in his career.

PLAIN GARBAGE


Movie stories with merging human and animal genome can never work, whether it is about a spider-man or the fly-man.

Merging the nonmergable won’t be made more convincing neither by the stellar crew (Goldblum, Davis) nor by the solid director (Cronenberg). Trashy special effects will only contribute to the overall tragicomedy of the entire flick.

„The Fly” is one of movies that was out of date at the very moment it emerged and still remains so.
