Watch The Other For Free

Better Late Then Never

best movie i've ever seen.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Love the Twins & Uta Hagen...great performances... I watch this movie every time I get.

This is a film I have never seen before and to be honest had never even heard of but is a beauty. At the start, with idyllic woodland scenes and boys at play, although the sun shines and the trees look magical, there is already something not quite right. Director, Robert Mulligan unsettles the viewer partly in traditional ways with uncanny sounds or sudden movements but there are also unusual camera zooms and pans that disconcert because the source and intention is unclear. Something is afoot that we do not understand. The film proceeds and initially seems a sunny, happy, extended family at work and play in a small community but the twins seem to have their own agenda. Maybe it is not all harmless fun. Uta Hagen is brilliant in a most important and central role but is her involvement with reference to the church and angels really so helpful? Oh, and people start dying.

Made back in 1972 this remastering by Eureka films does total justice to this film that never got the accolades it fully deserved. Set in the Connecticut summer of 1935 we meet twins Niles and Holland Perry. They live in an extended family but their mother seems to be dealing with some sort of mental breakdown. Their paternal grandmother has taught them a 'game' that she brought from her native Russia which seems to involve outer body experiences.Then a series of things start to happen around the farmstead and as the evidence starts to unfold it becomes clear to Niles that his twin is responsible - even though he really knows that Holland does not mean to be bad. What unfolds is a chilling game of life and death.This is one of those films that will get the hair on the back of your neck to rise – for all the right reasons. Played absolutely straight by a stellar cast this is just quietly horrific; but it is all done in good taste. It has aged really well and has extremely high production values with a story that will hold you right until the end. It is also so well done that you would have no problems watching it again – which is quite rare in such a genre of film making. If you have never come across this one before then you have a treat waiting for you – absolutely recommended.

If you want a horror film that relies on a good, suspenseful story rather than blood, violence, and outrageously loud jump scares, then this a film you cannot afford to miss. While this film isn't particularly scary, it has enough mystery and imagination that it manages to be captivating all the way through. The story is highly imaginative and thoroughly interesting. The characters were interesting and likable. I really cared about the characters and what happened to them and for me that is the key to making a good movie. If I don't care about the characters, I won't care what happens in the story, and if I don't care what happens in the story I won't care for the film. Many horror movies make the mistake of having the characters exist only to be killed in bizarre ways, but the characters in this movie were well thought out and felt like real people with real personalities. Uta Hagen, Martin Udvarnoky, and Chris Udvarnoky gave the best performances in the film. Their performances are unforgettable and they bring their own qualities to the characters that make them feel that much more authentic.Many people would likely find this film boring because they are used to horror films with grotesque looking monsters jumping out of dark corners, and madmen butchering people with large weapons. But this film isn't like those at all. It is sophisticated, intellectual, and requires the viewer to think; something so few horror films today do. It is unique and unlike any other horror film I've seen and because of that it is one of my absolute favorites.
