Review of Seconds Apart (2011) by Orlok W — 04 Mar 2013
"After Dark" is an American horror distributor who run the annual After Dark Horrorfest, one of the worlds biggest horror film festivals. As well as their distribution department they also team up with Lionsgate & SyFy to release 'After Dark Originals'.
These are modest films with an average budget of $1M and they're comparable to the Masters Of Horror series, only feature length. I've been working my way through them recently and will gradually post reviews.
'Seconds Apart' is an impressive supernatural chiller about twin brothers who possess a strong telepathic connection. Every aspect of their lives is in sync, from hairstyle to their school bags.
.. they even sleep in the same bed. With their power they embark on a grisly murder spree as an experiment to push their power to its limit. Orlando Jones stars as a homicide detective on the case who suspects the twins but becomes a pawn in their macabre game.
This is a great looking and stylised film that is genuinely creepy and the screen presence of these brothers is actually unnerving. They remind me of Damien from The Omen (x2) and even bare a resemblance.
If you haven't watched any of the After Dark Originals, this is a reasonable place to start. The opening sequence is pretty cool too.
