Let Her Out Unrated

Let Her Out follows Helen, who, after a traumatic accident, discovers a brain tumor triggering hallucinations and disturbing experiences. As her mental state deteriorates, she confronts unsettling visions and behaviors, blurring the line between reality and her inner turmoil. This psychological horror explores themes of identity and self-control.

Director Cody Calahan Release Date August 25, 2016 Cast Nina Kiri , Alanna LeVierge , Adam Christie , Kate Fenton , Michael Lipka , Brooke Henderson , Glen Reid , Deborah Jayne Reilly Smith , Rachel Sellan Runtime 89 minutes

2016’s Let Her Out is relatively unique among great horror movies with twins in. Rather than featuring a creepy set of identical twins, director Cody Callahan’s body horror has only one twin being the source of the fear and danger, with the other being the victim. Let Her Out follows many tropes of demonic possession movies, and is about a twin killed in utero reaching out to take control of the body of its surviving sibling.

Alanna LeVierge stars as Helen in Let Her Out, a courier experiencing strange borderline paranormal phenomena after an accident. She learns that the presence invading her mind isn’t a demonic entity, but the twin sister who died pre-birth due to Helen’s mom stabbing herself in the stomach while pregnant. Let Her Out features some great gruesome body transformation sequences, plenty of slasher flick-like kills, and some unsettling moments between Helen and her reflection (reminiscent of director Alexandre Anje’s 2008 horror Mirrors).

While the twins aren’t necessarily the source of the creepy horror in Flowers in the Attic, they’re still at the center of many disturbing goings on. While Flowers in the Attic might not utilize twins in quite the same way as many other films in the subgenre, it still stands out as an incredibly solid movie. It has more than its fair share of unsettling moments throughout, and though it may not be the most visceral or jump-scare-filled horror movie with twins in, Flowers in the Attic is undeniably one of the most memorable.

The Dark Half R

The Dark Half is a psychological horror film directed by George A. Romero, based on Stephen King’s novel. The story follows Thad Beaumont, a successful author who decides to kill off his pseudonym, George Stark, only to find his darker half coming to life and committing a series of brutal murders. Timothy Hutton stars in the dual roles of Thad Beaumont and George Stark. Released in 1993, the film explores themes of identity and the duality of human nature.

The Dark Half may be a lesser-known Stephen King adaptation, but the 1993 horror from legendary zombie movie director George A. Romero features an incredibly creepy set of twins. Based on Stephen King’s 1989 novel of the same name, The Dark Half focuses on Thad Beaumont and George Stark (both played by Timothy Hutton). It’s an interesting take on many tropes in the best horror movies with twins, as Thad and George aren’t siblings. Rather, George is a dark alter-ego of Thad, one who develops his own body to cause carnage in the real world.

Thad Beaumont is a novelist in The Dark Half, and it’s through his depictions of George Stark in his books that his sinister psychic twin is able to manifest outside the page. It’s one of the most philosophical and thematically deep horror movies about twins, and Timothy Hutton’s performance as both Thad and Beaumont ensures there’s no doubt about Thad and George being distinct characters.

Director Jason Zada’s The Forest sees Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer playing identical twins Sara and Jess. The plot focuses on Japan’s Aokighara forest, known for being a popular place to commit suicide. Jess has gone missing in the forest, so Sara travels to Japan to track down her missing twin sister. As The Forest progresses, it becomes clear the pair share a psychic link, and it’s here that the twins in The Forest become one of the best sets of identical siblings in modern horror movies.

While Sara and Jess aren’t necessarily creepy in their own behavior, the way that the spirits in the 2016 ghost horror movie manipulate the twins and plays off of the fact they’re identical definitely is. As far as pace is concerned, The Forest is a slow burner among the best horror movies with twins in go, and it leans more into building a slow dread than jump cares. Director Jason Zada’s cinematography skills deserve mention too, as The Forest features some incredible location shots of the Aokighara landscape.

Twins of Evil R

Twins of Evil is a 1971 Hammer Horror film centered on Count Karstein’s vampiric initiation by resurrecting Mircalla Karnstein. As deaths plague the village, Puritan leader Gustav hunts the occult threat, entangling his twin nieces, Maria and Frieda, in the battle between innocence and malevolent forces.

Director John Hough Release Date October 3, 1971 Cast Dennis Price , Peter Cushing , Madeleine Collinson , Mary Collinson , Isobel Black , Kathleen Byron , Shelagh Wilcocks , Damien Thomas , David Warbeck , Harvey Hall , Alex Scott , Judy Matheson , Luan Peters , Katya Wyeth , Maggie Wright , Inigo Jackson , Roy Stewart , Peter Thompson , Kirsten Lindholm , George Claydon , Janet Lynn Runtime 87 minutes Expand

The films from British studio Hammer Horror are incredibly influential, and dominated the horror movie market in the mid 20th century. One of the great horror movies with twins in from the studio was 1971’s Twins of Evil, which starred sisters Mary and Madeline Collinson as Maria and Frieda Gellhorn. The fact that Twins of Evil was also known as Twins of Dracula gives away the plot and tone. Vampires feature heavily, and the twins are central to the story.

As far as the tone goes, Twins of Evil contains everything viewers would expect from a 1970s horror film. There are some incredible sequences, and the nostalgia factor is, like almost every release from Hammer Horror, incredibly strong. The best evil twin moments come when Frieda begins giving into the temptations of vampirism, and the performances of the Collinson sisters and Peter Cushing of Star Wars fame more than make this underrated gem worth visiting.

Both are filled with well-timed jump scares. The visuals that come with the hauntings are also highly regarded by many horror movie fans, and there are plenty of memorable moments that come with the malevolent curse haunting the Collins family. While the 2012 original is a solid horror film in its own right, it’s Sinister 2 that will interest those looking for films with creepy twins.

When it comes to creepy horror movie twins, it’s Sinister 2 that ranks among the best in the subgenre. Robert Daniel Sloan and Dartanian Sloan play identical twin brothers Zach and Dylan Collins. The 2015 film pits the twins against one another, with Zach becoming possessed and actively trying to kill his sibling as well as their parents. The real-life twins deliver an incredibly solid performance as Zach and Dylan, though Sinister 2 overall wasn’t well received by critics when it was released.

Directors Jen and Sylvia Soska cameo in the movie as two demonic twins from Berlin. The twins in American Mary are incredibly creepy, especially with their obsessive fascination with both body modification and with one another.

American Mary is extreme, and much of the content is incredibly disturbing, though depicted so well with prosthetic effects that the response from critics was, by and large, positive. It’s definitely not a horror movie with twins in for the faint of heart, but those who appreciate gore and adult themes will find American Mary an incredible ride. It’s the definition of gross-out body horror, and it has some interesting commentary on society’s obsession with body image too.

Seconds Apart R

Seconds Apart is a psychological horror film featuring twins Seth and Jonah, who possess telekinetic powers. As mysterious deaths plague their school, the brothers’ bond deteriorates under the strain of jealousy and mistrust, culminating in a fateful confrontation. The film explores themes of power, sibling rivalry, and moral ambiguity.

Telepathy is a feature of many horror movies with twins in, as the idea of identical siblings sharing a psychic link is unnerving in and of itself. However, few manage to make twins who can read one another’s thoughts quite as harrowing as seconds apart. Directed by Antonia Negret, 2011’s Seconds Apart features Edmund and Gary Entin as Jonah and Seth Trimble. Throughout the movie, Jonah and Seth go on a violent rampage, torturing and killing multiple members of their town.

Director Brian De Palma’s Sisters is one of several horror movies that focuses on formerly conjoined twins. The 1972 film is a classic tale of an evil twin tormenting the other, though it does many of the tropes of this set-up incredibly well. It also has some thematic depth to go along with its violence and murder-mystery narrative, as it explores the nature of obsession, possessiveness, and jealousy.

Margot Kidder plays both twins in Sisters, taking up the roles of both Danielle and Dominique Blanchion. Danielle and Dominique were conjoined until they were successfully separated with surgery. Danielle wants to move on and have her own life, but Dominique refuses to live a life where she and Danielle aren’t the center of one another’s world.

It’s one of the several horror movies that feature conjoined siblings, though few others have an evil twin that looks quite as striking as Basket Case’s Belial. Basket Case has an incredible amount of nostalgia factor when it comes to the unique style of special effects that 1980s horror movies had.

The plot focuses on Duane Bradley (Kevin Van Hentenryck), who keeps the malformed conjoined twin he was separated from, Belial, in a wicker basket. The pair share a psychic link, and spend the movie going on a revenge rampage against the surgeons who separated them. Basket Case wasn’t received incredibly well by critics when it was released in 1982, it’s retrospectively come to be regarded as a great example of the ingenuity and innovativeness of 1980s horror.

2022’s The Twin is another great horror movie with twins that sees the spirit of a deceased sibling return to seek vengeance against the one that survived. Directed by Taneli Mustonon, who also co-wrote the script, twins Elliot and Nathan are both played by child actor Tristan Ruggeri. While it’s Elliot who’s deceased, Nathan can be just as creepy in his own way. The Twin does a great job at utilizing the fact that their mother, Rachel (Teresa Palmer), is terrorized by a spirit that looks identical to her son as a source of terror, too.

However, where The Twin really shines among the best horror movies about evil twins is in the twists and turns in its plot. While there are plenty of visuals reminiscent of supernatural scary films and demonic possession stories, it is at its core a psychological horror. The ending of The Twin contains some truly jaw-dropping reveals, perfectly paying off the suspense-filled descent of Rachel as her world unravels.

Blood Rage is a textbook evil twin movie, with the 1987 slasher in many ways laying the blueprint for how the classic set-up would be approached by later films. The story sees Mark Soper as identical twins Todd and Terry Simmons, and is relatively straightforward – Todd and his mom are stalked by Terry after the evil sibling escapes a psychiatric institution. It’s undeniably simple, though this doesn’t stop Blood Rage from being an intense and thrill-filled watch.

Soper does an excellent job at portraying both Todd and Terry, distinguishing them as characters and fully leaning into the eccentricities present in both. There’s also plenty of comedy to be found in Blood Rage too, and it’s a strong example of the somewhat lighthearted slasher films of the late 1980s and early 1990s that inspired the likes of Scream. However, where Blood Rage really stands out are the practical effects present with each of the 1987 film’s many kills.

Elias and Lukas try escaping their home, and eventually take their mother hostage. This all culminates in a jaw-dropping and surprisingly heartwrenching final twist at the end of Goodnight Mommy, and this combined with the performances of Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti make it one of the greatest horror movie about creepy twins.

Malignant is one of the most unique uses of twins in any horror movie, as the possession horror focuses on a woman possessed by the mind of her only partially formed twin brother, who exists as a tumor in her skull. The 2021 movie comes from legendary horror director James Wan, and is just as bizarre as the premise suggests. However, Malignant uses its core concept incredibly well, leading to plenty of disturbing supernatural horror visuals.

Annabelle Wallis also does a great job leading the Malignant cast as Emily, the surviving sibling. Ray Chase provides the voice of Gabriel, and the ways the parasitic twin can disrupt Emily’s life are inventive and disturbing. There are also plenty of strong psychological elements as Emily begins the realize the murders she has visions of at the start of Malignant are actually happening.

9/10 House of Wax R

House of Wax is a horror thriller directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, and Paris Hilton. The plot revolves around a group of friends who discover a house filled with wax figures that may be extremely realistic for an unnerving reason. The 2005 slasher is a remake of the 1953 horror film of the same name.

Director Jaume Collet-Serra Release Date May 6, 2005 Cast Brian Van Holt , Paris Hilton , Elisha Cuthbert , Chad Michael Murray , Jared Padalecki Runtime 113 minutes

2005’s House Of Wax has gone on to become a cult gem despite how negatively it was responded to by critics at the time. Audiences, however, fell in love with Jaume Collet-Serra’s unique slasher, with there being many sequences and scenes involving death by hot wax that are simply unforgettable. House of Wax also stands out to fans of creepy horror movie twins thanks to the presence of two specific characters – Bo and Vincent Sinclair, both played by Brian Van Holt.

Bo and Vincent are formerly conjoined twins who run the titular House of Wax, a local attraction in a barely inhabited town. However, the venue is just a front for Bo and Vincent to indulge in their true passion – murdering people who pass through the town and turning their bodies into living wax sculptures. House of Wax has gained a strong following over the years thanks to how, like many 2000s horror movies, it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Van Holt’s performance as the Sinclair brothers also helps hold together the plot while the movie jumps from kill to waxy kill.

3 Elliot And Beverly

Dead Ringers (1988)

David Cronenberg has a legacy as one of the best horror movie directors of all time, and 1988’s Dead Ringers is a creepy twins film that showcases his many strengths outside of gross-out practical effects. It also features an incredibly strong performance from Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons, known for a wide variety of roles, including voicing Scar in Disney’s The Lion King. Irons plays identical twins Elliot and Beverly Mantle, both of whom operate an esteemed gynecology practice in Toronto.

Dead Ringers stands out among the best horror movies with twins due to how effective it is as a drama, rather than relying on gore or disturbing visuals. Elliot and Beverly are both creepy and disturbing, though this is achieved without the use of any supernatural elements or practical effects. The pair, who are based on real-life twins Stewart and Cyril Marcus, are simply harrowing in their behavior and obsession with one another, and few other films in the subgenre feature identical siblings who are quite so unsettling.

A Haunting At Silver Falls is the incredibly effective supernatural horror from director Brett Donowho. Released in 2013, A Haunting At Silver Falls jumps into paranormal goings-on to introduce viewers to the spirits of murdered twins Holly and Heather (Nikita and Jade Ramsey), and the terror they can inflict when they return from the grave. The twins in A Haunting At Silver Falls are beyond terrifying, both due to the ways they’re able to torment those they haunt, and because of their appearance.

The visual effects in A Haunting At Silver Falls especially stand out among the best horror movies with kids in. The character designs for Holly and Heather are incredible, especially during moments when they appear as ghostly rotting, maggot-filled corpses. They aren’t the only ghosts in the film either, and there’s no shortage of creepy scenes as Jordan (Alix Elizabeth Gitter) attempts to unravel the mystery behind the disturbing hauntings.

When it comes to creepy twins in horror movies, none are more iconic than the Grady twins in The Shining. The 1980 film The Shining is adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name, and includes more infamous horror movie moments than almost any other feature. Legendary director Stanley Kubrick ensured that Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrence’s descent into madness was filled with as many unforgettable images as possible. However, while moments like the elevator of blood and The Shining quotes like “here’s Johnny” define the legacy of Stanley Kubrick’s unsettling horror, the creepy twins encountered by young Danny Torrence (Danny Lloyd) are just as well known.

Child actors Lisa and Louise Burns appeared as the ghost twins in The Shining. They stop young Danny in one of the corridors of the Overlook hotel, and creepily invite him to play with them. It’s an incredibly brief moment, but it’s one that shook many audience members to the core when the film was released in 1980. There’s something just incredibly disturbing about the Grady twins, made all the unsettling by how hard it is to explain exactly why they’re creepy. It’s hard to deny that when it comes to the best horror movies with twins in, The Shining is regarded by most as the strongest.
