Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Predrag Great vampire movie made during the time Hammer studios decided to show off more 'skin' with their beauties - "Twins of Evil" stars Peter Cushing in a great role as a priest. What I like about "Twins of Evil" (besides the very pretty twins) is Peter Cushings character. He is a witch-finder who just happens to have actually found someone evil in the evil Baron. Unlike Van Helsing he is not careful or considered he just rushes in to kill anyone he judges as evil. The film is quite well done with some tense moments and an excellent atmosphere. Some good ideas, to one I like is that you can't become a vampire unless you are evil if you are good and bitten by a vampire you just die mores the pity!Cushing steals the show as the marvellously maniacal Gustav Weil. It is a shame that ill health limited Dennis Price's appearance as his fearful fawning showed a degree of acting skill that many of the younger cast could have done with learning from. With some good effects for the time and the contrast between Mary who is pure and innocent, and her worldlier sister Frieda this does make for some enjoyable viewing. Peter Cushing in his role at times seems more dangerous than the actual vampires as he is quick to burn anyone in sight that isn't part of his congregation. Dennis Price others sturdy support but is done no favors by the writer (Tudour Gates) as he is under developed, while the twins themselves, their voices dubbed, are fine and able to put enough of a different slant on their characters for us viewers to know which one is which. Damien Thomas' lustily fanged count is not a particularly striking villain, and David Warbeck as the normal love interest is too weak an actor to convince in the role. Anyone who loves classic horror with saturated color and period costume will not be disappointed.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

Leofwine_draca TWINS OF EVIL is the third and final of Hammer's Karnstein trilogy and it has the most interesting storyline of all three. That's because the film combines two successful sub-genres of horror, the witch-burning film and the vampire movie. The two subjects don't necessarily go hand in hand so it's remarkable at just how successfully they combine here.The movie is headlined by Peter Cushing in one of his most villainous performances as a witch hunter who'd give Matthew Hopkins a run for his money. Cushing spends half the movie burning innocent girls alive and the other half being a general fiend and antagonist, and what's really special is that Cushing still finds the spark of humanity deep within his character. You hate him, but a small part of you admires him despite his actions.The Karnstein plodding is familiar stuff, with Damien Thomas an acceptable if unremarkable villain; the stuff with the twins, Mary and Madeleine Collinson, is less interesting (they weren't cast for their acting talents, after all) but they don't have an overwhelming amount of screen time. David Warbeck has a nice role as a youthful hero. As usual, TWINS OF EVIL wins out thanks to the sumptuous production values, even at this late stage of the Hammer game; the film is a visual treat of cobwebby castles, ruined graveyards, and haunted crypts, contrasting with the general bucolic charm of the period.

BA_Harrison The Austrian town of Karnstein isn't a very safe place for well-endowed, pretty young women: puritanical witch-hunter Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing) and his Brotherhood of religious fanatics like to burn them at the stake, while thrill-seeking nobleman Count Karnstein (Damien Thomas) prefers to use them as sacrifices in his Satanic games.Gustav's sexy twin teenage nieces, saintly Maria and wayward Frieda (Mary and Madeleine Collinson), might be free from persecution by The Brotherhood, but they are not safe from the count, who has recently been turned into a vampire, having accidentally revived his ancient undead ancestor Mircalla.The first two films in Hammer's Karnstein Trilogy, The Vampire Lovers (1970) and Lust For A Vampire (also 1970), featured plenty of nudity from its bevy of buxom starlets, making them great fun for those who enjoy the studio's more provocative efforts. For the final movie in the series, Twins of Evil, Hammer clearly decided to go one better in the sexy stakes—by casting real-life twin Playboy Playmates Mary and Madeleine Collinson.Somewhat surprisingly, there is little genuine nudity from the gorgeous twins (plenty of tempting cleavage, but only one topless scene from Madeleine), but regardless of this fact, Twins of Evil is arguably the best of the Karnstein series. The stunning Collinson sisters make for excellent eye-candy, but the film also benefits from elegant direction by John Hough, a wonderfully chilling performance from Peter Cushing, opulent sets and superb cinematography, and some shocking bright red gore in the film's closing moments, including a juicy impalement, a machete in the head, and a cool decapitation.

chuckchuck21 Twins of Evil- First off, yes this is the movie starring the Collinson Twins the first twins as Playboy Centerfolds. Yes they are beautiful & sexy. Yes any guy would sleep with either or both. The note worthy thing here is that both put in a tremendous acting performance.Mary plays the pure virtuous sister Maria & Madeleine plays the I want to be bitten in the neck sister Frieda. As Frieda asks in the show, What if I don't want a good man? Peter Cushing is excellent as their witch hunting uncle that burns all evil to purify it. The usual group of Hammer Film supporting cast is here & as great as usual.This was surpassingly good & told as the simplest vampire tale I have seen. Two nieces are sent to guardianship with their uncle played by Peter Cushing. He, of course, lives in the village directly below Karnstein Castle. Although the twins are impossible to tell apart by sight they do not remotely resemble each other in spirit. Good vs evil, Greedy vs content, dominant vs submissive all play here & very well from both. If you're looking for lots of nudity as in Lust for a Vampire you'll be somewhat disappointed but not totally. As I said earlier this is a straight forward & refreshing vampire story with a few surprises in story line. I am choosing to leave those out of this review & hope others have too.It is the great sense of Evil that this movie portrays so effectively. Against that, Peter Cushing's puritanical over zealous errors play powerfully. The vivid desire to be evil (Frieda) is shown against the desire to only be contented, be pleasant & a refreshment to others (Maria). Set against the village elders misguided tyrannical rule that bears fruit non-the-less in the end. Don't miss this 3rd installment of the Karnstein Castle & Mircalla / Carmilla / Marcilla Karnstein. The pacing of the scenes is ideal & the flow of the story perfect. I found no errors here. Thank You to Hammer Films.
