Seconds Apart

I can't believe it! I loved this film so much! I had this like two weeks, but never bothered to watch it, until today. And I'm surprised I kept myself waiting this long! I loved the story, loved the twins, loved the girl, loved the murders! I think it's a great story, and every scene was an eye-blessing. The goth mansion and the creepy brothers with special powers were just the way they were supposed to be and I think it's the first After Dark film worth watching. I've tried watching some other After Dark stuff, but I was finding myself sleeping half way during the film. This is excellent stuff. Definitely in my Top 20! You should watch it! Amazingly stunning!

After the death of four high school students, the last two playing Russian Roulette, Detective Lampkin (Orlando Jones) investigates the case interviewing the students in the school. The teenager Katie Dunn (Jennifer Foreman) mentions the weird twins, Jonah (Edmund Entin) and Seth (Gary Entin) Trimble and Lampkin summons the brothers for interrogation. Lampkin is a traumatized man that lost his beloved wife in a fire and has deep scars not only on the face, but also in his soul.

After the deaths of Katie and the pedophile Kirby (Rusty Tennant), Lampkin learns that the twins have an evil telepathic connection and are capable to make people live their worst nightmares. He goes further in his investigation and discovers that the evil twins are the result of an experiment. However, his superiors do not trust on him and believe that he has hallucinations. Meanwhile Jonah falls in love with Eve (Samantha Droke) but his brother does not want to separate from him.

"Seconds Apart" is a creepy movie about two powerful twins that use their abilities for the evil. The story has a great atmosphere and the weirdos are scary. Unfortunately, the messy conclusion is very disappointing, but anyway this film worth to see. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Sentimentos Mortais" ("Mortal Feelings")

I'm really glad I watched this!

The story is actually pretty interesting. Thanks to Seconds Apart I found the band Sideway Runners (they play the song that Eve shows to Jonah in her room- which I liked so I went and checked the band out and they're pretty fine).

Also the twins were great. The blood scenes were really well done. I mean, it's another level of gore movies. I hope more people get a chance to see this.

I wasn't familiar with Antonio Negret's work but now I'm definitely looking forward to watch more movies directed by him.

Great horror film to watch... with twins. I totally recommend it!

This was an interesting film regarding superpowers of evil twins. The film makes several brave choices by not following normal procedure. This leads to a more artistic movie where you don't feel too invested in any one characters. It jumps in and out of the lives of a typical troubled cop/detective, but doesn't stay with it enough to feel too generic. The acting by the twins was very good and helps set the somewhat unsettling atmosphere.

Unfortunately, there was wasted potential. Motivations for the twins was not flushed out enough, the ending was okay but weak, and one plot hole was too annoying to ignore. One character points out two specific differences between the twins, but then is obviously fooled later on. Why even shoot that scene if you are going to completely disregard it later? Also, the illusions seem to occur, and crumble, when necessary to move the plot, and possibly lasted while the caster was asleep??

A somewhat generic story told/shown somewhat uniquely with a strong cast and united twin powers. An enjoyable, but flawed affair. I hope these twins star in more movies!

Identical Twins Edmund and Gary Entin star in Seconds Apart. The title refers to the fact that the two were born exactly that way to their mother. In point of fact for purposes of this film understand that they can't be apart for a second.

Like the Halliwell sisters on Charmed with their power of three, these two have the power of two, they are telepathically blessed from their point of view or cursed from everyone else. Since they were little kids when they experimented on their late babysitter when they pool concentration they can do remarkable things to others.

A couple of kids at their Catholic High School died playing Russian roulette and that gets cops involved, specifically Detective Orlando Jones. He figures out what was going on since the boys have the power to force hallucinations and he's still traumatized by the loss of his wife in a fire. The problem is that Jones can't get anyone else to believe him.

The two Entin kids are terrifying and the film does create a nice atmosphere of Gothic horror like what used to be done at Universal Studios in those classic days. This one's a bit above the usual slash and gore flicks inflicted on the public today.
