Seconds Apart

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 have learned better than to simply take a good or poor IMDb score as proof that a movie may be enjoyable.

I grabbed this movie, not expecting a whole lot, honestly. Having recently tortured myself with Anthony Hopkins in the laughable "The Rite", I figured this couldn't be nearly as bad.

And I was right. Sure, the plot is a bit predictable - but very well shot. Color palate of the film matched the surroundings, and points for the use of the creepy Gothic Southern manor.

The actors portraying the twins were really quite good, as were most of the student roles. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about Orlando Jones, expect to say that he didn't annoy me in his police officer role - neither over the top, nor dead in the water.

For a Tuesday night film, this far exceeded my expectations.

Well done!

SECONDS APART stars identical twin actors Edmund and Gary Entin as Jonah and Seth Trimble. They're busily working on a "project" that somehow leads to the apparent suicides of its subjects.

A cop (a brilliantly serious Orlando Jones) tries to figure out why so many deaths seem to lead back to the Trimble brothers.

Soaked through with a bleak atmosphere of building dread, this movie plays like the ultimate X-FILES episode. It scores extra points for originality.

One of the best eeevil twin movies since THE OTHER...

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!

Where did this great little movie pop up from - I'd never heard of it or its two main twin stars.

Whatever, it's a great little horror film. The pre-credits opening sequence is genuinely disturbing and hooks you right away.

Gore-wise it's not a film with a constant flow of blood or rapidly rising body-count but when the violence comes, strewth, it's pretty disturbing.

A couple of great twists, too.

And cinematography isn't something I usually comment on but this really was beautifully shot.

One of the crispest looking movies I've seen in a while - at times it looked almost 3D.

Well worth checking out.
