Inspired by real-life Manhattan twin gynecologist brothers Cyril and Stewart Marcus, David Cronenberg's disturbing tale of bodily horror involves strange medical devices created especially for the film.

This movie creeps up and down your spine.

The estimable Jeremy Irons is damn good as doctors Elliot and Beverly.

Irons knows how to do a lot with little.

The story is especially dicy because the brothers share their OBGYN practice, and sexual partners.

"Dead Ringers" is by no means a date movie.

This is one effed up little horror flick. 

Side note, the real Marcus brothers (Dr. Cyril C. Marcus and Dr. Stewart L. Marcus) died of mysterious causes in their Upper East Side Sutton Terrace apartment, not far from their mutual place of medical practice at 420 East 72d Street in Manhattan.

Nightmares will follow.
