Description: A man who has been having psychic visions of himself killing naked women soon discovers that it’s not himself he’s seeing, it’s his Siamese twin. (yes, they’ve been separated) So he travels to Hamburg, where the things he’s seen start to come to pass…
Review: The acting is very good. Michael Moriarity plays dual roles as the protagonist and his psychopathic brother. Cameron Mitchell has a pretty decent cameo as an aging prize fighter. Penelope Milford is also pretty good. The script has Milford and all the other women in this movie generously shedding their clothes, even though doing so often requires their characters to be unbelievably stupid. One woman goes to bed with the identical twin of a man who she has just watched beat her elderly father to death, even though she really only has his own word that he is in fact the twin. Milford herself basically lets the homicidal brother rape her in an ill-conceived effort to save her unfaithful boyfriend from a murder charge. The ending might be an interesting attempt to explore the same psychological and metaphysical ground touched on in “Sisters” or the later David Cronenberg movie “Dead Ringers”, or it could be just another sorry excuse to show Milford naked–hard to tell with these kind of movies. An interesting film though, especially for Michael Moriarty and/or giallo fans.
