Episode 197: Dead Ringers (1988)

IT'S OUR 5TH ANNUAL CRONENBERG CHRISTMAS! What better way to start kick off the winter festivities with gynecological horror? This is clearly an Alix Webster episode.This week we take a trip to the late 80s, where Jeremy Irons plays twin Canadian doctors with British accents in DEAD RINGERS. We look at the early inspirations for this movie, which may have been based on true events, as well as how it inevitably went from somewhat of a flop to a genuine cult classic, and one of the most celebrated movies in the filmmaker's career.We even do a big plot breakdown this week as our gift to you. Now how about 5 stars to reciprocate? It's Christmas time!Classic Horror 2 by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License
