Hello everybody welcome to my channel.
If you like these videos then please support me with the Thanks Button.
Today I am going to recap and explain a recently released horror film called the twin.
The film starts in New York State where we see a family driving through the cornfield,
where they met with an accident.
We see the mom Rachel screaming in the hospital as one of her twin kids Nathan had died.
Later we see Dad Anthony, Rachel, and their other kid Elliot, in a local cemetery.
Rachel was sad and depressed after the incident, hence Anthony decides to move back to Finland
to start a new life.
He was from Finland originally.
They sold their house and started a new life in an old ancestral house.
The village in which they were staying had no church, pagan religion was prevalent there.
Anthony was a big writer hence everybody admired him.
Elliot likes this new place, he starts wandering around which terrifies Rachel.
She was overprotective after losing Nathan.
These guys moved in, and Elliot choose his room on the top floor.
He too was missing Nathan, he asked for an extra bed to feel comfortable.
Rachel unwillingly agreed.
Elliot was playing with Nathan's toys.
Anthony disapproved of this as there's sole purpose was to move ahead from Nathan's memory.
This was not helping.
While sleeping Rachel gets a dream where she was attending a funeral.
There were lots of people.
The next day these guys bury Natan's items in front of a cross.
Eliot barries Nathan's mesh game toy.
Later these guys go on a boat ride where Anthony narrates an urban legend story.
He points at a handprint and says it is rumored to be from an ancient time.
It is believed that whoever touches this and wishes for something, will come true.
Elliot in his innocence touches that and wishes for something.
The next day life was normal Anthony was writing his book, Rachel was washing the clothes,
and suddenly she heard the voice of two kids from Elliot's room.
Elliot was playing all himself but he was talking to someone.
Rachel asked him what he was doing but Elliot didn't answer, he just closed the door on
Rachel's face.
This seems odd to Rachel.
Later these guys attend the welcome party organized by the villagers in their honor.
There Rachel meets Anthony's family friend and doctor.
None from the village were talking to Rachel, she thought they might not know the English
language.
Then we see Lady called Helen who says they know English, but they are just ignoring you.
Give them some time to know you.
Later She took Rachel for a walk outside where both started chatting.
Rachel told her that she used to be a photographer, specializing in architectural buildings shape
kind of images.
They are here to start a new life as Anthony felt more comfortable here.
Suddenly Helen held Rachel's hand and says I am not crazy, the rest of them are.
I had a dream about you and your boy.
His wish has been granted.
Rachel couldn't understand what she was talking about, just then Anthony came there with Elliot
and the doctor.
They took her away.
Before leaving Helen gave her, her card.
The villagers now placed Helen and Anthony on a ceremonial wedding swing.
This is swing was for the newlywed couple to mark their new beginning.
Since Anthony and Rachel were married in America, this symbolized their new beginning here.
Rachel was hesitant, on the swing she started feeling dizzy.
All of a sudden Elliot ran from there.
After a couple of swings, Rachel collapsed.
In the evening we see Rachel in Elliot's room, she scolds him mildly for running away.
Eliot says I want to sleep on my bed.
For Rachel, this sounds silly as he was sleeping on his bed.
At night we see Elliot switching his beds, he was on Nathan's bed.
The next morning Rachel and Elliot were playing while Anthony was crying.
He was holding Nathans's photo.
After cooking the food Rachel calls for Elliot a couple of times but he doesn't answer.
He was busy drawing something.
when she saw his drawing she was shocked, he drew a picture where he wanted to hurt
his mother.
This confused Rachel she just tossed that drawing into a dustbin and assured Elliot
that she loves him.
Later we see her waking up at night, she had a terrible nightmare, she drinks water and
soon omits it.
She also omitted a whole black wheat grain.
She was totally confused, just then she saw Elliot standing across the house, he was screaming.
Without thinking twice She ran outside to grab him.
she asked him what he was doing there.
Elliot was shouting why did you leave me.
why did you leave me?
Rachel was totally frustrated, she didn't understand what was happening.
Hence she concluded this must be a dream.
Indeed it was.
she was dreaming all of this.
This time she wakes up real and checks on Elliot.
He was sleeping on Nathan's bed.
She picked him up and put him on his bed.
Elliot protested this, he says, I am not Eliot, I am Nathan.
Elliot's gone.
The next morning Rachel and Anthony argued about Elliot.
Rachel thought Elliot's behavior has changed drastically since He ran away at the ceremonial
swing thing.
She told Anthony about Helen but Anthony dismissed Helen as a crackpot.
Advised her to stay away from her like the rest of the villagers.
The villagers were not on talking terms with Helen.
Later she blamed herself for her kid's mental condition.
She tried to remove Nathan's toys from Elliot's room but Eliot's stopped her.
He said these are my toys, he was insisting that he was Nathan.
Anthony took Rachel and Elliot to his doctor and explained everything.
The doctor was of the opinion that Elliot was handling the drama of losing his twin
brother in his own way.
He was reflecting on the emotions of his mother.
Since Ratchel was always sad and depressed thinking about Nathan, Elliot might have developed
an alternate personality of Nathan.
The doctor saw this more as Rachele's problem than as Elliot's.
Rachel was furious at this suggestion, she thought the problem was clearly with Elliot
not with her.
She grabbed Elliot and walked away from the clinic.
Two old villagers were steering her as she walk passed them.
few more steered at her while she was in her car.
Without much help from anybody around, Rachel pays a visit to Halen.
She narrates the story.
Halen had her own theory, she says this village has no church, whenever anyone tried to build
one it was burned down.
This is a pagan religion area.
All buildings here have circular shapes, farms, fields, waterways everything.
She shows Rachel a few drawings and says the circle represents sacrilege against Holy Trinity.
She says Elliot might have been possessed by a demon called Incubus.
This village is his territory.
Rachel thought this was crazy she just ran away from there.
That night Halen gets a dream where someone was in her house.
Something attacked her and killed her.
She narrates this dream to Rachel the next morning.
She further says her husband was also possessed.
He tried warning me but I didn't believe him.
He paid the price with his death.
She shows his photo where his face was blurred whereas hers and other was visible.
Rachel was still not sure, she just thought her mind might be playing tricks with her.
That night she again gets the same funeral image where the coffin was of a kid.
The next days she took a camera and started playing with Elliot near the swings.
She took a couple of photos which irritated Elliot.
He angrily shouted at her.
At night Elliot was throwing tantrums, he was saying dad doesn't love me.
He hates me.
Just then Rachel found Nathan's toy which she had buried the next day when they arrived
here.
She was furious at Elliot for digging it up, she forcefully grabs this and later burns
it.
Elliot was insisting that he was Nathan.
Rachel was overwhelmed by this, it was too much for her to handle.
Anthony calms her down.
This time we see Elliot in Rachel's room, he took her to his room and said Nathan wants
to talk with you.
He lit a candle in front of a mirror and asked her to call Nathan while looking at it.
Rachel did that, she saw the image of Nathan holding his toy which she literally burned.
She was sure by this that something supernatural is happening in this house.
Just then the mirror bursts, and we see Anthony with the villagers.
He says he just wants Elliot then we can get our Nathan back.
Meaning the demon wants Elliot in exchange he will grant Nathan.
Rachel doesn't agree but it was late.
Elliot had vanished here.
Anthony says his already with him.
The villagers grab Rachel and we see the doctor with his needles sedating Rachel.
Helen was sleeping in her house, she gets all this in her dream.
She was getting visions like earlier when she claimed she saw Elliot making a wish.
The next morning Rachel wakes up in her bed pretty late.
Anthony had cooked breakfast.
While throwing trash she saw broken mirror pieces.
She was confused and scared.
she was in a dilemma about what she saw yesterday night was it a real thing or just a dream.
If it's real then Anthony was in it too.
He can't be trusted.
The family decides for shopping, and Rachel gets her photos printed.
Elliot was missing from those photos.
This made her realize that what she was seeing is not Elliot.
He might be the ghost of Nathan.
Real Elliot might be missing.
She quickly runs to Halen's house and explains everything.
Halen says the demon is just playing with you.
I need to see your kid asap.
While in-car Rachel tells her about the exchange offer.
Halen was surprised by this, she thinks this might not be a simple possession case but
rather a deliberate long plan.
Anthony might have done a deal with the devil.
His success, Nathan's death, and Elliot's possession might be for making you ready.
They want you to bear the devil.
It's the resurrection of the devil.
They wanted Nathan's flesh.
They intend to imbue Nathan's soul into Elliot's body.
Rachel was rattled by this, she was ready to do anything to save her son.
Halen and Rachel arrive at the house.
She shows Halen Elliot, Halen was shocked to see this.
She was terrified, she calls Rachel sick and walks out.
Elliot was sitting there smiling, Rachel was confused, and she runs after Halen were both
bumped into Anthony and the rest of the villagers.
Halen in panic tries to shoot at them but the villagers grabbed her quickly and stopped
her.
The doctor sedated her.
As she went to sleep, she had another vision.
She was beside the sacrificial pond, villagers had pinned her down.
Anthony and others were there for insurrection.
He cuts Elliot's throat and makes Rachel drink his blood.
Soon Rachel becomes pregnant.
They does some kind of ritual on her belly and took her for a dip in the water.
With this Rachel wakes ups, she hears Elliot's screaming voice.
She follows that voice, on the way she saw the doctor, he was saying it's time.
She will be fine.
Rachel runs to the attic following the voice, she found Elliot in a box.
He was dressed in the same costume that she saw in her dream.
Meaning he was about to get sacrificed.
She picks him up and runs from the back door.
Anthony saw her running, he started chasing her in the woods.
He caught her, and a fight ensues.
Rachel was convinced that he was going to kill her son.
Now Anthony reveals the truth to her.
While shouting he says, there are no twins.
We only had a kid, Nathan.
We fought, you picked Nathan and left the home.
You met with the accident, Nathan died.
You blamed me for driving, you went into depression.
But one day your mind invented Elliot, a hallucination, you thought of him as your other twin kid.
This made you happy.
You were happy for the first time in a long time, hence I carried on with it.
But with time your condition deteriorated, you caused trouble to many.
I placed you in an asylum but your condition didn't improve, without Elliot, you were a
living corpse.
That's why I brought you here.
Here we see a few clips where Rachel was playing with imaginary Elliot, he was never there.
That's why villagers were not talking with her, that is why they were staring at her.
Anthony says there is no devil, no possession everything is in your head.
All this time Elliot was shouting at Rachel, he was dragging her.
Rachel gets another vision where she was near the burnt car, there she sees Nathan's burnt
body.
For a moment Elliot disappears think her that whatever Anthony said might be true.
But her condition has progressed she again sees Elliot and runs after him.
She ends up at a wheat silo.
She was looking at the landing pad where Elliot was standing.
Anthony tries to convince her, to prove this time he pores wheat on the landing pad.
From Rachel's perspective Wheat was falling on Elliot, hence to stop it, she attacks Anthony.
Anthony falls and unfortunately dies.
Rachel started digging through the heap of wheat but she didn't find Elliot.
Finally, she realized it was all true, Anthony was right.
Next, we see her in New York where she had buried Anthony besides Nathan.
In the background we see the Twin Towers implying this movie was set in the 90s.
As she came back from the cemetery, she sees Anthony sitting beside her.
Her twins were at the back of the car.
Implying her condition got worse.
With this, the film ends.
Man, this was one powerful film, I really liked this.
This showcases the mind of a hallucinating person.
How they preserve the world and a normal people see the world.
Villagers knew about Rachel's condition yet they arranged the party.
They knew English still nobody told Rachel that Elliot was not real.
They were all helping by doing nothing.
In a small village and community people really help.
I guess here we see many people with many mental issues.
Rachel was obvious.
Anthony was also not healthy, whatever may be the reason, one must not encourage hallucination.
This leads to a gradual decline in health and later destruction.
Mental health is a serious issue.
Helen was altogether another case.
When she first met Rachel she says I am not crazy, the rest of the villagers are.
This is the sign of something fishy, the villagers were not on talking terms with her hence nobody
told her about Rachel's condition.
Halen tells Rachel about Elliot making a wish that she claimed she saw in her dream.
Meaning she had some connection with supernatural things, and her husband's possession was true.
Her theory was feeding Rachel's hallucination.
Elliot was created by Rachel, when she arrived in Finland, Elliot was switched to Nathan.
The reason was not clear, Jet lag, Change of diet, unstable mental health perhaps.
Halen seeded the idea of possession in Rachel's mind.
She suggested an insurrection thing.
Later when she realized that there was no Nathan she called Rachel Sick.
Overall this is a solid horror movie.
One can surely enjoy it.
The ending could have been better.
After watching moonlight I predicted this ending hands down.
So if you liked this video then please give it alike.
