Twins of Evil 4K 1971 Ultra HD 2160p

After being orphaned, the Gelhorn twin sisters move from the capital to a small provincial town, where they come under the guardianship of their Uncle Gustav—the head of the local religious brotherhood. One of the sisters falls in love with Count Karnstein, who had sacrificed one of the village girls to Satan, for which he was turned into a vampire by Satan himself. Soon, she, too, becomes a vampire.

One day, their uncle learns what has happened. Of course, Frida was destined to be burned at the stake, but the dark forces led by Count Karnstein swapped Frida—who had been imprisoned in the dungeon—for her sweet little sister Maria, and if it weren’t for the help of Anton, the historian who was in love with her, she would have been burned at the stake by the village Inquisition….

User Review
The delicious Collinson twins, Mary and Madeleine, are reason enough to catch this technically accomplished and subtly erotic horror flick from Hammer; these ladies are sex incarnate and burn up the screen every time they appear.

Twins aside, director John Hough's contribution to English vampire lore is a very tight, exceptionally well directed and staged tale of bloodsucking and rampant desire.

Peter Cushing, as Gustav Weil, is the God-fearing leader of The Brotherhood, a bunch of old witch-finders who stalk pretty girls with bad reputations and confine them to burning crosses. Life gets complicated for old Gustav when his sexy niece (Madeleine Collinson) gets curious about Karnstein castle and its Satan-worshipping occupant (Damien Thomas) and decides to open her legs and heart to the arrogant neck-biter.

TWINS OF EVIL gets everything right. The photography, by Dick Bush, is stunning; the miniature work is never less than believable; the violence is more bloody than usual. The on-screen nudity is more explicit than is typical for a Hammer production and the storyline adequately provides for a generous amount of chills and thrills.

An evocative exploration of the fascinating nature of evil and reasons aplenty to submit to the humid charms of ladies with voracious appetites.
