Overview
Marie, a film producer, returns to her native Russia to find her birth parents. She quickly learns they are dead, and she has inherited their long-empty farmhouse. At the farm, she meets Nicolai, who claims to be her twin brother. Events take a terrifying turn when the two spot a pair of ghastly doppelgangers and the house itself seems to propel them toward a fate they should have met 40 years earlier.

Viewing Notes
Wanted this one for my 31 in 31 challenge but didn’t arrive in time. Definitely has Cerda’s touch in the direction and special FX. The story requires a suspension of belief I wasn’t willing to give considering the lack of any real mysticism or ritual activity outside of a Final Destination twist. Still one of the better “8 Films to Die For” flicks from that After Dark series.
