I'm glad I'm not a drug addicted doctor with a twin. Being a drug addicted doctor is difficult enough.

The movie comes full circle psychologically at the end. You are left with something thought provoking and sad. Irons performance is incredible.

I only watched this for background to the new Prime show of the same name. It doesn't have the scare factor of a usual Cronenberg movie.

In “Dead Ringers,” Jeremy Irons plays a double role as the twins Elliot and Beverly, who have made a name for themselves as gynecologists. Both have very different personalities and yet are so much alike that their patients and people close to them can hardly tell them apart, which they often shamelessly exploit. For director David Cronenberg, the movie is surprisingly mild in terms of effects, but some body horror is certainly present. However, it is primarily the moral decay of the two brothers that forms the basis for the horror. Irons plays both roles superbly, especially when things really go downhill for both of them at some point. However, I was less enthusiastic about the other roles. And at least the start of the movie could have been a bit more brisk. Apart from that, “Dead Ringers” is definitely worth a look.

I skipped it in the 80s for a reason. Could've lived longer not watching it. Jeremy Irons did an excellent role though.

“Dead Ringers” sees a more restrained Cronenberg stepping away from most of his usual body horror tropes to focus on brooding psychodrama. The intentions are good, but unfortunately, the movie itself came out as rather pretentious and naive. It's not terrible, but it could have been so much more. Still worth being remembered for the sexy red gowns and Jeremy Irons’ performance.

Excellent but disturbing movie based on true events with a brilliant Jeremy Irons in a double role.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Dead Ringers’: 1. I _also_ had a difficult time telling the two brothers apart. Sometimes I wasn’t sure who I was watching, and the film made me feel like I was supposed to know. Mildly frustrating. Still, Jeremy Irons was pretty good at playing double duty. 2. With Cronenberg as director, I was expecting more. Not sure what exactly… just more. 3. Meh. That’s all I’ve really got. I can see how some people would appreciate this. It was just aight in my opinion. Not incredibly memorable.

Ugh, what a snoozefest. I just couldn'#39;t find any enjoyement out of this at all. It'#39;s so slow, boring, and dumb. The plot went nowhere. It'#39;s not bizzare, weird, and artistic like most of Cronenberg'#39;s works and it'#39;s not even a horror film. Jeremy Irons plays double characters, as much as I appreciate his effort, the acting isn'#39;t anything remarkable. The characters are annoying. It'#39;s scary the fact that Claire'#39;s in love with Beverly after they shared her without her knowing. That'#39;s beyond disgusting. There'#39;s one particular scene that I like, when Bev'#39;s having a bad dream about his and Elliot'#39;s conjoined bodies. That'#39;s so sick!

Underrated film about the darkness in all relationships and ask the question are any of us beyond being co-dependent?

'#34;Dead Ringers'#34; (1988) is one of those films you recognize not by its name but by its strange unusual art cover. Definitely one for the twins.

Not seen it yet but how can the women not know the difference when the twins are a man 'amp; a woman? Elliot 'amp; Beverly? Is Beverly a cross dressing man who just calls himself Beverly? Strange plot.
