The Evil Twin

This was a pretty good movie with Emily Piggford playing Emily/Charlotte and good use of split screen editing. Emily escapes a physically abusive man (Jared) and goes back to her home town in Mill County. The problem is many people there think she's Charlotte and they hate her for what she's done. She finally meets up with Charlotte who makes Emily's life a living hell. Would watch this one again filmed in Ontario, Canada.

As soon as it showed Lifetime Movies...I thought OH NO...With their REP. of using what always appear to look like 'trainee actors and directors' this one followed suit. The editing was appalling too and there was so was so many stupid scenarios, I FForwarded to the end. Such a shame because the storyline was good What is the matter with Lifetime are they on such a tight budget they can't afford to hire good people?

Emily opens the door and Charlotte is looking in the mirror. Emily, "I think I'm your sister". DUH. Charlotte, "I don't have a sister". Again, DUH. Where did that even come from? I've been around 5 sets of identical twins and you can ALWAYS see the physical differences. The whole premise is comical. I guess when you get your hair cut like a little boy your face also changes dramatically. I watched a half hour of this one and shut it off. Just dumb. The whole David and Emily thing was dry, robotic and just plain silly. Just an acting and writing disaster rolled into one. Save yourself the time and ignore this mess.

Emily escapes from a bad relationship, returns to her home town.

Standard fare, expect there's a handsome firefighter/single dad somewhere?

Usefully, a friend lends her a house in exchange for looking after friend's antique shop. We see her proving her fitness for this job by attacking a table with harsh sandpaper.

First customer in the friend's shop buys a desk for his nine-year-old daughter - without asking the price - and invites Emily to dinner.

Customer's small daughter is, she and her daddy tell us, an expert on Jane Austen and has read all her books. Plot really going off-piste here.

Apparently Emily has a long lost twin sister who may be a wrong 'un.

The good townsfolk don't actually hold up garlic or make signs warding off the evil eye but they come close.

Sinister sister looks sort-of-like Emily. OK I was half asleep but camera angles, wigs, dark glasses meant I was genuinely unsure the same actress played both roles. (Closing credits say she did) Anyway, BadSis spends all her time taking calls from equally sinister chap making threats. A guy called Trevor - or possibly Blake - is dead. Or not. And who is he anyway? I'd lost track by this point.

No idea why BadSis is committing her crimes. She just stomps about trying to murder people. Sweetie, learn to knit, bake cupcakes, you'd have more fun and so would we.

I left the film running but only because the TV remote was out of reach and I couldn't be @rsed to get off the sofa.

Seriously, don't bother. You'll be better amused rearranging your sock drawer or weighing the cat.

The movie wasn't that great, but I did enjoy some parts of it. That being said, I come to IMDB when I want to know things like...was that really twins or did the same girl play both Emily and Charlotte?? Your team is severely missing things...there's no one billed for Charlotte. I'm left to assume that Emily Piggford played both roles and is not, in fact, a twin in real life.
